It was a pleasure working with you on this piece -- you made an absolutely beautiful interpretation of this scene. The details in Aloy's gear, the Watchers, and all of the trees & plants around them make for a beautifully lush setting where I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks so much again for taking this on!
