- Widowmaker: I made her short and creepy to not only reflect her ballet background and Talon conditioning, but to parallel her feminine movements. Widowmaker’s edit still retains her sexualised femme-fatale appearance, but there’s now an additional level of threat from her sunken face and visible veins. She’s a literal cold blooded killer.
"
I made her short and creepy..." Why? Widowmaker is supposed to contrast Tracers design, which you've admitted to being perfect, so making her short when Tracer already is average or below average height is ridicilous. The creepy part is more understandable, but it still doesn't make much sense considering ballerinas aren't really supposed to be creepy, and doesn't reflect her ballerina background at all. Don't they tend to be tall and slender?
Just like she is in canon? Makes you think!
"Talon conditioning..." I'm pretty sure torture doesn't magically make you look like if knock-off Slenderman got blended together with blueberries + an added 20 years of sleep deprivation and yellow circle lenses. In canon only the blueberry part applies, which my suspension of disbelief can work with.
"Still retains her sexualised femme-fatale appearance... " ... You sure have a weird definition of sexy.
"Additional level of threat..." That's not really good thing here.
