"Why am I an outcast?"

Happy anniversary of the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster!
After the piece focusing on Aloy's relationship to Elisabet, I thought it only fitting to give Rost the stage this time.

#beyondthehorizon #aloy #rost #horizonzerodawnremastered #art
Rost and a young Aloy standing together. Aloy has a fresh wound on her forehead from the rock Bast throws at her, blood running down her face and dripping off her chin. Her expression is silent rage at the repeated injustices inflicted upon her due to being "motherless". She has her fist clenched, blood and squashed berries dripping off and onto the ground, where her blood causes fresh grass to grow. In fact, the green grass has grown on her trail, a green footprint not far behind her, expressing her role in giving new life to Earth. Rost stands behind her, sad and sullen at Aloy's state. He reaches out to her, but his hand is hesitant to actually touch her. In his other hand, he holds the necklace that originally belonged to his own daughter. A tree behind both of them is showing all stages leaves go through the year, with the withered, fiery orange stages of autumn around Rost. White branches emerge from his back, vaguely resembling an open ribcage. There's blood on the branches. The background is the mountain range with a newly risen sun, the very same that Rost spoke Aloy's name to.

Those magical early hours and you're already ignoring the main quest ✨️

I find a lot of comfort in RPGs at the moment. Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, they're bringing Final Fantasy Tactics to modern consoles...

Do you have some fond memories with RPGs?

A fake main menu screen resembling those of many old school role-playing games like Final Fantasy, but applied to Horizon. Aloy and Erend are the current party members, drawn in a chibi style. The background is a rough paint version of the main menu screen in Horizon Forbidden West.

🕯THE CLAIM🕯
Mister McCaw, give it to me

I've been waiting for the Claim to be a setting since HZD, especially since I learned in the reddit AMA that they had planned to have it in HZD but scrapped it.

She will walk it off, no worries.

Who remembers this iconic frame from a certain 90s anime?

#beyondthehorizon #horizonzerodawnremastered #horizonforbiddenwest #talanah #talanahkhanepadish #art
Talanah from the Horizon game series lies beaten in a crater in a direct homage to the iconic Yamcha Pose from Dragonball. Smoke is wafting off of her, a small flame burning at the very tip of her ponytail. Parts of her armour lie around her, as well as a smouldering and sparking disc from a Thunderjaw's Disc Launcher.

"Are you my mother?"

#Aloy #BeyondTheHorizon #HorizonZeroDawnRemastered #art
Aloy from the Horizon franchise, spear in one hand and reaching towards the Focus on her temple with the other, stands in green grass before the silhouette of Elisabet Sobeck, reminiscent of a deep blue sky. Aloy is "growing" out of Elisabet, it seems. While Aloy's gaze is firm and determined, looking off into the distance, Elisabet's is sorrowful and cast down. Within Elisabet's silhouette, the outline of the triangular gene-locked door, behind which the answers to Aloy's questions lie, is faintly visible.

Wishful thinking for Horizon 3 and the hints we were sent off with at the end of Burning Shores.

Reunion on the Hunter's Lodge balcony~

#Talanah #HorizonForbiddenWest #art
Talanah from the Horizon series, standing on the balcony of the Hunter's Lodge in Meridian, the vista of the Jewel at sunset behind her. Her hair is down and blowing in the wind as she turns around to the viewer (Aloy), having to gather her hair on one side to keep it away from her face. Her smile is beaming, with the light of an active Focus shining on her temple with holograms in front of her. She's been training with the device that Erend gave her since his departure note in Hidden Ember told Aloy he'd bring Focuses to Aloy's friends back in the East.

Erend from the Horizon series, posing for a mugshot with a smug face. It's a redraw of the "Barbie and Ken Mugshot" meme that was popular in 2023, Erend being in Barbie's position. The chalkboard he's holding reads his name, "BLG" for Barren Light Guard, the number "149-07" standing for the length of the audio file "Last Girls on Earth", the song he always listens to at the Base, the number of the datapoint "Final Performance" which contains said song, and Barren Light. Aloy from the Horizon series, posing for a mugshot with a smug face. A progression from the other mugshot set where she was still confused at her first tussle with law enforcement. It's a redraw of the "Barbie and Ken Mugshot" meme that was popular in 2023, Aloy being in Ken's position. The chalkboard she's holding reads her name, "BLG" for Barren Light Guard, the number "451-00" as a nod to her Lightkeeper designation and Barren Light.

