Ashe, the gunslinging Overwatch protagonist who’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, became an instant hit with fans upon her addition to the game. Although overshadowed by characters like D.Va and Tracer, some fans saw Ashe’s potential, and, inspired by her Old-West-themed design style, decided to make some fan art of her character.
The results? Well, suffice to say they more than speak for themselves. And, since these artists have given fans the ability to view their work for free, for those who like the art, be sure to check out their social media profiles at the provided links to support them.
10 Bach Do
This piece of fan art, titled “Reunion,” was created by Vietnamese artist Bach Do, who is known for his work as a concept artist on the popular web series Gen:LOCK.
The artwork shows B.O.B. and Ashe fighting an unknown foe. The lighting is spectacular and highlights intricacies of each character’s base designs; the line art, meanwhile, does its part in holding the whole thing together.
9 Iury Padilha
Artist Iury Padilha is known for giving his fans fresh takes on popular characters through superb fan art, and this Ashe piece is a perfect example of that.
The design is awesome, and the line art does its job perfectly. The colors are creative without being too flashy, and the lighting is just right to help the drawing give off Ashe’s well-known “Western” vibe.
8 Liang-Xing
Artist Liang-Xing has plenty of Ashe fan art, but this piece is perhaps the best. The costume is handled perfectly, and despite it having a fairly complicated design, the artist understands its quirks and complexities on a 3-dimensional scale and is thus able to adapt it to the page without a hint of worry.
Ashe herself is drawn with the kind of confident, affirming pose that is to be expected of her character. Meanwhile, the picturesque background is a nice touch, as it creates a complimentary atmosphere for Ashe’s character to be in.
7 Doha Studio
Freelance artist Doha Studio perfectly captures Ashe’s personality with this beautiful piece of fan art that shows the character keeping a self-assured pose while adjusting her hat in the midst of a mild sandstorm. Apparently, she’s just so used to the environment that stuff like that doesn’t faze her anymore.
The fan art is incredible, the design is perfect, and the unique art style allows the artist to capture Ashe’s primary physical characteristics while still creating something new and unique.
6 Alex-chow
In creating their unique piece of Ashe fan art, digital illustrator Alex Chow gave her character a unique art style similar to that of the Western-themed Red Dead Redemption games.
It works surprisingly well for her character, as does the bright pink aesthetic design and the creative use of light and dark shading. One thing’s for sure – this piece is as original as they come.
5 Crispinity
Artist Crispinity used their talents to create this awesome fan art of Ashe, which shows the character biting a wheat stock like a true cowgirl.
The design is awesome, but the realistic shading makes it even better; the bright, bold colors (like Ashe’s red eyes and white hair) contrast beautifully, creating a stunning visual effect.
4 Sciamano240
Popular Italy-based internet artist Sciamano240 created this incredible piece of Ashe fan art, showing the character at a Western-themed bar where B.O.B. is serving drinks. The Western motif works super well here, largely because of the artist’s skill in terms of background design.
Ashe herself is drawn perfectly, and her relaxed poise and impatient attitude speak volumes about her personality. In terms of colors and shading, both are done extremely well and with loads of detail – they give the character a bit of stylish flair.
3 Zeronis
Digital Artist Zeronis (AKA Paul Kwon) is a Senior Concept Artist at Riot Games, best known for his work on the hit video game League of Legends.
The same design aesthetic he used there is definitely present in this breathtaking Ashe fan art, which perfectly converts the character’s awesome design into his own detail-oriented art style, complete with vibrant colors and gorgeous shading.
2 Zumidraws
Artist Zumidraws nails Ashe’s detailed design with this awe-inspiring piece of fan art. This drawing gets every little bit right, from her armor accessories to her gold-plated rifle.
Ashe’s bold, self-assured expression shows she’s not afraid to start a fight, and the creative but practical use of colors and shading gives her a truly striking look. Ashe’s Viper weapon also looks great, as does her perfectly recreated outfit and the complementary background.
1 Bir Kai
Digital artist Bir Kai’s awesome piece of Ashe fan art keeps her detailed look but takes it to the next level with some truly inspired design choices. This tribute gives the character a vibrant, animated visual style that is as strikingly presented as it is beautifully composed.
Colors are key here; from perfecting the design of her unique costume to bringing out her gorgeous candy-apple-red eyes, the bold shading and creative lighting work together to create a whole new look for Ashe.
