Greetings from Spain! 🙂 In real life, I’m a cat mom and I make a living as a 2D game designer and artist. In the virtual world, I’m a late fan of Horizon who is making up for the years in which I ignored the existence of the fandom with a current unhealthy obsession that takes up most of my free time. The blame for this condition lies in the captivating world of Horizon, the impressive story of Aloy, the chemistry I feel between her and Erend, and the wonderful people who make up this community. I love being part of a project like this, filled with amazing people with incredible talent. They’re such an inspiration.
Q&A
What is a favourite piece of work you’ve done (i.e. completed, working on, in concept), OR what is something you’ve always wanted to create for fandom?
My most consistent fan work has been the series of illustrations depicting Horizon characters as Greek gods, based on classical paintings. It’s an ongoing work in progress. Also, the Ereloy fanart I’ve enjoyed creating the most is based on the famous Klimt’s kiss.
What are some of your favourite tropes (to read, write, draw, etc)?
The subject I enjoy drawing the most is Aloy. In general, I love creating portraits and experimenting with different styles to push myself further (and because I can’t stick to just one style). Friends to lovers and angst with a happy ending are my reading obsession.
What is an unexpected thing or fun fact about you?
I’ve only been in the fandom for 7 months (this is the first one I’ve joined in my life), and I’ve created nearly 60 fanarts already. The brainrot has hit me real hard.
What has been your favourite thing about working on this project so far?
I think it’s incredible how we have such a great atmosphere and excellent organization among people from such different parts of the world. I’m experiencing with this project the proof that when you work on what you’re passionate about, everything turns out better.
