Tomb Raider (I)

After spending quite some time traveling, this summer I settled down (at the beach) for the newest Tomb Raider game. I recall the fist game as love at first sight, what with the hidden ruins, lost legends , faraway places and a faithful desert eagle, too. However, I had grown weary of the games because they did not change much through the years, so even though I bought the former, I have not played it yet. Tomb Raider 2013 has been a pleasant surprise because, finally, they changed (simplified) the interface and added some cool new features. In fact, I'll probably play it again.

Since I did a short comic book when I played the first one, I've gone for one of my usual game diaries with this. It's not an RPG, though, so there's probably more action and less storytelling than usual :)

Another Tomb Raider oldie

... and this is how I sketched 10 years ago

Yuck! At least, I was a better player at the time :P :D

L is for ... Lara Croft!

I guess everyone was expecting this one :D I want a Desert Eagle too! :P

Tomb Raider cover draft

A cover for my TR1 Comic preface I did some time ago

Yay! More Tomb Raider, comicbook style

This is a sketch of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Underground with Nintendo DS Colors. If you have an NDS, go and download it!

Lara Croft, Tomb Raider I

I can't say I liked the first movie (the second one being a totally different issue), but, hey, Angelina Jolie fits the rol quite well :P

Tomb Raideeeeer!

Damn it all! Where's that gear when you need it?

Ooops! I forgot about the last two pages ...

This is it, the end of my Tomb Raider comic, just moving into the opening scene of the first game :)
Hope you've liked it!

Tomb Raider comic (pages 7-8)

Almost done with the comic! Next pages link to the first game :)

Tomb Raider (pages 3-6)

Three more action filled pencil pages about Lara's origin ... :P

Tomb Raider intro, pencils (pages 1-3)

This is as good as any other day to post the original origin of Lara, pre-films and everything. In the first TR game, it is told how her plane fell to the Tibet mountains during a school trip and she managed to make it alive into a village some days later. I just took the basics from Gary Whitta's script and did this. Feel free to give your opinion.

I found this in my old hard drive today ...

And I still like them :)
These are a couple of very young Lara Croft drawings I did back during the first game to make a comic on the small adventure of her origin she tells at the beginning. I borrowed Gary Whitta's script (with his permission) and did the full 8 pages (a personal record) and even inked it and all! Maybe I'll upload the pages here some day :)
