I did this illustration of Tomb Raider for an internal contest inside DeviantArt when the new release of "Tomb Raider Survivor" was released. I enjoyed that game a lot (spoiler alert: didn't win anything, but I liked this illustration so much that it was my desktop image at my past work at "Industex" for nearly 6 years).
Trivia:
My illustration is strongly influenced in the trailer "Tomb Raider Turning Point”.
The deity on the top left corner does is Avalokiteshvara.
Technique: Digital coloring over physical drawing.
- Drawing done in bond paper with H4 and F pencils.
- Colored on Photoshop CS5.
- Scanned crumbled paper for texture.
- Used a photo of myself as reference for the character Lara (study of position and behavior of the hand).
- “Square Enix” and “DeviantART” logos were retraced in Rhino ver. 5.0 and colored in Illustrator CS5.
