A couple doodle pages to celebrate the Overwatch 2 launch, featuring some Junkers, some OCs, some OC x Canon content... more info below! These were all made in the last 24 hours, by the way. No idea what's gotten into me.
The first two slides are of my OW OC Spark, with me trying to figure out what her OW2 redesign should look like; also featuring Junkrat, because I have been shipping these two for the longest time and I care them lots~
Now; following that, I bring you a design for maskless Roadhog~ I have been stuck with this one for the last 5 years or so and I still quite like it. Also, as far as I am concerned, the hair stays long. Perfectly okay if you like the redesign! But I prefer the ponytail 💗
Next up! The two AU scenarios for Junkrat that me and my bestie @sinbrook have been working on; 'Prof' is basically a version of Junkrat that got to grow up in a safe environment & became a scientist instead of pursuing engineering. He is quite fond of reptiles~
'Bendi' is the Talon version of 'Prof', more or less. He has been raised by Talon executives, to become one of their own. The nickname Bendi comes from his habit to lounge dramatically in the most unlikely and uncomfortable places. He's a bendy boy. Yanno?
Last but not least! The little portrait at the bottom is of Inanga; me and Brooke have decided Roadhog needed more angst in his life, so why not give him a kid??
Inanga did not survive the Omnium explosion in the canon timeline, but I like to sometimes imagine he was saved, picked up by a family, and raised in a safe place. This is basically what he would look like if he HAD had the chance to actually grow up.

I can't sleep.
I think something is about to happen. Something really wrong. I can't explain it to myself, but I just know it. Deep in my guts, I know it.
I feel like every step we take brings us closer to the end, somehow.
We're about a day away from Alcura. We've mostly met passive creatures, the kind that run away when they see you. Sometimes they stare, long enough to give you the creeps.
There's always one that stares for too long. One that makes you feel like you're their prey, their object of curiosity. You never know how they think, you just know they stare. You see their eyes, so big, so dead, and you could swear there's something behind those fucking eyes.
Ava doesn't say anything. Me neither. We haven't talked in...I think we haven't talked in a week, at least. Sometimes shit go wild between us.
It's back. Staring again. Fuck, that thing is seriously creeping the fuck out of me. Ava is sleeping. Usually she would stare back until it would leave.
I can't do that. I'm not superstitious, I know Ava always says I am, I'm not, but you know what they say about those who stare back? They always get snapped from the sides. So busy looking straight into the dead eyes in front of them, they get too caught up in the moment and forget to watch their sides. That's how Big Grum got torn to shred.
I'll keep a side-eye on that thing. I feel like it's been following us, but I'm not sure. But it's been days and I can't sleep. I can't fucking sleep because whenever I close my eyes I feel my heart...I fucking feel that... that presence.
Mami used to tell us that if we feel a presence, we must keep our eyes open, because if we close our eyes, they'll be right there when we open them again.
Right here, in front of us, staring and grinning.
I should really shut up. Writing these things only makes me feel worse. There's no way I'll be sleeping tonight. No fucking way.
I just hope we can reach Alcura tomorrow. I don't feel like being outside with Dead Eyes any longer.

Extract from Todd's Journal. - Dead Eyes.
_
Notes from transcriber:
The extract was entitled "Dead Eyes" as a reference to the nickname given to the creature observed by Todd and Ava on their first trip to Alcura. The emphasis on the eyes of the creature became the focus of scholars curiosity, as well as an object of controversies. Dead Eyes has indeed been suspected of being █ █████████ ███████████ ████ ████ ██ ████████ █████ ██ █████████ ████ ███ ███'█ ██████████. (What's Behind The Eyes?, 150-163) ███████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██████ ██████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████, ███ ███ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ██████████. (Archives of Security Register)
Dead Eyes became a recurring image in Todd's journal, and could be found from page 25 to 53, a section of the journal which corresponded to their second trip to Alcura. It also marked the disappearance of Dead Eyes's physical presence - though one can argue that Dead Eyes remained omnipresent in Todd's retelling of their travels, as defended by Elina Baker in Dead Eyes: The Haunting of A Presence (Baker, 23)
Todd often wrote about local beliefs and superstitions, as well as myths and stories he (and Ava) grew up with. The story of Big Grum - accessible on the online version of ARKives (ARKives, Formative Tales) - is what scholars commonly define as a "formative tale" for children, providing them with "life lessons and warnings related to the real life conditions and habits of [their] natal village[s]". (Dictiocon Online)
Todd briefly mentioned an altercation between Ava and himself. He gave no details whatsoever on the matter, but did say that "Sometimes shit go wild between [them]," proving the reccuring arguments they would have while travelling. In another extract entitled Home, Todd wrote about a violent altercation which led both parties to not talk to each other for more than three weeks. He also confided in his journal of this fight being "the worst [they] ever had" and explained how "miserable" it made him feel. (Home, 84)
