Description
This image is NOT to be used or copied in ANY way under ANY circumstances, PERIODThis was a contest entry for Category Traps and Danger
The challenge is to draw out anything related to old Tomb Raider stuff o3o I decided to draw out a scene in Tomb Raider II the first level the Wall of China where if you dare, grab the secret Jade Dragon before you get smashed by spiky walls and avoid crumbling stone floors with spikes while you race through the building avoiding multiple traps at once. The scene didnt show a lot of blood stains in the game and since this IS a smashing kind of wall I figured the place really needed a lot of old blood stains...who knows how many poor sobs tried avoiding the deadly traps.
Of course there are plenty of secrets ((the dragon figures)) that are a real challenge to get to, and the jade dragon in this room can be a bit challenging if you're new with the game. It gets really easy once you get the hang of the controls and with the maneuvering through the multiple traps at once...so yea...I say its worth it when you get more ammo when you collect all three dragon figures in a level x3
How many times does Lara risk herself just to snag a treasure anyways...? Of course she finds it all worth it X3
I did NOT enjoy doing the wall texturing >< sooo sooo hard and tiring for my hand. My hand is achy and a bit stiff from so much work ><; and the blood stains was crazy amount of blending and mixing of different colors to make it look like old caked blood the best I can...I hope I didnt get carried away though...but like I said , if you think about what kind of room it is... I would say it be a very messy room lol
I also did NOT enjoy drawing the legs DX my gosh why did they have to be so hard to pose correctly?!! @@ It was a real pain to draw up but I'm glad its done in time.
Of course wouldnt you know it, I did NOT win in the slightest =.=;

Now that judging is done, I can actually comment on this:
Hehe... my thoughts exactly. I remember that exact level's Jade Dragon. I ALWAYS used to die there, but it is so worth it! Nice work!

Yep, it definitely summons up how I feel about risking my life for secrets, and I'm pretty sure Lara finds it all worth it too lol I dont remember how many times I died trying to get that jade dragon but I doubt it was many times.
Thank you, glad you appreciate my work ^^

OOO beautiful! I can tell you worked very hard on this, and I know that exact dragon you drew here, it is really hard to get! Well I have to share Lara's sentiments here...your hard work was SO worth it!

Thank you so much <3
Yea I had a heck of a time with it ....ended up getting my hand stiffened up and achy x.x; almost went numb. As for that dragon, I think I made it too big x.x; at least the height of it seems more correct. I used a snapshot of Lara picking up the dragon from the floor which lets me kinda determine at least the height.
Makes me wonder how she'll be able to fit it in her backpack lol

I think you are being way too critical of yourself. I think that making the dragon the size you did emphasizes its importance to Lara. Sometimes when you are drawing a picture, it is perfectly okay and even better when you don't make things 100% "picture perfect". The dragon size emphasizes its importance, I feel.
And yes I know all about hand cramps. I have been a colored pencil artist 24 years, it takes a lot of work and dedication to color an entire page with layers as you have done here.
I always wondered how Lara fit all her stuff in that little backpack too. Especially after the all weapons, all ammo cheat.

Makes me wonder if that skeleton in TR4 Revelations where Lara found the backpack....is LINK, and that backpack is the magic infinite space backpack D8
Dumb joke x.x;
Weird that I didnt think of the emphasis of the Jade Dragon. Thats an interesting way of putting it...makes me glad I made it like that then lol
