Right? 🫠 And they shared more of their wisdom and I think I need to run away from this conversation before I cry (I got one old TRLE I want to finish playing anyway)
Two more YouTube comments. First reads: but it's not a game, it's just random levels put together, it's not a game, I want a full game with storyline and cutscenes, not just some nonsensical level someone threw together The second comment reads: and I use my pc for work and whatnot, I'm not going to use it to play a videogame on, that's like using a Ferrari to go on a long road trip, videogames are for consoles designed and ready to play, I had a friend who played on pc, he always needed to install stuff or make sure the game worked and whatnot, while I just buy a game, put it in my console and it works immediately because it's designed for it

That disrespect to TRLE though! 😦 #TombRaider
A YouTube comment that says: "I'm talking about official releases that I can play on my console. I don't play videogames on a pc, that's ridiculous, and I want real polished releases , not some messy fan made levels"

One of my favourite drawings from the video. I didn't realise quite how dramatic the lighting would have to be when I first decided to put a lightning in the background 😄
Also, badass Morgau plus the torn Lux Veritatis flag, love how it came out😁
#TombRaider

video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQfN...
A drawing of Morgau Vasiley, crouching on a crumbling stone wall and looking inside with a serious expression. Her hair is whipping in the wind and she is leaning on a broken part of the wall with her left hand.. She's holding a folded map in her right hand. There is a torn up flag with the Lux Veritatis symbol hanging on a wall on the left, flying in the wind. Behind Morgau, there is a night sky, with a lightning zig zagging through the dark blue. It gives Morgau a very dramatic lighting as it lights her up from behind. At the top, there are written lyrics "And leave the tempest behind you" from the song Chase the Light by Moonlight Haze.

I'm getting close to releasing the AoD video (after shuffling fractions of seconds for two days😭). I'm so glad to be finally pretty much finished😁 #TombRaider
A drawing of Lara and Kurtis walking away from each other. Lara is walking to the right, smiling slightly at Kurtis while holding a map. Kurtis is going to the left, smirking towards Lara. He has two Periapt Shards. It's a loose recreation of the end of the airlock cutscene from AoD. In between them, there are lyrics that say "Go seize the day!"

I'm actually getting close to finishing this project, yay! It started (in August!) as an idea to draw a couple drawings to go together with a part of a song, so of course I ended up doing the whole song😅 So it's like a... slideshow music video? And this is picture number 13 out of 75 😁 #TombRaider
A drawn scene from the beginning of Angel of Darkness. Lara is jumping off the edge of a building at night, with a helicopter shining its light on her. Lara is in her denim outfit. Around her are the lyrics "Chase the light, don't you hide".

#InkTomber2025 - Day 31 - Trick or Threat!

How can Lara be sure what's a Halloween decoration and what is a real threat? Must be a stressful time of the year!

Hope your day isn't stressful though. Happy Halloween!🎃

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Lara, with hunched shoulders and pistols drawn, is glancing behind her with a worried expression. Behind her are a ghost with a pumpkin head, a skeleton and three bats. All are hanging on strings, so they are probably Halloween decorations. Probably...

#InkTomber2025 - Day 30 - T-Rex Hex

I... I don't know. Magic. Evil magic. Silly magic. (Body horror magic.)

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Lara is running away screaming, she has tiny T-Rex arms instead of her own. A T-Rex runs after her, it has Lara's arms instead of its own (including the fingerless gloves) and is holding Lara's pistols, aiming at her.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 29 - Secrets of Ms. Croft's Fridge

How in the world did *that* get in here?

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Lara is standing in front of an open freezer and looking inside. One hand is on the door, the other is scratching her head. Inside the freezer, we can see a silhouette of frozen Natla, as seen in the Scion flashback in TR1.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 28 - Terrible Trophies

Ah, oops? 🤭

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Winston and Lara are on the ground, with strange pointy double tails instead of legs. That is, they are mutated like the crawling mutants in TR3 Antarctica. Lara looks rather shocked, Winston is giving her a side eye. In the background, all five meteorite artifacts from TR3 are on display.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 27 - Possession of Samantha Nishimura

Have some completely batshit Sam I guess😆 (Based on the comics when Himiko actually took over Sam's body.)

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Sam Nishimura, laughing madly. Her eyes are black with white pupils and there are craggy black lines coming from her eyes, occasionally branching, like some strange veins. They are most concentrated on her face, but also visible everywhere else on her skin.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 26 - Obscura Family Dinner

I don't think Brother Obscura actually had a family considering his history, but when you're stuck in an underground tomb with a bunch of skeletons, why not make a family out of what you can? (No food tho 'cause they're dead.)

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Brother Obscura is sitting at the head of a table, on both his left and right there is a skeleton sitting in tattered clothes. All three have an empty plate and a goblet in front of them.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 25 - Flesh-Eating Medipack

@ladycroft-cz.bsky.social I consider this prompt a personal attack 😑

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Lara with an unimpressed expression is standing ramrod straight, with one leg kicking forward. A medipack with frowny eyes and a toothy mouth in place of the cross symbol is flying, kicked away by Lara.

