I'm Bad at This

I keep coming back to this blog apologizing for not having posted in ages, but I suppose that such is the plight of a junior. I really do have more projects in the works, it's really just a matter of finding a significant block of time to unfold/build/document. As proof of my having lived these past few weeks, poster updates:




I really will try to post a model or two soon!

Periapt Shard + New Poster

Up next is the Periapt Shard from Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Lara Croft discovers one of these three crystalline shards exploring the galleries of the Louvre "after hours." Lara secures her second shard in an encounter with Kurtis Trent in a wing of Eckhardt's Lab, and the third in Eckhardt's Lab itself. Lara soon finds out that these shards are needed to take down the evil ahead.

And here's yet another poster. I took this from the cinematic from Tomb Raider: Chronicles in which a memorial to Lara Croft is erected after she is presumed dead.

Triumphant Return

Yes!! I finally have my camera back and can start building models again (I needed to the camera to take pictures for instructions as I went:) I've already begun work on a new project, but thought I'd update on behalf of the poster front. Glad to be back!

Gaining Perspective

So this small poster update serves two purposes; 1- It's a fantastic opportunity to use my public blog to show off something that the public has no interest in :) 2- Give everyone a hint to the project I'm finishing, which considerably more people are interested in. Should be up in a day or two!

The Last Piece of the Puzzle

I have finished the mural! Now that I'm done with that (done in a sense, I'm not done making my posters :), I can get back on track with the papercraft projects in my WIP folder, which, might I add, literally has over 100 files in it :D. I'm working on quite a few Lara's, as well as another special model. I've also recently come into some nice Metroid Prime models and do believe I'll work on making some of those in papercraft as well. More soon!

1 + 1 = Update!

So I have a mural update as well as a minor papercraft update. Here's the flare model from Tomb Raiders IV-V:

...as well as the TRAOD cover!


I'm still working on a few TR models, as well as a few models from four or five other games. More soon!

Enjoy!

Progress...

...is being made on the mural front, I'm currently working between releasing a model, building a model, build Ninjatoes's fantastic EDS model, and working on the TRAOD cover.

More soon!

Ooh, Pretty Colors...

So I suppose I should explain why I haven't released anything new...becasue I am obligated to explain my movements to the anonymous masses that read my blog. So I was staring at the wall the other day and realized that it needed some sort of poster or picture. Unfortunately, I have no posters or pictures to pin up on my wall, which brought about the idea of making my own! I couldn't really think of what to make into a poster, until I looked down at my television, running Tomb Raider: Underworld, and decided that to make some Tomb Raider posters. This started a project I've been working on, creating a mural of the box art from the eight released Tomb Raider games, plus a little extra. So far I'v completed Tomb Raider I-IV, and am still going strong with my colored pencils and staying inside the lines.

I tried to make a papercraft model, but my dog ate it, so I took that as a sign.

I realize that this blog has somewhat spun out of my hands and into a portal from Tomb Raider and papercraft fans alike, but if I can get away with posting about chocolate bars and keys, then I think some Tomb Raider fan art will pass :) Hopefully new crafts coming soon!

Here's what I have so far, just for kicks:






Hooray for shameless self promotion!

Large Medipack

When making this, I had intended to build an arsenal of accessories for the plain Tomb Raider 1 model, but then i learned of other far more interesting prospects and scuttled off to work on my papercrafting ambitions. let me clarify, I called this the small medipack in the file because of it's size when built. Yes, I understand this is the bigger one, hopefully I will make a smaller one as well.

Lara Croft Head

Considering that this is my first post, i found it appropriate to post my first model, even though it's god-awful. Yes, i am using my blog as an electronic memento bookshelf, what of it? anyways, this model is very simple and for those obsessive Tomb Raider fans that just so happen to have a use for the head of Lara Croft.
