Description The idea behind this drawing was creating something that reflected the less glamorous, more violent style of the new Tomb Raider game while also being simple, like a logo, that could be seen and instantly recognised.
So, I came up with this style of drawing, which is partially inspired by the successful marketing campaigns of both Kick-Ass and The Dark Knight Rises. It's something I could easily see printed on not only posters but also backpacks, Tshirts and so on, and that shows a more primitive, savage look for the character. It ought to reflect that more basic, animal instinct of survival Lara has to unleash in order to survive.
My design, as I had envisioned it originally, was going to have the word "Survive" written on the bottom (as both an order to the player as to what he/she has to do during the game, and as a reflection of that instinct that makes Lara move forward and keep living). The "Tomb Raider" title (notice the colours used are similar to those in the title) was to be placed on the bottom right of the picture, in a smaller size... but Im not sure if that's allowed by the rules or considered copyright infringement or something, so I didn't. I decided to discard that design (although I have drawn it) because the words (the way I had drawn them) didnt reflect the same spirit as the rest of the picture.
Well, enough ofme talking. I hope you like it

You certainly get the message across. In my view so far the best adaptation of the 'reborn' theme. There is tiredness and wariness in those eyes that have seen too much horror in too short a time, yet at the same time the hardness of a survivor is beginning to shine through. And yes, with that follows the necessary savageness - them or me - you got that perfectly right. The coloring uses the main TR theme colors really well without coming across as a copy. The line-art resembling style of her face is done really well: first you see Lara, then you notice it's not photo-realistic. But it feels real.
To sum up: I'll pre-order that trekking backpack. And the T-shirt. Please win.
