Tomb Raider

The game was released on 5 March 2013 and at deviantArt was launched a worldwide contest for artists to give their personal vision of the heroin. Having draw Lara so many times before, I could not pass up an opportunity like this without participate. The response was massive, and competition, brutal. I could not be among the selected but it is an illustration of which I am very proud.
It was difficult to find an original concept. My idea was to draw Lara jumping and shooting an arrow at a time, to give the scene a powerful strength and dynamism. But I knew this idea would be done by many other artists. So I should look for a very awkward position that no one else tried.
I decided to join two great icons such as Lara and Artemis, goddess of hunt. Searching among thousands of references I found the statue of Diana by Paul Manship that served as my base and inspiration to represent a Lara Croft holding her bow to shoot an arrow while jumping over a cliff.
