Originally we had planned on having our big Overwatch costumes done for PAX South 2017, but that was quickly shown as impossible (mainly due to Josh having to work long hours around that time). Fenix still wanted to wear something Overwatch-themed, however, so they made this casual Mercy outfit. They sewed everything themselves, even the bag! Witch Mercy:
Originally Fenix was planning on making the Valkyrie skin for Mercy, but then the Halloween event hit and they decided, "Nope, that one." What followed was 7 months of sewing, leatherwork, painting, fabricating, cursing, crying, gluing, burning, and, eventually, looking fabulous. Witch Mercy (Pool Party):
For the Overwatch pool party at Dragon Con, Fenix decided to stick with the Witch Mercy theme (mainly so they could re-use the hat). They made the swimsuit top themself, dyed the fabric to make the sarong, and repainted a water pistol to look like Witch Mercy's gun. Then they added witchy/beachy shoes, and cat-eye sunglasses to finish off the look. Cheerleader Mercy:
When we were planning on doing Varsity versions of Hawkman and Hawkgirl Fenix made a cheerleader outfit for Hawkgirl. They were so pleased with how it came out that they also made one for Mercy. After wearing Witch Mercy for a few hours at Dragon Con (which was fun for a bit but also miserable b/c of the crowds), they decided to put on Cheerleader Mercy instead for maximal comfort. Sugar Plum Mercy:
After Witch Mercy Fenix said, "No more wings! Josh, tell me no if I ever want to do wings again." Then Sugar Plum Mercy dropped and it was an elven/fairy version of Mercy. Knowing Josh would say no, Fenix began working on it in secret. While the build didn't go perfectly, it was still very pretty. Also, Fenix said to remind them not to do wings again. Instead of doing screen accurate wings for this build, Fenix instead came up with a way of doing more traditional fairy wings which were both lighter and more comfortable.
