Hey everyone, I am working on a fan art of Brigitte. Right now I am working on the initial body shaping and I am trying to get an idea of how tall she is. I am guessing around 5’8" (172 cm) based on comparing her to Reinhardt in the appropriate scenes of the Honor and Glory animated short and from what I can get her to pose in the game.
I’d actually suspect her to be anywhere between 5’11" - 6’1".
Reinhardt is much shorter out of his armor than he is in the armor (The reference kits have him to be 7’4" within his armor so I’d peg him as being 6’11" or 7’0" out of the armor).
Brigitte seems to be about shoulder height so I’d suspect she’s around 5’11" out of armor & 6’1 or 6’3" while in her own armor.
I remember watching about a very early build of Overwatch and Jeff saying all the maps are scaled around Reaper, who’s an even 6’ for in game scaling.
You should be able to extrapolate everyone’s height from there via placing the character models in t-pose (with blender or whatever 3d modeling software you prefer) and using the pixel measurement method as seen on Game Theory on YouTube.
What if food scarcity from global warming has made for shorter people in the future? What if Reinhardt in his powered armor is only something like 4 feet tall? It’s basically a world of hobbits.
Thank you everyone who contributed to this discussion. Overall I think I established a decent body proportion and now on the way to developing a good sketch of her.
