File this one under “Neat.” Freelance artist Ankit Garghas done a number onTomb Raider‘s Lara Croft, giving her a total makeover that would make Tyra Banks and herAmerica’s Next Top Modelcrew proud. (Miss J confirms this as “fierce.”)
While Garg says he was inspired by games likeFalloutand id software’s upcomingRage, we’ve been playing a lot ofBorderlandslately and can’t help but make the connection to Gearbox’s chosen art style. Garg even threw in a littleIron Manfor good measure, with some sort of light/mirror thing on her hand and gun… sure, why not?
According to the freelance artist’sonline resume, his work has appeared in retail products you might heard of calledThe Beatles: Rock BandandFallout 3.
We know it was just for fun, but we wouldn’t complain if this new bad ass Lara appeared in an upcomingTomb Raidergame. Looks like Eidos alreadyhas that one on lock, though.
