Key Takeaways
- Creative Overwatch 2 fans design custom skins for heroes lacking cosmetics like Venture.
- Artist kaechii shares 15 custom Venture skins with unique designs and interactions.
- Overwatch 2 faces the challenge of spreading out new skins across an ever-growing hero roster.
An extremely talented artist from the Overwatch 2 community recently shared a bunch of their own custom cosmetics for Venture, and they come with fitting sprays, player icons and namecards, weapon designs, and even hypothetical in-game interactions with other heroes depending on the skin. Creative fans of Overwatch 2 often have fun designing custom skins for their favorite heroes, particularly for many of the newer heroes that have come to Overwatch 2 over the past few years.
This is because many of Overwatch 2‘s newer heroes tend not to have much in the way of cosmetics – especially compared to the many heroes that have been a part of the team-based FPS since the beginning. Overwatch 2‘s nature as a live-service game means that new content has to come regularly, typically introducing a totally new hero every other season. Though almost every season also comes packed with new cosmetics, spreading out new skins across the ever-growing hero roster has proven somewhat challenging for the Overwatch 2 team.

An attentive Overwatch 2 player spots an interesting detail about Junkrat’s tire, sparking many theories within the Overwatch community.
With the frequency that heroes are introduced in the game nowadays, every new playable character in Overwatch 2 ends up with little time in the spotlight before the next one is introduced. This is especially apparent with Venture, who is infamous for receiving the short end of the stick when it comes to cosmetics and is remarkably still without any legendary skins even seven months after their debut. Thankfully, one artist known online as kaechii recently shared 15 Venture skins of their own design, including cosmetics based on sharks, pumpkins, and even Undertale‘s Sans. Venture fans should take a look through all of these fantastic designs themselves, each of which is complete with custom weapon designs, unique character interactions, and matching player icons.
Overwatch 2 Fans Should Take a Look at These Fanmade Venture Skins
To look at one example, though, the shark-themed “Fin-ture” skin concept even includes a neat quirk in which the skin’s fin will pop up through the ground while Venture is burrowing. The “Punk Rock” skin looks just like the name suggests, and being a skin themed around music, the designer made sure to include a couple of unique elimination interactions with other Overwatch 2 heroes, such as Lucio.
Overwatch 2‘s newest and 41st hero, Juno, was introduced earlier in the game’s 12th season. The game’s current Season 13 hasn’t introduced anyone new, but it has come packed with new cosmetics to collect and modes to play. This of course includes the limited-time Overwatch: Classic, which lets players relive the legendary experience of the original Overwatch by bringing back old maps and even hero abilities – the good ones, the bad ones, and the utterly broken ones.