Wait I need to share the last screenshot of the playthrough as well because it has the perfect background 😂 #TombRaider
A screenshot of a PC screen with Firefox open where it's opened on Stella's Walkthroughs page. On top on it there's a Glidos window running Tomb Raider 1. There, Lara is standing at the top of the last slope in the last level.

Happy 29th anniversary to #TombRaider 1!🥳 I actually played it for the first time in 2008 (it wasn't my first TR by far) so I thought it would be fun to share my first screenshot from my first playthrough. I debated cropping just the window but... nah, let's keep it authentic to how I played😆
A screenshot of a PC desktop (Windows XP) with solid blue wallpaper and some icons to the left. In the middle there is a Glidos window with Tomb Raider 1 running on it. Lara is in the first level, Caves, finding the first greenery.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 24 - Marco Bartoli's Dragon Hoard

Bartoli's most precious treasure are, obviously, his loyal cult members! ☺️

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Marco Bartoli in his dragon form is lying down, eyes closed and smiling. With his whole body he's encircling his Fiamma Nera underlings who're huddled together and also smiling.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 23 - Kurtis Trent's Telekinesis Tips

Morgau never had a formal Lux Veritatis education and there's no-one but Kurtis left... So he went all in! And maybe he's just having a bit of fun with this😆 He got dressed up and everything!

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Kurtis is standing next to a board, pointing at it with a pointer. There are some graphs and writing on the board. Kurtis is dressed in a shirt, a vest and pants and he's talking seriously, his eyes currently closed. In front of him and the board is a desk with one chair. On it sits Morgau, her right hand's elbow is leaning on the desk and her chin resting in her hand. She looks extremely bored as she stares at the board.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 22 - We've All Got Laser Eyes Now

Perhaps a secret hard mode. For those who find TR3 too easy, ya know?

#InkTomber #TombRaider
In the foreground, on the right, Lara is hiding behind a large rock. She's sitting with her pistols drawn and her eyes turned in the direction of what she's hiding from, which are a snake, a tiger and a monkey on a tree branch. All of them are shooting laser beams towards the large rock.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 21 - Pierrson, The Two-Headed Hydra

Being permanently physically stuck with Larson would be a nightmare sometimes😂

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Larson and Pierre as heads on long scaly necks that share a body. Pierre is mostly straight up, with his head leaning down to watch Larson in worry. Larson has his own neck wrapped around Pierre's and continues moving as he excitedly follows a butterfly. If he continues for just a bit longer, it looks like he'll start strangling Pierre.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 20 - Lara's Haunted Manor

Come on, you know it was coming. Of course it's Winston. He's... he's actually coming... he's right behind you!😱

#InkTomber #TombRaider
A Fiamma Nera member is sneaking through Lara's home, his pistol drawn. In the direction he's going, there's an open doorway to his right. In the doorway, we can see Winston standing in such a way that half of his face (and body) is hidden behind the door frame. He doesn't seem happy.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 19 - Yamatai Yōkai

I had to look it up to realise that the Stormguard are the only yōkai on the island. Huh. Oh well. Have a Stormguard archer, based on the concept art.

He's throwing up a peace sign because he (I) didn't know what to do with his hands🤷‍♀️

#InkTomber #TombRaider
A Stormguard archer in full armour. His legs are wider apart, his left hand is on his hip and he's throwing up a peace sign with his right hand. He's looking at the camera (presumably - we can't actually see his face under the mask).

#InkTomber2025 - Day 18 - Little Demons, Unionize!

Yes, unionize to demand safer (iron-less) working conditions! (Idk who'd be their boss though.)

#InkTomber #TombRaider
Eight little demons from TR5 (Black Isle) are running around a campfire with their hands up, some holding protest signs. Two of the protest signs have their pictures visible. On one there is a crossed out iron clapper - the object Lara uses in the game to banish them. On the other sign is a crossed out "Fe", the chemical symbol for iron.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 17 - What in the Labyrinth?!

Perhaps the Caves of Kaliya (in India) and the Labyrinth (in Ireland) are connected if you go deep enough🤔

#InkTomber #TombRaider
The drawing is a hallway going straight forward away from the camera. It has turns left and right along it, hinting at a maze. In the foreground is young Lara, turned away from the camera as she looks around a corner, towards the background. There, peeking at her from behind another corner, is Tony from TR3, waving at her enthusiastically with a big grin. He has the Infada Stone embedded in his chest. Above Lara are the three little guiding lights from the Labyrinth level in TR5.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 16 - Zombie Zip

Zip isn't technically a real zombie here, but he's been substituting sleep for coffee for the last couple of days, so you be the judge.

#InkTomber #TombRaider
A drawing of Zip and Lara. On the left is Zip, pouring coffee into his mug. His face is turned towards Lara and he has sunken features and bags under his eyes. Lara, on the left, is holding a cup of tea and is staring at Zip with very wide surprised eyes.

#InkTomber2025 - Day 15 - Voncroycula, the Greatest Archaeologist Vampire

TR4 where everything is the same, only Von Croy is a vampire for some reason. You can't tell Seth possessed him because his eyes were red from the start😅

#InkTomber #TombRaider
A redreaw of the first cutscene from TR4, where young Lara peeks out from behind Von Croy in Cambodia. Only this Von Croy is shrouded in a long cloak with a wide, high collar and he has fangs. He does still have his canonical hat though.
