Description
So happy to finally be able to share this! It's some early concept art of Aloy, the lead character of Horizon: Zero Dawn. I worked on this character together with the rest of the character team for a few months in 2013. It was a huge honor working with Guerrilla Games and their inspiring, talented team. I loved working on this character! These images can be seen in this neat featurette about Aloy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5Jnh… as well as in the artbook that comes with the collector's edition of the game!

Haven't played the game yet (curse you PlayStation exclusive!), but I've watched one of my favorite YouTubers do a 'lets play' and absolutely love the character design! Amazing work!

She looks much cuter than the aloy we ultimately ended up with.

I also saw this artwork in the Art of Horizon Zero Dawn. It was part of all the concept artworks for Aloy. I bought the Art of Horizon Zero Dawn after playing through much of the game itself recently. A very majestic and visual experience throughout so far in terms of the characters and colors.

your most welcome - I frequently purchase the Art of type books for video games because I like to see how the artists develop the look of the game and whatever else might be in the same books.

God. The art in this game is just beautiful and Aloy's character is just as beautiful.

Woah, looking so great, she looks quite younger like that, and she's lovely, love the center one, with this hairstyle and face she's cute but also feels combative !

Such an enviable plight—to be a fanartist who can no longer call their works "fanart" because they're now conceptual. To be the originator …

/Scrolling through art
"Oh, I really like this. I wonder what else they've done?"

"Ohhhhhhhh...."
Awesome stuff!

This was the piece who got me buying the artbook! Can't get better than your work! Respect!
I wish you a Merry Christmas!

What never ceases to fascinate me is how often I find how small the world truly is from an artistic standpoint at least. What I originally perceive to be fanart of something turns out instead to be actually concept work for something I'm well familiar with, such as the respectful game to which this piece belongs. The people who work on games and movies and things like that seem so distant to me, as most often I only receive the finished work (aka the dvd or the game), but then I happen to stumble across things like this. It may only be small and fleeting, but there's a certain ounce of true magic that happens during moments like that

Is there a way to order a print of this concept image of Aloy. I have the artbook but would really like a bigger print to frame. Thanks Loish I love your work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hey! unfortunately the rights of these sketches are with Sony so I can't sell prints of these drawings. Sorry about that and thanks so much for the compliments!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh didn't even think of that but of course they would be. Well have to see if I can get a good scan of them to make a large size or just frame what I have already. Actually I think your work is great. I loved and so did my oldest daughter the character Aloy. So I got everything I could for HZD and when I got the art book and seen your concepts it was just great. I was drawn to them that I immediately looked up your work and ordered your book. I wish I would have known about the kickstarter in-time to get one of your signed prints. But Im on board anyways. Thanks for all your work and keep it up. Hope you get to work more with Aloy as well.

SO happy to see who the artist to these images are! Looking through the art book minutes before first starting the game gave me such an intense feeling of euphoria, and the game is by far one of my new favorites. Thank you so much for helping make Aloy who she is!

I wish they didn't use the mullet for her character. The way you drew her hair was much better. Death to the mullet.

He didn't draw it, it's concept art.

I actually prefer your concept over theirs. I loved the current and final Aloy, but I actually prefer your Aloy's hair style, character shape, etc. You've always had a beautiful way of combining dreds with straight/curly hair and that's what separates your design from the current Aloy. I think she looks kinda typical for a ginger with dreds...but this...this is unique. <3
