Here's my top 10 fave artworks I have made this year!
10. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Thor's Hammer
Lara finding Thor's Hammer in Tomb Raider Underworld was an iconic moment in the series for sure! This artwork shows Lara with Thor's Hammer, belt & gauntlets. I was pleased with how I achieved the glowing effect of the gauntlets/belts & the contrast of the blue with the brown/black works well!
9. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Sophia Leigh 2021
Sophia Leigh remains one of my favourtie video game villains of all time. To celebrate Tomb Raider's 25th anniversary, I gave Sophia redesign! She looks very chic with the plunging neckline & green & white accessories. The background and foreground were repurposed photographs and I think they work well, but I'd like to try drawing more backgrounds!
8. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - A Survivor is Born
The 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider was an iconic moment in the series history! A younger Lara against the wilderness was a unique experience. This portrait represents Lara's journey - she's been through hell and back and is still in one piece! I enjoyed being able to add a higher level of detail to this portrait!
7. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Melissa Croft
Melissa Croft was a planned character for the Core version of Tomb Raider Anniversary. She is Lara's cousin, who has a similar interest in artefacts but has far less morals in regards to how she obtains them. This art was inspired by an initial concept of Melissa. I had the idea of Melissa finding all of Lara's artefacts in Croft Manor and having her fill! I really liked drawing not only Melissa, but all the artefacts & background! A shocked Lara at the window is a nice touch too! XD
6. Samurai Warriors 5 - Sena
Sena was my favourtie newcomer in Samurai Warriors 5! I loved her design and replicating the different textures in my fanart was challenging but fun!
5. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Venice
Tomb Raider 2 was my very first TR game! Venice is an iconic moment in the series, and I enjoyed recreating Bartoli's hideout! Drawing backgrounds and the details like the mines was a great way to realize the idea, and I need to do more of that with future artworks!
4. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Putai
The enigmatic Putai was a cut character from Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness. She is a shaman who helped Lara recover after she barley escaped the Pyramid at the end of TR4. I really enjoyed drawing Putai and the extra details like the jewelry. I also think the background works well against Putai creating a nice mystical aesthetic.
3. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Reunion
Natla's return in Underworld is an awesome moment! I liked drawing Natla in her specimen jar, and adding the reflection of Lara on top of the image! It's a simple effect but it worked well!
2. Jak & Daxter - Maia
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Jak & Daxter series! Maia is my favourtie character in the series! I was inspired by Art Nouveau and gave Maia lovely flowing hair. I also love her sinister smile!
1. Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Morgau's Curse
My favourtie piece of this year! Morgau was a planned character for the Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness sequels. She is a Lux Veratatis like Kurtis, and has numerous powers. However, she requires different elixirs to keep her body running. As such, she has a Frankenstien's Monster aesthetic. I really love the various wires and cables connected to her, and her dramatic face really details the suffering shes experiencing.
Happy New Year! I look forward to sharing more artwork in the future! :D
