Jeremy is a freelance illustrator based in Sydney. Looking through his work is kind of like taking a trip through "Bladerunner” if it was set in feudal Japan. His work encompasses everything from cyberpunk and 80s pop culture to anime and skateboarding references making for mechasoul Geishas done in neon tones, Sexy demon androids, and 80s sunsets.
Jeremy's comment: "As a massive Horizon Zero Dawn fan, I really wanted this illustration to reflect the super fluid and dynamic nature of the gameplay. I immediately decided to show Aloy mid combat in a dynamic action pose. There are a bunch of really fun weapon types in Horizon but my favourite isby far is the war bow as it feels really smooth in game but also makes for really interesting tension in poses as Aloy draws and aims the bow. I love working with lights and neons. These fit perfectly with the machinery aspect of Horizon Zero Dawn and always add a strong sense of volume and drama to any piece. Making the light source come from something in the piece is also a really good tip for linking the main character to the scene they're in. So I decided at the last minute to add a few of those iconic watchers in the background that would create the red light you see on Aloy's right side. This also allowed me to finish off the illustration by adding a tiny reference to Forbidden West with the red vines of the blight. I really loved working on this piece and I'm super happy with how it turned out so I hope you enjoy it too!Big thanks to the PS and Guerilla teams for the project!"

JESWRI's comment: "I really enjoyed the opportunity to draw Aloy. I spent hours locked into her character and finessing her new DDE outfit. I feel like she captures the fighting spirit. She embodies the warrior we wanna be or the best friend we all wanna have. I felt like if it was the right conditions, I'd like to trade places with her, hunting machines and find clues. I feel like I'm alot like her in that we both have killer drive. I brought all that into the artwork and gave her new DDE gear some of my warrior flare which I draw from different places, like tattoos, comics and my Aboriginal heritage. All in all, she was very difficult to draw and convey - but worth the time spent."

Raveee's comment: "I am extremely grateful and honored that I was invited to illustrate Aloy in my style together with other prominent illustrators in the region. Drawing Aloy for this project is challenging, fun and it's not everyday I get to draw someone who is charming, mature, strong and intelligent character like Aloy. I have followed Aloy's story since Horizon Zero Dawn and I am looking forward to know more about her adventure in the Forbidden West."

Little Thunder's comment: “I love drawing strong girls. I'm enheartened when I see the confident, unhesitating look in Aloy's eyes while she is shooting arrows, and I'd love to be able to express that in the drawing. Having played the first Horizon game, I was amazed by the story structure and worldview of the game. After watching trailers of “Horizon Forbidden West”, it let me to believe the uniqueness of the game (e.g.: character design, equipment, scenery, sophisticated and complex movement) will reach a new level and I can't wait to play the game!”
