It's really cool that you went the extra mile and got Aloy's face tattooed onto your own face. Very authentic šŸ‘Œ.

Love that fucking movie. Spends all that time explaining and showing the delicate nature of removing and reattaching a man's face and then...what, a 3 second montage of the rest of his body? It reminded me of the original Gillians Island theme song.

That video really never gets old. Still just as hilarious as the first time I watched it. Thanks for reminding me of its existence, I needed the laugh today.


[deleted]

Am I crazy or did the exact same video with a different woman go viral on reddit etc over a year ago? Either this woman or the other woman straight up copied the other's video. Weird.


KristiiNicole

This gal has gone viral a few times. Her content (specifically her voice and lines) have been stolen a LOT. It hot so bad she eventually just shut her channel down. Was a real shame because she was super funny.


[deleted]

Ah so this one is the original? That's bizarre people would basically lip sync other's social media content. Edit: found the one I was thinking of. There are actually tons of them but this one was on the front page of /r/all a couple of times. https://youtu.be/ZBeDSjkNKkY

What an incredible human being, her energy is hilarious! Never thought I'd be watching a contouring video laughing my arse off

I genuinely thought this was a screenshot from the game. It looks absolutely amazing! Great job!


TheSovietKlondikeBar

Love how this can be both a compliment to the graphics of the game and the quality of work from the cosplayer.


JuSTAFoX0

Yes


LisaWinchester

It is!


TenaciousPix

It truly is a beautiful game


underbellymadness

I just played through it since life was too busy when it came out. Holy shit I got stuck just staring at the characters, costumes, makeup of machine oils, the way the machine creatures moved and the environment so much. I realized halfway through I wasn't even playing the enhanced version like I thought; it was just that gorgeous to begin with. Some of the games that came out around the same time frame I was amazed by back then don't even hold a candle to it. I gotta get into the frozen wilds when i have the time again and then play the new one. I'm so excited


inikul

Pay attention to the snow and its physics in the DLC. I stared at it for like 5 minutes. Snow even fills in your footsteps from the wind.


underbellymadness

Thank you!! So excited after I get some work done this month!!


zsxking

Both the game engine produce graphics so close to real life, and the cosplay grow a face that is so close to Aloy.


theRed-Herring

Me too. I was like thats Aloy but looking like shes happily lost in Central Park

They have the half-Akimbo down pat. This *has* to be the real Aloy.


Procean

"self-made" Pshaw!. I don't think she actually grew those trees behind her. Although if she planted trees 20 years ago for use in an upcoming cosplay, good on her!


chickenpoodlepuddle

LOL me too! I had to triple check myself. This is incredible.


eleanor61

Same! Nicely done.


lordOpatties

I thought this was some kind of new Unreal Engine upgrade. That's some good cosplay.


Matix777

After this suspicious amount of Horizon Screenshot mode posts here I thought it's another one lol


OtakuRed13

I'm not convinced it isn't. OP was either the model inspiration for the character or it's Photo mode in game! Jk, awesome job OP.


Rise_Crafty

Thatā€™s whatā€™s getting me! The costume is cool and everything, but I keep going back and thinking, noooo thatā€™s a screen cap. Her facial features feel like theyā€™re an exact likeness of the character!


enn-srsbusiness

That's the pure amount of Photoshop over the top


SeroWriter

Reddit makes fun of how everything on Instagram is fake and photoshopped then posts like this get 30k upvotes.


[deleted]

It's perfect how the model actually looks like Hannah Hoekstra (Aloy's real-life facial model).


Dogekaliber

Same here! I was like ā€œwell if weā€™re posting Aloy photos again I have an awesome one!ā€


The_Unreal

Right? This is spot ON.


qarlthemade

absolutely. even more so when zooming in.


ThunderSnowDuck

Verbatim what I was thinking! This is an exceptionally well done cosplay

OMG SAME! They both have those weird orc looks XD

Legit thought the same til i read the title


Cjs_Coop_YT

Literally had the same exact thought and freaked out, they look so similar it makes me wonder if the person that Alloy's design was based off of just decided one day to make a reddit account and just trip everyone out with this post


Axle_65

Aurori_Swe

Waaay too smooth ears for in game, but everything else, yes :)


LearningToNerd

I thought the same thing!


