I've gotta admit, I'm amazed.

I'm one of those people who immediately folds the second Sanrio announced a collaboration with a game. I can't help it. I've loved Hello Kitty and her friends since I was a child, and now the Sanrio crew has grown in popularity over the last few years, I feel absolutely elated at the sheer number of games they've found their way into. Most recently though, Overwatch has received an absolutely immense Sanrio collaboration, featuring six Sanrio character-themed skins for six different champions.
Welcome to Character Select, a weekly column where PC Gamer takes a look at the art and cosplay created by you. Each week, I'll highlight a few of my favourite pieces, spotlight and interview creators and artists, or generally just chew your ear off about the talents of the gaming community.
Spotlighting Juno as Hello Kitty, Widowmaker as Kuromi, D.Va as My Melody, Lucio as Keroppi, Kiriko as Cinnamoroll, and Mercy as my favourite character PomPomPurin, there was no way I could possibly let this collaboration pass me by. So, there I was, notoriously terrible at Overwatch but ready to give it a good go, with the most adorable skin set in tow, the very second they launched. But, what I've found even more impressive than the speed in which I acquired the skins, it's the sheer speed that people have already started cosplaying them.

Similarly, Tiktok user enyaarwyen opted to cosplay the same character, but added some unique touches such as a fluffy cat-eared hat rather than the white cat-eared beanie Juno seems to be wearing in the game. This is something I particularly love when a fanbase work on cosplays so quickly after characters, or skins are announced, too—the way people are so fast to work with what they've got.
The Sanrio x Overwatch skins aren't particularly complex either, and rather than being plastered with prints of the Sanrio character they are dressing as they're more realistic outfits, making it that little bit easier to use what you've got in your wardrobe already. With that said, there are probably a few details that do make bringing these characters to life a little more challenging which I don't know about.
The ear headband is what pulls the cosplay together though, making it obvious that rather than just being Widowmaker in general, they've ...Read more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
