This looks amazing

How do you make it so realistic?

just a suggestion, but by the time she has got the bow and the gun, she is covered in scars and mud, so it would look even more epic if she had them and omg now I really want to finish the game even though I am crap at it

You should read the book.

It was really good (Well at least the 1st one was, the second and third was too much about feelings, and kind of bored me)

Even people with uhhhh book phobia like it

This is very awesome. I really like how you captured the rebooted Lara's attitude here. Definitely a step up from the old Lara.

I have to say though, while this is an amazing painting, I can't help but notice that the face isn't exactly Lara's. It looks like an actress that I'm sure I know the name of, but it's just not coming to me right now XDXD.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment again The references that I got for her was the person who played her in the game, an English actress called Camilla Luddington. The most difficult part of this painting is the realism part as it's a game and I didn't want to do anything else that was floating around. I painted this with an idea of doing a puzzle, so I added something that Lara didn't wear...a wedding ring on her left hand. so you had to guess it

Jokar216 In reply to jht888 [2013-07-16 16:02:02 +0000 UTC]

Damn! I actually did notice that and was going to say something, but I was trying to figure out the rules to your contest and by the time I almost got it, you had already told me XDXD

Oh well.

That whole bit about using the actress that played her in the game as reference, that was a nice touch. I had no idea. XP

jht888 In reply to Jokar216 [2013-07-16 16:18:23 +0000 UTC]

The actress was for her eyes, but her jaw was a different shape to Lara's. But I've changed her left hand now to holding a dagger and clenched instead of open. When I started this paintingΒ  Β , I thought about you as my first stage I had to draw a cartoon for her pose. At that stage I could have changed her into Supergirl, Wonder Woman etc as your style is cartoon

Very interesting information indeed. Awesome change. The fact that you did it so nonchalantly impresses me even more XDXD

Nice to know I was in your thoughts at one point during production. c:

You're welcome. I'm painting another 'Ellie' from 'The last of us' then I'm painting your's Ideally what are you looking for in the 'Mass Effect' painting as I don't really know the characters or the Aliens. Are there main casts? whose your favourite?

wish I could play it, they all say it's a wonderful game, I'm crossing my fingers for a pc version xDΒ 


hooray!!! I can't wait!!! Well, I don't have any "standard" setting, just be creative as always, you have a unique style and I wouldn't risk ruining the final effect giving you directions which could be far from your point of view it could be a static pose or one of the main characters doing someting (shooting, running, having a coffee xD, everything you can come up with, just unleash your skills )

Generally, as you may notice browsing my profile (hahah), I absolutely love Garrus (www.google.it/search?q=garrus+... and anything with him would be awesome but I know it may be a difficult character to draw because of his features so it's up to you, really just paint the character that you visually like the most (or read bits and pieces of them on the net and choose YOUR favourite this way ^^).Β 

The main cast includes 16 characters more or less so I wouldn't dare telling you to paint them all xD (browse.deviantart.com/art/Mass...

Anyway, I'm sure you'll do a lovely job and I am so happy that my suggestion was worth your time, I so appreciate it!!