🌿Her #1 fan 🌿

I did the redraw meme of that Madison Beer concert that was crazy popular earlier this year, too. These two were made for it 🙏

#HorizonForbiddenWest #Zo #Varl #Zotober #art
Zo and Varl from the Horizon game series in a redraw of the "Fan screaming at Madison Beer Performance" meme. Zo is sitting on the edge of the stage, in a white Utaru dress decoracted with bright red flower petals, looking down towards her fans with a soft knowing smile as she sings. Varl's face is in the upper left corner as a selfie, in an extreme close-up shot, tears of joy pouring down his cheeks, stray red flower petals stuck in his hair.

Aloy and Seyka from the Horizon game series, back to back, battle ready with their spear and sword drawn. From behind them, two arcs emerge. One is made of lava, while the other is an ocean wave. The sea foam on top of the wave can also be seen as white clouds on a blue sky, reminiscent of the sky and sea theme of Burning Shores, while the lava stands for the volcanic activity covering LA. Sun-King Avad and Ersa from the Horizon game series, sharing a private moment. Avad is reclining on a Carja lounge, taken by surprise by Ersa's assertiveness, Ersa nearly sitting in his lap. Her face is inches from his, one hand holding his collar to tug him closer, while the other is causally draped over Avad's shoulder, holding his crown that she took off. Avad is reaching around Ersa, just moments from embracing her fully. Erend and Aloy from the Horizon game series, sharing a passionate kiss at night while a campfire behind them illuminates their silhouette, literal sparks flying. Erend is gently cupping Aloy's face, some strands of her hair tangled between his fingers. In the night sky above, an aurora borealis is shimmering purple, pink, and blue, the colors of the bisexual pride flag. Erend, Aloy, Aldur, and Joruf from the Horizon game series. They're at the melee pit of Chainscrape, spectating Erend, whose currently participating in a match. The two Vanguard men are whooping and cheering, while Aloy looks on with a proud smile, a soft blush coloring her cheeks. Erend gives his offscreen opponent a cocky smirk, wiping his face with his shirt, revealing a fair amount of bare skin. It's left to the viewers' interpretation whether Erend is already aware of Aloy's presence and showing off, or whether he has yet to notice her and Aloy gets to observe him confident and in his element in secret a little while longer.

Switching from two years of nearly exclusively drawing Horizon to Octopath Traveler taking over all my creative faculties has been so nice
Getting used to drawing the new friends more

And bless the Octopals for dressing more like normal people (wip)

Didn't forget about the Bluesky crowd.
Happy Holidays to you too!

Aloy is sitting atop an overridden Bristleback machine, decorated for the Holidays, a bag of presents in the back. Aloy is wearing the Carja Trader armor, with its red-gold-white color scheme a nice Santa Claus outfit. She pats the machine affectionately. Next to the Bristleback stands Erend with a Christmas hat, smiling. He helped to decorate and load the machine.

I realize I never broke in this account. Let's change that~

Inspired by a compilation of Erend's HFW voice lines.
#horizonforbiddenwest #ereloy #aloy #erend
Erend looks down to a bleeding cut on his upper arm, the sleeve rolled up and glove removed, letting out a disapproving hiss. In the next panel, he's looking to the side with a smile, asking, "At least women like scars, right?" to an offscreen Aloy as the cut bleeds heavier, blood dripping off his arm. There's a hint of an Oseram tattoo visible where his sleeve is rolled up. Aloy, visibly annoyed yet blushing profusely at the bared arm of Erend, unrolls a clean bandage and pulls it taut with an audible snap like a whip. She replies: "Erend. You're bleeding. A LOT." She can't decide whether to be mad, flustered or concerned. So she's all of the above.
