I got a lot of nice comments in my last post so that encouraged me to draw up some other ideas I had! Ngl I went way overboard with this and I’m not entirely happy with it because of that but I figured since I put so much time in it I might as well post it. I took a lot of inspiration from Yuugiris backstory in Zombieland saga and Demon Slayer.
Considering that Mercy has probably the highest overall skin-quality in the game, it’s saying a lot that this doesn’t fall off in the slightest in comparison.
I love it. We need skins from different cultures in Overwatch besides the chinese ones we get every single year and this is a great one!
But personally, it always makes me a bit uncomfortable when skins (and note, Blizzard themselves is super guilty of it with the LNY skins) have heroes not of the culture not simply wearing ethnic garb, but also have their hair/eyes/makeup changed to look like that ethnicity. It feels rather yellowfacey to me.

This looks amazing, I would play mercy just to use the skin
I love everything about it except the tattoo.
this pleases my inner-weeb ^-^

This doesn’t look like mercy. It’s a good drawing though.
Dude omg we need this
Wrong post flair
Looks good though! Love the “staff”
Wow, outstanding. Hope somebody at the art department sees this.
Someone’s been watching too much Demon Slayer lol
I dig the idea of her in a Kimono / Yukata, but what’s putting me off on this design is how it relates back to the character Daki.
Daki was an Oiran, AKA a fancy prostitute.
Nothing against sex workers, but I think it reflects poorly on Mercy to dress up like an escort..
this is one of the grossest examples of cultural appropriation I’ve seen for a blizzard game since the Tauren. ouch
Maybe if she wasn’t dressed like an oiran/prostitute.
It’s pretty work, if a questionable theme.

Wow Amazing, I would buy it right now ❤️❤️❤️
>Mercy ~~kimono~~ prostitute skin.
FTFY. The obi should be tied at the back and the kimono actually on her.
