Thoughts on Overwatch character designs (Winston edition)

Not a whole lot of differences between skins. A very mute color pallet (gray, brown, black), with the only sharp contrast being the sharp white. It draws my eyes to his chest and forearms, but I don't know why that would add to the design. I do like the blueish-black color of his face and beard. Helps distinguish him from his suit. Both skins are clearly designed after astronaut suits but redesigned forncombat, which does come across really well. It's also a good hint towards his lore. I wish his facial expression wasn't so angry looking. I'm sure this is a reference to his ultimate, but his voicelines and interactions make him seem more gentle, curious, and awkward. I wish his expression was one of thoughtfulness or curiosity.

Overwatch 1: a perfectly fine 5/10. A good concept with a nice design idea, but without the creativity to make him anything but a gorilla in a space suit.

Overwatch 2: an above average 6/10. It has more rounded, softer edges, and his proportions looke like they have been modify in a way i like (bigger head, broader hindquaters, stomach sticks out more). And I like how the metal on his head was re-imagined to look like a headpeice.
