So - if it's not obvious - I'm hugely hyped for Horizon: Forbidden West. And some of the things I'm most looking forward to are all the new outfits.

I love that in the first game, all the outfits conformed to Aloy's standard design - keeping that iconic look. But I also love when characters get a fresh look for the sequel. Just to evoke that feeling of definitively being in a new part of the story.

So my goal here wasn't to overhaul or improve Aloy's design - but instead, just create a variation. I took some cues from the reveal trailer which showed some warm environments and the new swimming mechanic (also very excited for that), so went for a more light-weight look. Which I nervously applied to her hair as well. It's definitely a bold change - my logical brain kept saying that her classic hair is too iconic to change. But something about this just felt right - to me it somehow still feels like her.

Anyways - maybe the devs are waiting to reveal her secret redesign or maybe they've got something better in mind. All the same, this was a fun idea to play with.
