That’s how my Dad is still married to my Mom. Talking about your day through a recorder and then thinking people are listening to it. I wanted to reflect that with Tracer since she acts like a kid.įor her personality, I decided to make her a fan of ice cream because that’s how most v-blogs/podcast goes. I looked upon Spider-Man as a source of inspiration since he’s the cocky kid who, after a series of hardened battles and some travesty, matures into a determined superhero. After the disbandment, she becomes more determined and matures into a traveling vigilante. I want her to be a bit happy and sometimes a bit cocky because she knows Overwatch has always got her back. The setting before Overwatch’s disbandment also became a point where I develop her character to be more quirky cocksure fun. She cannot give out every explicit detail of her mission, so she’ll come off vague sometimes. I set this before Overwatch disbanded, so Tracer can still be insanely popular in the eyes of her fans. I have to approach this in a lore-friendly way, so I researched into her origin video, various quotes in gameplay vids, and the announcement cinematic. Since I couldn’t find a see-through tablet model similar to what the security guard was using in the Overwatch cinematic, I chose another tablet, which you can assume that Tracer is still a bit of ol’ fashioned. She most likely has a following of fans she wants to connect with. Besides, she’s one of those funsies type of girls. I realized that was a great idea of having a character narrate what happened in their day, and having Tracer doing a podcast/v-blog/whatever was a perfect fit for her. Then I thought back to my previous project, Hartman’s Journal. When developing the idea, I was wondering what Tracer would do or talk about. Tracer’s and Widowmaker’s models were recently released in SFM and Garry’s Mod at the time, but instead of doing the same thing every sex poser is doing, I’d rather shift the tone into creating a fun little comic on a popular character, Tracer.

It was then that I began thinking about creating a comic centered around an Overwatch character. I attempted to apply, but he hasn’t replied back. I suppose what brought it to the frontlines was a Reddit post from a comic artist seeking a good comic writer for his Overwatch comic. While I wanted to create an Overwatch comic, the motivation and ideas were in the back of my mind. I always enjoyed creating Team Fortress 2 comics due to the expressions and characters I could attempt to replicate. Swift as a feather and cheerful like a child.