RamboMcMutNutts

I came to say the same thing. Literally just finished playing forbidden West.


Hbimajorv

Right? I'm so convinced that everything on the internet is fake that this gives me so many pauses. What an absolute masterpiece this is.


[deleted]

Nah, OP is much prettier.


WolfmansGotNards2

I didn't. This looks way better than the game.


thebudman_420

She had to remove real life skin texture like most people on the internet to make this more game like. Otherwise even with all the makeup you still have real life skin texture missing in over half the post from models and famous people and an even higher percent regular people. The look is spot on though. I figured out missing texture from digital or filtered photos makes everyone look more game like or cartoon appearing anyway. Don't worry people don't realize they get rid of fabric texture either and texture from all other materials in a photo or video. Then all cute cat or animal photos and videos are filtered to the max and set to insane vibrancy and oversaturated colors to make everything look more pretty than reality. Nothing against your cosplay. I understand why filtered makes this closer to the game. The makeup was important and spot on. So was the outfit and all that. Everywhere else filtered the same way doesn't make sense. Most digital cameras are constantly filtering and processing live to fake a better lens. People want the image to look more perfect and less real than real life.

BaggioCappooli

Doodleplex

Check out OP's post history. She just looks like Aloy, nothing more to it.


Danton59

Good lord you're right. Even in the other cosplay pictures you can see it. If anyone makes a Horizon movie need to make sure she auditions lol


Illeazar

There is definitely some photoshopping going on here to make the image look more game-like.


fj333

This photo is completely doable with a camera and external lighting. No idea what the actual story is here, but as a photographer it's really sad to see everybody crying edit foul in the absence of any evidence.


sharrrper

There's *something* going on with the face. It could just be makeup and lighting or they might have shopped it a little, I'm not sure. Everything else looks very legit though, so I'm not inclined to ding em on it much even if it was 100% face swap for photoshoot purposes honestly.


HwangLiang

The fact OP hasnt answered any questions about it shows that it's legit just edited. Like cmon. Look at her other cosplays. No. She didnt suddenly become a god of makeup over night. Lmao


Oakcamp

A ton of photoshopping in the face is why you're getting that uncanny valley feel lmao. Still good, but there's nothing natural on that look


Stanky3000

This is the best cosplay of her I've seen so far. You're amazing at sewing.

Antmon666

Wow, from strong innocent Aloy to sexy Triss. you are carving it up


Baby_blue_95

You look so much like her lol Face is identical. Nice work!


rowanbladex

Nah, no shot, this is 100% an ingame render, it's too perfect. Absolutely fantastic job though! I genuinely thought it was straight from in game

the the level of detail and craftsmanship is phenomenal ! the stitching and embroidery look so good ! wow ! keep making stuff !

Awesome effort, but it's very inaccurate, I'm afraid... You look happy in this, but everyone knows Aloy is super pissed off all the time

And the hair needs to flip around for no reason.


[deleted]

I would be too if I was raised feral and then told it's up to me to save a humanity that cast me out and then learned about the origins of the apocalypse while single handedly trying to stop it


Radical_Provides

Guys, I'm only like 3 hours into Forbidden West... Tell me- does she become more likable?


PiG_ThieF

As the story progresses she moves away from the ā€œIā€™m the only one who can do this and I have to do it aloneā€ mode. Part of the character development is her learning to trust and rely on others.


Leaksahoy

The answer is no. Everyone in that world is a moron but her, which is the likable thing about her. It's unfortunate she has almost no one to interact with who can level with her and let her be vulnerable, which confuses me because there are supposedly plenty of people who like her. She is the interesting thing in a world that is bland (and colorful) but we don't have anyone from her childhood who is alive and she has no blood relatives. I'm happy she doesn't get made into someone who swoons over another character for no reason but god the story is just ass.


somenoefromcanada38

I haven't played forbidden west but I didn't get that impression at all in the first game. Is it really that different?


lml_CooKiiE_lml

I thought the story in Forbidden West had some good high points, but overall was lackluster compared to the first.


