SAMURAI JACK Joins the OVERWATCH Team in This Fan Art Mash-Up

SAMURAI JACK Joins the OVERWATCH Team in This Fan Art Mash-Up

Heroes never die–and Samuari Jack is proof of that as he battles his way back from the brink of defeat in the season five series return. But one fan has hit the jackpot (pun intended) of fan art with this brilliant mash-up of Blizzard’s Overwatch in the style and world of Samurai Jack. Venezuelan artist Draw-It Ralph has created a pairing that’s exceptionally immersive, bringing some of the current 24 heroes out of their maps and into Jack’s harsh and futuristic world. Take a look through our gallery below for more of our favorite drawings by Draw-It Ralph.

Reaper-Widowmaker-Tracer

In season five, hide-and-seek is a fatal game that Jack’s more than used to–likewise, it’s a pretty useful strategy in certain maps of Overwatch. And like Jack’s new nimble companion Ashi, Tracer would definitely be a top team player in a tight spot against the shadowy Reaper and silent Widowmaker. Looks like the pair could use some healing, though–where’s a Mercy when you need her?!

In another of Draw-It Ralph’s drawings, it’s high noon and Jack’s back in an Old West salon–reminiscent of episode XXIX “The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful”–staring down the offensive bounty-hunter himself, McCree. Both claim to fight in the name of justice, but which one would be quick enough to defeat the other? Now that’s a Mexican standoff I’d pay to see!

McCree

Whether he’s mediating with Genji and Zenyatta or swinging through a bamboo forest with Winston, Jack’s the best and we’re all about this mash-up and would love to see more drawings with the rest of the heroes cleverly sharing some quality time with him–perhaps a cute dance party with D.Va? Which Overwatch hero would you like to see paired up with or against Jack? Share your picks in the comments below. And be sure to show the love by following Draw-It Ralph on Tumblr, Deviant Art, Twitter, and Facebook.
