I felt the urge to draw Lara Croft. And then I realized it soon will be Tomb Raider's 20th anniversary! So this is my tribute. Tribute to the game that had great impact on my life. Tomb Raider I, II, II, V and IV especially were my favourite games in the early 00s. Atmosphere of loneliness among forgotten tombs fired up my fascination with ancient history and archaeology, which almost led me to studying archaeology in college. I was absolutely in love in the game and for many years I actively took part in Tomb Raider Polish communities, which resulted in having my own translation oficially included in the Polish localization of Tomb Raider Legend intro.

So yes, this is Lara Croft that I remember, recreated in my style. Preposterous big boobs and butt are mandatory.
As you may have guessed, I rather dislike the reboot. New Lara is not *my* Lara and I treat it as a completely different series with a new character. It's obviously more realistic and aproachable, but I don't care, nostalgia is nostalgia, you know.

Thank you Core Design for enriching my choldhood. <3
