I recently started playing Horizon Zero Dawn again to show my loved ones who haven't seen or played it yet. I'd forgotten how much I adore Aloy and this game. After the lackluster response my Megaera piece had gotten, I was feeling very self conscious about my art, particularly my construction. My wife recommended I start sketching traditionally again to practice. This was the first thing I sketched, and my wife loved it so much they told me to paint it! The response this piece has gotten on social media has blown me away and I'm now launching a series of pieces in a similar style to ride that wave.

Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn is owned by Guerrilla Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment.
