@Nexusboltt I actually like the slimmer build! It makes Tarbosaurus feel more distinct from T. rex. Kinda reminds me how many Asian animals seem smaller/lighter built than their relatives elsewhere. Curious about V2, but I really hope you keep this version too!

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@alistersarchive Fair! I just don’t see the leopard as much of an inconsistency if it’s tied to the Colosseum. Leopards were actually used in Roman arenas, so there’s a pretty plausible explanation for its presence here

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@alistersarchive And I doubt the lions are gone. They’re iconic to the original and might simply be saved for the Colosseum itself, where they could get a much bigger and more memorable introduction. The leopard may just be a new addition.

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@alistersarchive I think the Colosseum makes exotic animals like leopards perfectly plausible. What surprises me more is that nobody questions the gorillas 😁They’re arguably the least plausible animals from the original, with no evidence of them being used in Roman arenas.

@Jimmy101jr @tombraider I'd never disrespect her. She's still our Lara. Just a younger, more inexperienced version of the one we're about to see. Everyone has to start somewhere to become who they are. That's why I'm glad her story remains canon while the character moves forward.

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

Survivor Lara has been with us for a long time, and she had her moments. But after the new trailers, I’m honestly glad Tomb Raider is returning to its roots.
It’s time to move on!

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@Crazycrashouts8 I know it’s the same character. I separate them on purpose. Survivor Lara had a very different personality. This finally feels like the developed Lara we were promised a long time ago… and I’m looking forward to that! :)

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@KittyCroftLC @_bubbleti I think that’s a tricky comparison. Kratos deals with gods from ancient mythologies that aren’t actively worshipped anymore. Kali or Shiva are still living deities for millions of people today, so portraying Lara fighting or killing them would probably be far more sensitive.

@infinityTRaider @j3y2f I wouldn’t mind a remake that brings back the best levels from the classic games. Something similar to Chronicles. A retelling of key adventures to bring players up to speed. But that probably won’t happen.

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@MrDeskj @tombraider @CrystalDynamics Stunning! Everything is spot on! Makes me wanna play Tomb Raider 2 again... 🤭

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@J4mes_Cr I’ve known your work for some years. Really an honor! 🤭

A Statement for Clarification: What Is This Art?https://t.co/yv7ul14Uog

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@Lararomanian I explained it in my statement. They’re not wrong. It’s partly AI, partly photoshop, but the scene is built from 3D models.

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@gaming_ribbon Thanks! I’ll have a bit less time now, but there will definitely be more coming 😆 I hope you’ll share something again too! You can use it perfectly as a tool as well!

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@LudarkTomb I used AI to enhance certain elements such as materials and hair at a high render quality. The characters and entire scene are 3D models. AI was used as a tool for specific parts of the process, that's correct, but it didn't do all the work😃

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@LudarkTomb @SynnFusion @Kamillho @naxiid Do you mean the plant that looks odd? Or the whole image? I explained it in the comments somewhere below 😜

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@MrDeskj Thanks mate!

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@Kamillho @naxiid @LudarkTomb Well… that raptor poses are from 2010… don’t blame me for that 😂

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@MrDeskj People condemn AI… rightly so, when it’s used to steal elements from other artists. I use it as a tool to push the image quality high enough that it looks like official artwork. I just like that look. And if others enjoy it too, even better.

[iPac / ReD8ull @iPac03301446]

@SynnFusion @Kamillho @naxiid @LudarkTomb That’s a bush-like plant from the bonus level in TR Anniversary. I grabbed the background like that back then, it’s not some kind of horizon machinery 🤣
