   IKR? I hope @horvathkristy​ finish her eventually. Nobody draws Lara like her.

   :O I love this! ♥ The atmosphere/expression is just amazing! :D    

How the hell did ya’ll manage to dig this painting (and other ones) out of the dark depths of my tumblr? Haha

Thank you very much for your words. Unfortunately, life has prevented me from doing my personal art for the past couple of years now, and because of that I stopped being active here too. But it always makes me incredibly happy when out of the blue I get a note on one of my old drawings. And your names pop up more often than others’ (an artist remembers these kind of things - this is why likes, reblogs and little comments especially matter)

I can’t promise I will finish this. I do remember not having the patience to properly draw her full body and the background, but I was (and still am) quite pleased with her face, so turning it into a more refined/fully rendered portrait is not completely out of the question. (Portraits are more my speciality anyway) I think I (sort of?) managed to capture her character and created a resemblance to her actual TRAOD model while also making it semi-realistic in my style. Definitely needs more work, but you should’ve seen the first sketch - her face was SO different and just not right for the character.

Anyway. I don’t know if it will take me months or years to get back into doing this kind of art, but I know I terribly miss it. There’s a tiny little voice inside me that is demanding it, and perhaps slowly, but it is getting louder and louder. With Lara being my childhood hero and my very first inspiration, I can safely say that I will never stop drawing her.
