I'm so excited to play the entirely fan-made game Focus On The Heart! Congrats to all of the @focusontheheart team for working so hard on this game! To celebrate its upcoming release, here is some silliness (affectionate) with the eight eager love interests and the Savior of their hearts, Aloy.

Can't wait to see every character! Gotta woo them all!

Is it too early to make fanart of Focus on the Heart?

Kotallo's path was such a wonderful story and some of my very favorite people did amazing work on it! Seriously if you haven't played FOTH check it out; it's a beautiful fan made work of art.

Oh hey y'all! The Spoiler embargo is finished and I can share what I made for @focusontheheart <3.

Firstly, my CG for my beloved Kotallo route (as well as all the sprites) showing my precious Blorbos going through their bonding swim <3.

Next I made a full CG for the beautiful Petra:

Walking through the Daunt, learning the focus and preparing for the adventure ahead!

And finally, my BOY, Drakka!

As they fall away from a Thunderjaw barrage, into an underground lake and on to their adventure!

My thanks to @fogsblue and @mayalli for the Kotallo and Petra guidance and love. ALSO an extra special thanks to the delightful @chloefraazers For the guidance with Drakka <3 and being a fellow Drakka stan as well!!

Quiche, you did such a beautiful job with this soft moment! I will never get over how he’s looking at her…he absolutely has heart eyes for her and it’s perfect! @fogsblue and I were so lucky to have your art in this!

Posting my CG art for @focusontheheart's Kotallo route written by the lovely @fogsblue and @mayalli!

I can't believe it's been a year since I was first asked to contribute for this project (I was still doing internships and had to delay starting it till a few months later 🤭), and I'm so glad to have taken part in it, even if a small bit.

Seeing the final product makes me all happy and giddy inside. Thank you to the entire team for giving me this opportunity and for the stories you've all shared. It's been a wonderful experience getting Aloy her smooches teehee

Check it out if you'd like to play!

Also throwing in my thumbnails when I was first brainstorming the layout back around August-September 2023 under the cut!

SUN’S OUT! And it DEFINITELY has nothing to do with what a pain in the ass his armor is to draw. Definitely not…. 🤥

HFW Fan Game Released!

In celebration of the release of the fan game/visual novel @focusontheheart today, I was moved to attempt this Hades-ish style portrait of my favorite Horizon character.

I was doubly honored to be asked to do an illustration for the Kotallo narrative (not the above, you’ll have to play to see it!)

A lot of excellent and dedicated fans worked hard on this game and I can’t wait to play it myself this weekend. Check out @focusontheheart to download it for FREE from itch.io.

(Yes I made his hair too long but I claim dramatic effect. This is also why he is tits out.)

Have fun!

One day away, it's almost here!!

Do you have your weapons and your wit sharpened? You're going to need both on this adventure with Aloy!

[focusontheheart]

One year ago, FOTH began development. Now, we're 8 days away from release, and we cannot wait to share what we've made with you!!

For now, Aloy can get some smooches!
