Horus Concept and Hires model.

I Had the opportunity to make the concept art and Hires model of the Horus by myself. And it wasn’t easy as we had to go back and forth for a long period of time in development. There are lots of concept art pieces that are unused. But I am happy to share some of them.

Visually, I couldn’t make a totally new model as the Horus has been shown before in Horizon Zero Dawn, as a static model. because of this, it should be visualy the same. So most focus was on to make it unnoticeable that it is a newly build model. But it's not only about that, it also should be containing these two main concepts. The giant metal monster, and manmade military machine for the purpose of a autonomous mobilized factory. I tried to integrate those two concepts and am happy that this went well.

Thanks to Lennart Franken, who is the lead asset artist, that took all the technical issues of the Horus machine on him, so that I could focus on the concept and Hires model.

Also, thanks to all the other artists working on this model.
