Big Abby happened in response to Big Ellie. I started planning her in the summer of 2022, and began work on her in November 2022. Due to school and work, the project took longer than anticipated, and came to a close in June 2023.
Using TLOU2's photomode tool, I took my own reference photos of Big Abby and superimposed them together. I made edits to how much blood she has on her skin based on the blood textures in the game, and how they interact with rain and lighting.
