Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 1/5.

I wanted to do a summary of my headshots (not including tallnecks, which had their own compilation already) coz I think they look pretty good en masse. One or two machines are technically missing from my collection (grimhorn and specter prime) but neither are available to snap post-game (and I'm not yet mentally prepared for playthrough #4). Hopefully you'll forgive me.

Anyway, here we go. These are in no particular order, but I did pair them up according to some strange connections my brain made.

Skydrifter - Leaplasher (team irksome)

Redeye watcher - Clawstrider (team sunset)

Sunwing - Waterwing (team flappy bird)

Plowhorn - Clamberjaw (team redwood)

Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 3/5.

Behemoth - Shellsnapper (team HENCH)

Slaughterspine - Thunderjaw (team Very Large Theropod)

Ravager - Glinthawk (team worst-machines-to-fight-in-HZD-but-no-longer-much-of-a-problem)

Rollerback - Slitherfang (team hyper-mobility)

Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 4/5.

It's getting increasingly difficult to name these teams, but I've started so I'll finish.

Corruptor - Horus (team Faro)

Charger - Stormbird (team Kes' personal fave mount/combat machines)

Specter - Shell walker (team scuttle)

Fireclaw - Frostclaw (team GRRRR)

Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 5/5.

This is team ragtag. The plucky misfits of the project.

It's not that I didn't try to capture 8x10s of them, it's just that I liked these so much more than all my other attempts. The menace of the snapmaw, the motion of the spikesnout, the colour of the sky behind the bristleback... I just couldn't quite recreate any of it. Maybe I just got too attached?

Either way, I'm not changing them now.

Bristleback

Snapmaw

Spikesnout

I turned them into a poster!

I had a small stress while trying to fit in team ragtag, but I think that the odd shapes work ok down there at the bottom. They're not too intrusive, at least.

It was only at the very end that I realised that I'd left out the tallnecks. After some cursing, however, and in the interests of not having to redo EVERYTHING, I dug out an old scenery shot to use as a background so there's at least one tallneck in there. I think it works.

I'd quite like to get this printed for the wall of my home office/geek room (it functions as both), but I feel I should raise the pics up a bit and insert some text at the bottom. Preferably something irreverent.
