Description
Do download the full-size if you may, resizing it in dA apparently muddy up the textures, TQ...one becomes attuned with the surroundings when long enough indulged...
The tattered clothing is more of a symbolism instead of a fan-service. It's deliberately made to look like the iconic Lara tank top and short-pants. What that does here is metaphorically 'glimpsing' the person in Tomb Raider 2013 of what she'll become: From a graduate to the Lara that we know of. I was inspired by the good ol''RAMBO: First Blood' movie where Stallone is literally the king of the wilderness, while presenting a clear message not to play games when you are the prey. So hope you enjoy this depiction of a woman at her predatory peak.

Symbolism, eh? I can see. I'm glad you didn't opt for ''fan-service''.
But hey, Lara is Lara, whether she is in shorts and crop top, or the more respectable choice of clothing of pants and shirt. Don't you agree?

I have not played the game & probably wont. Most games don't work on my PC because its angsty, and i don't have any consoles. Unless its out on wii. and even then moneyyyyyy. I'd rather buy hats.

This is spectacular, well done man. Very sexy to boot, but not overly-so.

I tried to emanate this 'primal' sexiness but stirring away from elements of promiscuity, I believe this new Lara doesn't need that or at least not anymore; she can hold up just by badassery alone
Btws thanks for the view and sorry for the tad late reply

Oh yeah absolutly, they're movies are much scarier than ours! The game is so good it reminded me of The Descent film if you've ever seen that movie.

Now that you mentioned it, Lara (the actress in the movie practically looks like her with the tank-top and climbing gear)really was in the movie, this: [link]

I know!! Ha that totally what I thought as I played the game!

Yes, I'm just at this point in the game with cannibals and caves with bloody river, it really screams The Descent, especially when these guys starts sneaking about 
It's either a very awesome coincidence or the developers were inspired by the movie.

Aye aye captain!

Did you really have to give her GIGANTIC unnatural and very unrealistic breast size? I practically can see her nipples...I find it very demoralizing to the character as I see her as more than a sexual object but a person who fought for their survival...not someone who fought for their survival to get a boob job to look like some kind of slut. But in either case...Beautiful artwork. Nice concept.

Thanks for following in my quest for gaming fanarts!
As always, great to hear this! XD
Lol I have a soft spot for Lara even I haven't played most of the past games, but this one is really down to earth and the grittiness is really my cup of tea

Really need to play this game. This came out so gritty, it's perfect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, the new refreshed take on this game really appeals to me as the previous installment didn't took things too seriously, it was verging uncanny and didn't treat the character with the realism sense of human lol
