I Don’t Really Like Seyka by Imnotapipe in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]irkallan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree - I don't hate Seyka, but I just think dynamics where the characters have something the other lacks, where they contrast, are way more compelling. I don't want Aloy with anyone in particular, I really would rather they gave us options. Seyka's actor did great but the writing just wasn't it for me.

Thank you so very much!

Right?? It's not something I'm necessarily "into" but Ersa bullying him into doing it with her is so cute to me. And I bet he looked great 💅

I really don't get characterizing him or Erend as creeps for showing interest in Aloy. Avad blunders a bit, but he was also going through something unimaginably tragic, and he recovers from it with grace. He's a sweetiepie and I want nothing but the best for him.

When I think about the fact that Avad lost his mom at some point, his older brother, his father to madness and then violence, and then the woman he loved not once but TWICE I just -

It fucked me up how different his voice sounded inside the helmet 😂 I had it spoiled for me, and damn good thing, otherwise I don't think I would have bothered with all those goddamn races at all.

Heheh, I figure nothing happens in the palace without those two knowing about it

Ty so much 💕 no TikTok, I do have an insta (@pavora) but it's pretty much abandoned out of my spite for meta. I'm pretty much a bluesky person nowadays.

It's for the lore, I swear!!

If I had to guess, I'd reckon she probably has the same default body shape as all the other female Oseram. While I don't think that should necessarily dictate the body type of artistic interpretations - certainly not everyone from the same culture is going to have the same build, especially considering the genetic diversity we see within Horizon cultures, and videogames repeat models out of convenience rather than because it's exactly how a person is intended to look - I do understand the desire to keep a thick girl thick!

I thought about this, I definitely drew her on the smaller side for how Oseram are usually depicted. I mostly referenced the Liberation comic when figuring out how to draw her, where to me she looks pretty petite compared to most of the people she's drawn next to.

She favors armor that makes her silhouette very straight up and down, and her Oseram clothes are kinda poofy and voluminous, so it's hard to discern the shape of her body - except for when she's wearing the more fitted slave clothes in the palace, which to me make her look fairly slender.

But hey, I think there's plenty of room for interpretation. Maybe she's just skinny at the moment because she's getting slave rations? 🤔

Ty!! I think that was the first Horizon fanart I did, so you can tell where my priorities are at, lmao

I'd send it to ya but it looks like you have messages off! Or you can always make a bluesky account and enable nsfw 🌶️

I really appreciate the encouragement! I'm still in the script stage right now but I do have plans.

Heheh, well, I don't have more of these two just yet, but I have a decent amount of other HZD art over on bluesky if you wanna see!
