“Humans hurt me too. I don’t need to be an omnic to know pain.”

I freaking suck at lighting and shading, but this was a fun challenge for me as an artist. 😭

Enjoy some Circe lore! Those nodes look unique, hmm….

Take a guess where this took place.

I’ve been away from this account for quite a while and I didn’t just want to leave it barren, so here’s some Wirefire doodles (thank you @rockmuncher3000 for the name idea lmao 😭). Some of these are pretty old (Circe try and post newer challenge level IMPOSSIBLE). Featuring @err0r-401’s OC Surge who is an UGLY OWL.

Can he stop yapping and just open his gift? 💀

I’m totally kidding. Happy fictional birthday to everyone’s favourite omnic revolutionary!

Amira Arabic Voicelines

Forgot to post this lol

Here are some voicelines I wrote for Amira in my mother tongue, Arabic. (Lebanese dialect, not formal).

I’ve actually never written/created an explicitly Lebanese/Arab character before. With a game as diverse as Overwatch, I was inspired to create what I guess was my own form of representation. (The only explicitly Lebanese character I’ve seen on screen in Western media is Janis Ian 💀 and I don’t even know if she counts or not).

I hope the sudden influx of Overwatch OCs I’m seeing inspires more people from lesser represented cultures to try their hand in a similar manner. 🥹💜✨

Stars - Pt. 1

I’ve been working on some lore-based comics for Amira as well as some that discuss her relationship with Ram, such as the one above. I’m excited to continue it, especially now that I have a bit more of an idea of Ram’s anatomy. Hope you like it so far!

some self indulgent human ramattras for my sanity

Ft. Amira hi Amira

Second image was done on magma which is why the quality is so terrible I love screenshots

Overheating - How Amira’s Body Interacts with its New Function.

So, to put it extremely basically, because of the experiments Amira’s body temperature and bio electricity levels have been raised, allowing her to expel flames from her hands.

However, the constant discharging of fire for an extended period of time can cause Amira’s body to overheat. So when Circe overuses her heated flames, it can be fatal.

Amira has vents installed in her upper arms and back in order to prevent overheating for as long as possible but, if Amira were to become extremely aggressive with her attacks or if she’s in an environment with high atmospheric heat, she’d begin to feel exhausted and find it hard to breathe at first, then her limbs would become weak and then, if she’s been firing for too long/been in the environment for too long, she’d ultimately combust and explode.

Yeah. Sorry, kid. No one said it’d be a pretty sight.

In-game, Amira has a metre showcasing how much she is able to fire hostilely for. If the player fires aggressively for too long, they begin to take damage. Imagine a Pharah shooting herself constantly. While Amira isn’t shooting at herself, she’s overheating and thus damaging herself for as long she fires over the metre - the same amount of damage an enemy would take if hit directly by one of Amira’s flames. If the player fires while over the metre for too long, she dies. If the player chooses to stop firing after breaching the metre, they cannot fire until the metre has been completely drained once again.

(Not a final version)

This is a vague concept of what it’d look like in game, so forgive me for how messy it is. (Also please ignore how dainty her hands are in the first pic I gave up on drawing and just traced my own 😭)

Minor trivia about Overheating:

- Both in game and in lore, Amira can only overheat if she’s attacking since her healing fire is a low-temperature flame. Either slightly cold or warm.

- Overheating doesn’t actually cause Amira to sweat at all. She actually sweats very little. She has the vents to cool her off, and the sweat evaporates from the heat before it can breach the surface of her skin.

- In-game, I imagine Amira having an animation for cooling down after overheating. She shakes/flaps her hands in order to fan them off. She also has little voicelines for when she’s doing this!

Thank you for reading and thank you to @toadsquickdraws for the inspiration on this format! Check out their character Cyrus, another really fascinating and unique Overwatch fan creation!

“I am born again from fire.”

The above quote is Amira’s ultimate voiceline! (Self and hostile voiceline is the same thing, but in Arabic: “.أنا وُلِدت من جديد من نار”

Random definitely not at all related fun fact: Lebanon, where Circe is from, was originally known as Phoenicia.

Circe’s abilities are intense, so I hope I could portray that in this piece.

I’m really bummed about not being able to work on comics due to my stylus being non-functional sooooo have some really old and shoddily done Ramattra and Amira doodles!

Yeaaaaah this was done long before I understood Ramattra’s anatomy. Look at me using that excuse for the millionth time since I started this blog. Hate this dumb British robot so much smh.

Promise I’ll continue working on stars as soon as I get my pen replaced. With actual good art. TvT

did u guys know i am funny too……. ME NEITHER

twitter oomfs i mostly post OC content on here i hope u vibe with doomed narratives and the sacrifice of morality in order to survive bc that’s basically amira

[shwbyy]

They’re a fun pair

Also I wanted to include more of Amira’s culture because if Blizzard doesn’t wanna give me my middle eastern character I’m gonna do it myself /j

Translation:

لا ولو: “!Come on”

(Casual/Slang Arabic, Lebanese dialect) ;)

big beautiful smile

(little warm up doodle i did today :D)

Do you get the joke because firearms firearms like no firearms and Circe she shoots fire from her hands from her arms cause Circe has fire hands Circe has firearms firearms do you get the joke she’s nervous pretending to be nervous because firearms fire hands firearms Circe firearms

Testing out a new, less tame hairstyle for Amira. I think I’ve kind of nailed the thick, wavy and bushy look I was going for. Hoping to continue to improve.

So I caved

I made an overwatch oc

Her name’s Amira and she has ouchie fire and mmm healy fire.

The last image was an early concept before I leaned towards a more scientific approach to her abilities.

I can lore dump when I’m not feeling the effects of downing a whole bottle of carbonated beverages
