[A-2-Z] Zarya - Overwatch + Conclusion (Patreon)

And that concludes the A-2-Z challenge. Thank you for coming for me on this journey. I know it's a flaccid way of ending it, but I am really happy that it's all over. I started this challenge last year in February. It was supposed to be started in January, but I got covid in that month. The reason why I decided to go off on this is because I want a taste of variety. I don't want to spend last year using the same old characters. This challenge itself gave me the excuse to explore what characters I wanted to use. There are some characters I like and some that I don't like. 

The main obstacle to this challenge was that you'll eventually find yourself making art of that character you have zero interest in. For example, the letter "Q' has only one character in it and that is Quiet from Metal Gear Solid. I do NOT want to make art of her. I have absolutely zero interest in her. She's a forced fan service character for lack of a better explanation.  That's why I asked Snoopz to lend me his Queen Nualia model. That I have an interest in her.

Another example is [REDACTED]. I have no interest in [REDACTED] but that's the only ever option for "U." How about another one such as Fiorayne; I did have some interest in that character.  However, I have no clue what I'm going to do with this model. That's where the second obstacle comes in. 

The second obstacle I faced was repetitiveness. I know you don't give a shit about me repeating the same pose over and over again. To me, this challenge exhausted my creative mindset. I made a couple of twerking videos almost a month apart. On one hand, you have Queen Nualia talking to you seductively while she claps her cheeks. On another hand, you have a short Sombra clip of her twerking. Manon and pharah are posed in the same doggy-style position. Juri Han and Leona are also posed in a cowgirl position. It's easy to do the same position for a handful of characters. Thankfully, the variety was there most of the time. 

If you are an artist and you have nothing else to do, try this challenge. You will be relieved and pat yourself on the back after you complete this monumental task. Would I take this challenge again? I don't think so. Let this accomplishment serve as a testament to the creative and enduring spirit. 

Good luck reading this wall of text. To all the patrons, VAs, sound editors, and modelers, thank you. 

TLDR - I came, I saw, I beat the living shit out of that challenge, I left
