Description
My submission to the Tomb Raider competition. I really enjoyed playing this game, and thus, I am so happy this competition came out. There are a ton of the submissions being entered into this contest that look so good, and there are so many great paintings/drawings of everyone's take on Lara Croft! It's awesome!In my work, I wanted to illustrate what I thought was one of the most powerful part of the game: the moments in between all the crisis and action sequences. I thought the telling of Lara's loss of innocence and codependence were told in a fantastic fashion, and I wanted to convey that in my work. I think all the action is part of what makes a Tomb Raider game; but, I believe "Reborn" was more about Lara coming to terms with the fact that she is a "Croft" and has what it takes to push on. Over time in the story, her fears and doubts wash away, allowing her to survive all the odds.
EDIT: I went ahead and did my final touches to my painting, now that the contest is over. And I am going to call it "done" at this point. Thanks to everyone for their love and support!
Please do not use my art work without my permission. Thanks!

Thank you so much! It's actually inspired from Square Enix's Tomb Raider game. I did this illustratiion after playing it. If you have a chance to play it, I highly recommend it!

OH
MY
GOD
WOW
This is, by far, the most beautiful artwork on TR Reborn!!
Because youΒ΄re right, the thing that has made the game different (and in my opinion, better) than from the others, is that tells us the emotional part of Lara. Congrats!!

This is my favorite in the contest. I love that you chose to show her from a different perspective, not the usual cliched running-jumping-climbing-etc. Too bad it didn't win.
