Widowmaker is Miss November!

Thanks! If I could animate more efficiently, I'd love to make longer clips. But currently it just takes me a long time to create even these short loops. I know I could animate these a lot faster, but I just don't know how yet. It's probably a matter of experience. Planning out the shots would be a big help as well ... currently I spend a lot of time trying different things to see what works.

By far some of the best models of overwatch characters and superb animations. !Was wondering though if you plan to create longer flims in the future granted your rising success continues?

Thanks and yup, I agree with the hair thing. See my comment on Firts Lats' reply below for more info about that.

Thanks for the critique! For the old hair I painted an additional map, which had these extra strands in it. I did that cause, same as you, I thought it looked to plasticky otherwise. This time around, I decided to ditch that extra map and stick with the original ones instead. I believe Blizzard uses a custom shader for their hair, which is impossible for me to recreate exactly. I agree with you though, the hair doesn't look very good. I'm not sure I can do a lot better though, cause it's a single big surface and this is the kind of look you're gonna get with that, if you don't have custom shaders for this sort of thing. I have a few ideas though and will give this another pass after I finish the picture.

New model looks really good, except the hair which look too shiny. Too much phong/specular? Either way, good job so far.

I don't do smart! :D Nah, it'd mean cheating you guys out of a poll. It's just a picture, so it's not a ton of work!

That's the plan! At least there'll be a clothed version ... whether or not it's going to be SFW, depends on the workplace, I guess :p

Thanks for your hard work, you are the most detailed and anatomically correct animator I've come across :D! I love most of the new improvements on DVa. But if I were being completely honest, I have to say I think the 'Old' hair looks more polished and put together. I like the color of the new hair, but it looks like it is a mass of play-dough or something. Seemed like the old hair had more detail lines in it to create the effect of individual strands of hair. ...But for all I know I may have caught you in the middle of finishing out the detailing of the new hair, so sorry if that's the case! <3 as always.

I have no idea what you did exactly but I'm guessing you did a good job at it. The differences between old and new are clearly visible and improvements on every front. Looking forward to more WIPs :) Also, wouldn't it be a smarter idea for you to dub widowmaker miss December instead? Gives you more time to work with and a lot more breathing space for miss January
