If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know of the older version of this, my Animated Harem Tracer which was drawn by the incomparable @blushmallet. The inspiration for these came from an artist that I came across a few days back named “Elapuse” who did this incredible piece of Tracer: Love by Elapuse at Society6. I saw it and just fell in love with it instantly. And wanted to add something like that into the Tracer pic that was done for me in honor of Pride Month. So, my first attempt was to recreate the jets and the rainbow streams. Making the streams look like smoke was a little tricky. I essentially had to go in with my smudge tool and make it look like it’s billowing out from behind the jets.
But then after I was done with it, I realized that the jets were missing the blue from the LGBTQ+ flag. And I can understand why, after all, blue against a blue sky…it would disappear pretty easily. Plus, six colors would make things uneven as far as a flying-V pattern formation. So, with that in mind, I went with something else. I went back to the other background I had done for Tracer and found the Overwatch logo. And I thought, “Hey, there’s an idea. I’ll overlay the pride flag into the Overwatch logo.” So, a little creative selection and cutting I made the Pride flag in the shape of the Overwatch logo.
And then, when I was just about done, I remembered looking at her tag on her collar and thought, “Why not throw the rainbow onto that?” To which I answered, “Why not indeed?” And went ahead with it.
It doesn’t matter who you love or how you see yourself. Find your happiness.
Thanks again, @blushmallet for your marvelous work.
