StrawbElla’s horizon

Just drawing my favorite Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West characters!

Hello! Are you currently doing doodle requests? Just curious.

Hi! :) I’m a little busy at the moment, but after this Saturday I’ll finally have some time to doodle again — so feel free to send in your request!😌💖

[strawbella28]

Not really an ask just hope you’re doing well🫶

Awwww! How kind of you!☺️💖

I am doing well, thank you! I haven't drawn anything in a while, so my Tumblr has been a bit quiet. I might take it up again in August if time permits me.🤗

I hope you’re doing well, too!🫶🌸

Red Teeth

It’s Nil!💃💖

Varl

I think I gave him more justice than the last time.😌💃💖 The colors are a bit off because of the lighting, but I think he turned out nicely!🤭

Aloy

I've gone without drawing her for long enough, so here she is. 🤭💖

Gildun🤗💖

It took me a couple of tries to get his chin and jawline right, but I'm happy with the end product! Onto the next challenge!💖🫶

Kotallo🩵🤍

Well, I'm hooked. I can't stop drawing.🫠🤭

Dekka❤️💙

I was feeling pretty inspired today, so I drew Dekka.🤭 I would’ve loved to see more of her in Forbidden West and am crossing my fingers for her return in the next game.🫠💖 I’d like to hear your thoughts about the colored pencils. I LOVE them!😆😌

Surprise, surprise! I used colored pencils on one of my Horizon drawings for the first time!🤗🤭💖 I think I’ll be using them more often now. I already have another colorful drawing finished and ready to post.🫠 I thank Penttoh’s colorful face paint that forced me to use something else and not just a pencil.🙌

Highland Sisters

I am finally home and was able to finish the request for @kiddraws12.🫶💖 I had never thought about drawing Aloy as an animal before this, but I enjoyed it even more than I assumed I would! My favorite part was thinking about what details I could include that would make people recognize Aloy. I especially loved it since I got to see some details from the game I had never paid much attention to.

Before I write about those, I have to address the elephant in the room, or should I say the “cow.”🙈 Yes, there are two cows. I couldn't resist drawing both Aloy and Beta, mainly after finding a cute photograph of two Highland cows hanging out in a field.🫠☺️

Now, to talk about some of the details. The first and most obvious one is the hair. Both cows have hairstyles the sisters are well-known for. In Aloy’s (Cowloy’s) hair, I also included the beads and braids.✨ I wasn’t sure about the “outfit” since it would fit weirdly on an animal, so I decided to include just the necklaces and some smaller armor pieces from her original Nora boots.👞 The detail I am most proud of is her horns! If you look closely, you will see markings on them. Those are symbols of the Nora tribe. If I may be a tad biased, I was quite proud of coming up with that concept.😌🫶

And now that I'm done rambling, thank you for this request! It got me out of my comfort zone, which I enjoyed a lot! I’d love to hear your thoughts and I hope you like it!💖🤗

Hello, I saw you have requests open and I was wondering if you could draw Highland Cow Aloy. Thank You and Love all the details in your art ❤️

Hi, that's a cool idea!✨💖 I've never drawn a human-animal hybrid, so this will be quite a challenge. It's a good thing I like those.😌

I'm currently on holiday in England. However, I have my drawing equipment (aka pencil sharpeners, pencils, and rubbers🙈) with me. I'll try to start drawing as soon as possible. I have some other requests from Instagram as well, but since the machine drawings will take much longer, and I won't have much time for those before getting back home, I can probably start with your request.🫶

I'm honored you like the details in my art! You're such an amazing artist and each compliment from you means so much!💖🥹☺️

Thank you for the request. It's the first one l've gotten here on Tumblr. I'm very excited to start working on it!💃🤗

Goodbye, Hollywood…

This drawing was quite a challenge. I’m glad I didn't give up on it. 😌💪💖

Like The Thunder

I have been working on this piece for a while, and I can proudly say it's now finished. I was really busy these past couple of weeks and finally caught a break today, so I was able to draw. 💙

The Bulger

Someone on my Instagram suggested I design a new machine similar to the ones from the Horizon series. They also mentioned wanting to see a praying mantis machine in the third game, and now I present to you: The Bulger! (The name can be changed lol! 🙈) It was a really fun experience trying out something different for a change. I’d love to hear what you think! Any other machine ideas you’d like to see in Horizon 3? ✨💖

[strawbella28]

Not really a question but hope you are well❤️

That’s so sweet of you! 🥹 I am well, thank you. I've been a bit busy these few couple of weeks and haven't been able to draw as much. I'm currently working on a Thunderjaw, and it’s taking a bit more time than the previous machines did. Anyway, I hope you are well too! You've made my day. ☺️🫠💖

A moment of silence for Sylens…
