A skin in Overwatch is particularly popular with the community. Symmetra as a dragon lady inspires many artworks.
Currently, the “Halloween Terror 2017” event is taking place in Overwatch, where players can earn many new items. Among them are 8 legendary skins that all (more or less) fit the Halloween theme. The visual highlight is likely the Symmetra skin that transforms her into a dark dragon lady.
At least Symmetra’s scaly appearance seems to immediately inspire the community to create some artworks. Just a few hours after the skin’s release, there are hundreds of drawings and various artworks of her.
It can be attributed to several reasons why Symmetra has become the focus of fan art. On one hand, the dragon skin turned out to be quite sexy, and on the other hand, it’s the first skin where she really looks evil. Combined with her condescending “laugh” emote, the dragon skin makes Symmetra one of the darkest characters in the game.
We want to briefly introduce a few of these artworks here – but more are being added every hour! It looks like Symmetra is slowly outpacing Widowmaker as the most desired heroine…
Symmetra Was Once Planned to Be Evil
Originally, Symmetra was planned to be a villain, but her story simply developed in a different direction. Although she strives for beauty and perfection, she is not willing to do truly evil things for it.
What do you think of Symmetra’s new skin? Creepy-sexy and just right? Or is it too silly for such a serious character?
