Merci beaucoup très chère !

I always found this game over both beautiful and tragic at the same time, so I guess I had to make a drawing of it !

Β <--- the World's tiniest Tomb Raider
Loved that game!
It was through Tomb Raider that I discovered deviantART.

Ahah love this little Lara !

I also really loved the first Tomb Raider, what an epic and beautiful video game !
Must admit I discovered DeviantArt thanks to Tomb Raider too, so we are both !

It's been years since I've played. I also had a lot of fun playing the Custom Levels made by fans with the TR Level Editor.
I never did make any myself, but I did create textures and pictures for use inside other people's levels.

Well I didn't play it for a while too (since I know this game at 100%) until last week, that's what gave me the idea of making a fanart !

I also really enjoy the "TRLE" games made by fans ; some levels are just incredible and so well done !! I tried once to make a remake level of the "Caves" from TR1 but I wasn't creative enough and had a lot of things to learn Too bad because it was looking pretty good to me lol !

That is great ! Did some fans used your work on their level ?

I bought a PlayStation just to play TR Anniversary, but never got the hang of using the PS controls. LOL.
I use the PS now for DVDs and Neflix. LOL
(I played everything else on the comp)

Oh that's too bad lol ! Actually I really enjoy playing my video games with my Playstation controller even on the PC !! It's easiest for me, the keyboard is too complicated for me even If I mostly play on my computer now ! xD

I also use my PlayStation for films and series since it can read blu-ray.. that's awesome !! ^^

Man, your TR artworks are fantastic. You do better tribute to the classics than most TR artists.

I don't even know what to say... this has to be the most beautiful compliment I've ever received.
Well, when I draw something related to classic TR and Lara, I always try to honour these fantastic games... It's a shame that Core Design no longer create TR games... Makes me sad when I think about it. So the better thing to do is, at least, trying to remember them through my paintings.

Beautiful statement, can't agree more. I try to do the same through fanfiction, shame it's much less popular in this fandom

EliottSontot In reply to Meldelen [2017-06-12 23:17:34 +0000 UTC]

I never red a fanfiction (never found what I was searching xD), but I would really like to see your work ! From a true and loyal Lara Croft fan it is certainly good to read !

But I know what you says... in fact I also think it really depends on the fandom. For exemple, I have persons who appreciate my TR artworks,but when I draw something else like Titanic (big passion !), very few feedbacks.. too bad.

Meldelen In reply to EliottSontot [2017-06-13 08:07:53 +0000 UTC]

It depends of what you're searching I write TRAOD sequels with LaraxKurtis. If you're fine with that you'll love them, or at least that Β‘s what I hope They're in my gallery.
And I can relate to that. If I write about the reboot, I'd have lots of readers.
But you LOTR fanart is fantastic! Don't mind the feedback. This fandom only appreciates newes TR fanart. And fanfiction in general is sooo ignored!
I love your art, so keep going! Γ€ bientΓ΄t!

EliottSontot In reply to Meldelen [2017-06-13 14:35:12 +0000 UTC]

TRAOD sequel ?! I'm down for it !!!!
And I really enjoyed this kind of complicity Kurtis and Lara developped through Angel of Darkness, so I'll definitely check your work !

Oh yes, that damn reboot... >.<"
Something that makes me sad too, the fact that the "reboot" series attract a lot of people these days... now when you search about Lara on google or wherever, you immediatly find something related to the reboot. It's like her true origins are progressively "erased".... Sad world...

Thanks a lot for your opinion, really happy to know you appreciate my other works as well !!

Unfortunately yes.. the more I see fanpages and groups about Lara, the more I realize the reboot and Rise became their "god".... uh...

Well as for your fanctions, do you post them on other websites ? Maybe it could be seen more ! I'm sure that your AOD sequel would be liked by a lot of TR fans ! (I know that we are many to want a AOD sequel... even if it is probably a dream now...)

Ahah, merci, c'est très gentil !

I agree with everything honestly!
I post my fanfics here in DeviantArt but also in Fanfiction . Net, Wattpad, AO3 and Inkitt. It's just about choosing Β 
Thank you so much for your interest!
