Community Contribution: “Survive” by Priscillia Thomas “I thought Lara would feel like all of nature was against her after the shipwreck. With that image in mind, I saw her sinking at the heart of the island, pursued by some scavengers, with the night falling behind her. I wanted her to look panicked and determined at the…

Community Contribution: “Against the Elements” by Tansy Appleby “From what I have seen of the new Tomb Raider game it is darker, grittier, and tougher than anything we have seen before. The new game is centered on a young Lara learning how to survive and find the strength to push on no matter what. This is where she…

Community Contribution: “Braving the Caverns” by Ashley Quenan “Two of the attributes that made Lara so appealing to me are her beauty and strength. I wanted to keep those characteristics evident in this portrait, but also present the uncertainty and even fear that Lara must overcome in the 2012 title. As an artist, I love…

15-Year Celebration: “Kyudo” by Toby Gard “I think the key thing about the new Lara that Crystal is creating is how much more human she is. I wanted to capture fear and vulnerability but in a way that expresses her ability to overcome both her internal and external difficulties. I’m a sucker for bows, and…

15-Year Celebration: “Profile Pic” by Jonathan Jacques-Belletête “The idea behind the illustration was to give the viewer (and the players) something a bit different; a bit unexpected. People are now well aware of the events portrayed in the trailer, as well as the plausible impact they will have on the actual game. So I didn’t…

15-Year Celebration: “The Crucible” by Randy Green “Lara Croft has always come across as a strong-willed, self-confident character. Here however, I imagined her at a point where that inner confidence must be forged into action and put to the test. She is shaken and unsettled by her current situation, but ready to face head-on whatever…

15-Year Celebration: “Into the Darkness” by Brian Horton “Survival has been a rich theme for the dev team, providing opportunities to add emotional depth and a new range of scale for a Tomb Raider game. For this painting I wanted to explore an intimate moment of Lara overcoming fear, pushing forward through a dark and…

15-Year Celebration: “Shipwreck Beach” by Brenoch Adams “I’ve been locked up in Tomb Raider land for almost 4 years, and it was nice to step back and take a different approach to a subject that I have become very close to. The focus of this new Tomb Raider is about Lara’s metal and physical growth…

15-Year Celebration: “Wolf Den” by Long Vo “When I saw the demo for the new vision of Tomb Raider, I was instantly struck by how desperate and gritty the scenarios were. The original games always evoked a sense of awe, but none of those environments ever felt as threatening or ominous as the new game.…

“I want everyone to know how much it kills me that I can’t be in New York to celebrate the new Tomb Raider and the digital exhibition. I’m excited for the 500 people that get a print of my piece. I can’t even begin to say how stoked I was when Crystal Dynamics asked me…
