Description
Photoshop CS6: Painting, Airbrushing and Photoshop Post-processing.18 hours +/-
- Watched 'The Tourist' www.imdb.com/title/tt1243957/ and I based the face on that classy and gracious Jolie look in this movie. Yes, coincidentally she 'was' Lara Croft but this has minor influence to do with it; it's a look I wanted to capture. Especially the lips
- Tried to keep her looking 'video game-y' or 'Pseudo 3D' here and bridge it with touches of realism. I believe TR: U Lara has strong grounds in the VG realm, so it's best to celebrate her as a VG Icon in 3D form instead of attempting to fully depict a realism render of her.
- I moved away from the gritty and outdoorish theme and went all vogue in this piece. Just a tribute to encapsulate the beauty of this VG icon where we spent most time ogling the rest of hers lol.
- I've made these effort to promote the new Lara Croft in my gallery, but I had this nagging feeling why it's hard to convinced everyone of her - I just remembered her predecessor, the one that got me bonkers about 6 years ago in the game called Tomb Raider:Underworld!

I supposed there are heaps of things from the 'old' Lara that didn't quite carried out to the new one, certain finesse and grace are part of them among many
Having said, the new LC is justifiably hot

I see, I think she only hot cause men and women close to her age now can relate lol.

I supposed her age speaks to the demography of gamers where more could relate to her; plus young people felt awesome that their role model is close to the age as them.
I highly believe this reboot is a positive move, now it's up to the developers to make her the Lara we know of in the squeal

YEah, keep it original and classic like the older games with this new lara too....Give her all around human qualities and all that haha

Imagine her with braided ponytail in the next game
Certainly Square Enix wouldn't want to look back at the past games, so I don't think she'll look like the classic LC anytime soon, unless in DLC

well square enix is just the producer not the games director crystal dynamic makes the game
still

Awesome for digging this artwork first of all; and yup, I'm dying to see this new Lara, let's see if the reboot live up to it's hype
Having said, I just want to play the game despite good or bad ratings

I think it will be great game! This spring we can enjoy many cool games such as new Dead Space and Bioshock, but mostly i'm waiting for new TOMB RAIDER))) So, we have to wait some time and decide if we like new Lara)

Dead Space 3 release date is in just two day!
Bioshock and TR most probably be back to releases. Spring should be awesome, Crysis 3 if you are into it is coming soon

That art means a huge amount of work, 18 hours!? thumbs up, i clearly can't devote so much time for one draw, even for the best.

Many thanks for the heads up! XD
I also found my other stolen art: [link]
The original: [link]
Yeah these mofos never learn, for them dA is like Photobucket or Imageshack. I have no problem for these fools to upload them, it would take them a thousand years to even paint stuff, but cutting out my artist signature on the artwork means no one can tell the real artist is
