| TOMB RAIDER 15-Year Celebration: "Kyudo" by Toby Gard |
| October 28th, 2011 |
The eight and last TOMB RAIDER 15-Year Celebration is 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 I wanted to represent her as an almost mythical figure, like some injured Ronin
against a harsh but beautiful world.
I’m a game designer and animator by trade, who just does a bit of art on the side, so knew I couldn’t
possibly stack up with the accomplished artists who have gone before me by trying to render the image
realistically. I chose to go the natural media route and used Painter 12 to imitate an ink wash/watercolor
look getting a lot of texture but with little detail." - Toby Gard