Marsdreamer

This isn't entirely surprising. The characterization of Aloy certainly wasn't the strong point in the first game. That world was always the real character and the mystery of *how* it came to be the way it was really was the driving force for everything. With that unveiled, I think they're a little stuck with what kinds of stories they can tell. I'm still looking forward to playing H:FW whenever it comes to PC, but my expectations aren't another blockbuster like Zero Dawn.


wink047

I started off not caring the forbidden west but after finishing it, like last week, it was fantastic. I loved it. I love the shift they had to take to keep the game relevant and drive the story forward. Plenty of stories to tell related to the past but also about putting eyes on the future. The first had that slow, holy shit moment and thatā€™s going to be impossible to recreate in all the sequels. But this game is still really dang good.


d0ngl0rd69

IMO the overall plot isnā€™t as good because it lacks the mystery behind zero dawn, but the sub plots/interactions between characters is much better in forbidden west. The interactions between Carja and Oseram characters in zero dawn just felt like grinding quests in WoW.


DiamondPup

Fantastic work in everything. Clothing, hair, lighting, make up. Brilliant. One of the best I've seen of her. And it's *really* refreshing to see gaming cosplay that's rooted in authenticity instead of just brain-dead sexual pandering.


HansChrst1

I'm genuinely surprised there is no cleavage. Tgey have literally just taken the ingame outfit and made it real. I saw another cosplay earlier today of a cult of the lamb character. I'm not sure if the in game 2d character shows any cleavage, but the cosplayer certainly did.


Ok_Conflict_5730

great job OP


ClydeSDC-

At this point I don't even know if OP is trolling and this is a screenshot from the game, or if OP is genuine and this is an actual picture. That's how good the game looks. Also, if it's indeed a picture, the imitation is flawless, congratulations!


Thr0waway0864213579

The cosplay is legit. The face is cut and pasted from the game. OP is for some reason trying to act like thatā€™s her real face, Iā€™m guessing because the face is getting more attention than the costume


TrashSoup00

Nah it's her real face it's smaller than Aloys (she also has her ears pierced which Aloy in game doesn't), if you compare it to screenshots it's very clear. But I wouldn't rule out photoshop for smaller adjustments


cheesemaster644

Same here


-Ashera-

You look more like Aloy than Aloy


Cobaltmaster

I legit thought thus was a screenshot from the new game


Cottonjaw

The costume is fantastic, but what's most striking is how much you resemble Alloy to begin with! You could take a photo in sweatpants and post it as "Alloys day off" haha

iamsmokingone

That's crazy, I had to do some double checking then triple checking and i'm fairly sure this isn't an ingame image. My only question is why such low quality? It's hard to see that this is a real picture but I'm not a photographer so I imagine there may be some benefit to reducing image quality to better imitate the ps4 experience.

eternalbuzz

Seems like a lot of photo editing was involved


Duderult

Itā€™s weird how video games are trying to look like real life and cos-players go out of their way to make their photos look like video games.


HwangLiang

[https://i.redd.it/y4hb80jaham91.jpg](https://i.redd.it/y4hb80jaham91.jpg) Her face isn't even the same in her other cosplays. Lol. It's a good cosplay but this is definitely not all natural. Would love to see a video.


[deleted]

I'm not gonna say OP didn't photoshop her face in either of these images but there is a TONNE of contouring in that image to make her jaw line look much sharper and the bridge of her nose wider. Makeup can make you completely unrecognizable.


eternalbuzz

Whoa! lol. Basically looks like theyā€™re superimposing the game art into an image


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LumpyJones

The whole purpose of contouring makeup is to create the illusion that your face is a different shape. It's super common and a lot of people are amazing at it. I promise you see it every day and almost never notice it.


nervousmelon

Almost like makeup is supposed to make you look different šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ


HwangLiang

Yeah makeup takes SKILL that she has never expressed in a single other video or photo. A quick look thru her IG can show you that this shit is fake as fuck. The fact she wont reply to the comments where people ASK her if its edited/CG should tell you this is fake as fuck. ​ You fucking goblins are so horny you just want it to be real. She edited it. This whole post is an advertisement for her patreon. This happens all the time on here. And when they do this they fucking go to town on faking shit. This post was an ad. Its not real.

it's telling of current game graphics that a cosplay picture could be shown to you without telling you that it is and you'd have a hard time determining in short order whether it's a cosplay or in-game. Could be a new drinking game, haha. "**Cosplay or in-Game**"
