“I decided to draw Lara in a dark, dangerous place. She is nearly unarmed and the torchlight that illuminates the way can be extinguished at any moment. She may remain in this dark place, with many dangers around. We don’t see horror on her face in spite of her situation. I am sure she will cope des

“To me Tomb Raider is an invitation of discovery – to travel. For this reason I wanted to represent Lara in a vast environment. I’m really excited to discover the different landscapes through the new Tomb Raider and in the meantime I offer my vision.” – Johann “Papayou” Blais

“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 must learn to become strong, independent, and

“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 same time, because she does not

“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 to play with bold colors and strong li

为了庆祝古墓丽影15周年，水晶动力将举办一场独特的数字艺术展览，委托一些备受好评的艺术家创作8件原创作品，作品将由参与创作的不同艺术家的个人风格来表现劳拉的新形象这一共同的主题。

“我认为晶体动力所重塑的这个新劳拉的关键之处在于她比过去更加人性化了。我想捕捉劳拉的恐惧和脆弱，但同时表现出她克服来自于内心和外在环境的困难的能力。 玩弓箭我很菜，但我想以此将劳拉表现成类似于神话当中的人物，比如那些受伤的浪人，面对这个残酷而又美丽的世界。 我的职业是游戏设计师和动画制作师，它们都与绘画的关系不大，所以我不可能像先与我之前发布作品的那些画家一样去绘制一幅逼真写实的作品。我的选择是走自然路线，我用Painter 12模仿水墨风格画了这幅作品，注重于整体的质感，淡化了很多细节。”——托比•加德

“我创作这幅作品的用意是想让观众和玩家们看到一些新颖的东西。到了这个时候，大家都已经对预告片中的各种情节和细节都很熟悉了，还有那些在真实游戏中可能会得到的体验。所以我的作品不想再重复这些相关主题了，我想展示一些新的东西，一些发生在预告片的情节之前的东西。新劳拉将带给我们的更多的是她在未知的地域中从最初开始的成长过程。所以我想展现她在登上“耐久号”（即预告片中劳拉所在的船）前的景象。不仅如此，我还想将一些寓意寄托在这幅作品中。因此这幅作品的主题是关于“预兆”：劳拉在上船前高兴地自拍，但得到的却是未来的她的图像，是在岛屿上探索自身命运的那个未来的她。如果你仔细看这幅作品的话，你会发现劳拉背包的肩带

“劳拉克劳馥一直以来在人们的理解中都是一个坚强而自信的角色。然而在我的画作中，我设想她正处于这样一个时点——她需要用行动来检验自己的自信，磨炼自己的意志。虽然她对目前所处的境况感到害怕不安，但她已经做好了准备去面对任何可能到来的挑战！”——兰迪·格林
