#cowloy

“ There’s Kotallo…wonder what he’s looking at?”

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.😌🫶
