Description I've been very busy with alot of stuff recently and haven't have neither the time nor the energy for much "for-fun"-drawing. Then I wanted to do something, but somehow didn't find my "mojo" back; I've been doing lots of illustrational work recently and have somehow adapted my style to a certain way of working for that and somewhat had some problems getting back to my "old" self again.

So it was pretty hard to get "back home", drawing-wise...but finally I somehow managed and here is the result: it's a Lara Croft pic that will finally be for an old friend of mine with whom I've spend many hours on TR2 (among MANY others...) back in the days...

Wow! That's really nice! I know what you mean about trying to get back to your natural drawing style after you've learned to do things a certain way to please your editor. I'm also wanting to "get back" to an earlier style.

This is really beautiful!I'm glad you found time to do it.

Hey, Randy!! Many, many thanks for checking the pic out!! It really means ALOT to me that you actually like it, as, as I told you, your way of drawing Lara is REALLY my favourite.
And yeah, trying to get back to "natural" is hard; but then on the other hand I don't wanna fall back into my old habits and errors again. It's somewhat togh altogether; there's SO MUCH I want and NEED to improve in my drawings; hair, clothes and drapery, anatomy in general and, and, and...but then again that's what pushes us to go on, doesn't it...?

So once again: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for checking it out and keep up the great work!!

Best greetings,

-ND!-

Love it. Love it. Love it. The angle is what makes this pic! The background is awesome, too! Nice detail! Love the monkey! Oh, you done good! Instant fave, and I can't wait to see it colored!

well, THANKS ALOT!!
...I'm pretty happy too with how it turned out, but it's always nicer when other people like it too!

As for the colours, I'd like to see it coloured, too...!

Was that wink for me?! Ooh, if it was, I'd be tempted to color it, but stuff THIS good is gonna need more of a master with the palette than I!

*lol* no pressure, man, it was a wink in GENERAL... as my stuff unfortunately never attracts any colourists out there...

Merci!!
Comme j'ai décrit dans la description, j'avais du mal à m'y remettre, mais finalement ca valait la peine de se battre, car je suis assez content du résultat final; c'est finalement à peu près ce que je voulais faire...
