Tomb Raider Celebrates 15 Years With A Unique Digital Art Exhibition
October has finally arrived, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this pet project with you!
Tomb Raider was first unleashed on the world in October 1996, manifested from fantasy to reality by creator Toby Gard and the talented crew at Core Design. Little did they know how successful their adventurer would become; skyrocketed to a household name within the year and carving a place in history as a pop-culture icon transcending the gaming space.
To celebrate the 15-year anniversary Crystal Dynamics is playing curator to a unique digital art exhibition, commissioning eight original pieces by a selection of esteemed artists. The pieces will showcase the new vision for Lara Croft, whilst embracing the individual style of each participating artist.
We’re kicking off the month with one of my personal favorite artists – Andy Park. Tomb Raider fans know Park as the primary penciler behind the Top Cow Tomb Raider comics. We’ll conclude the month with a much-anticipated piece by Toby Gard himself. The artists between will remain a surprise!
Additionally, during the month of October a series of events will be held to mark the celebration, including a signing by a participating artist at New York Comic Con on October 14. As a finale to the month-long event, a limited selection of T-shirts and posters will be available for purchase from The Nerd Machine with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Child’s Play charity.
Make sure to visit Tombraider.com/15 every Monday and Friday throughout October for another tribute, ready to adorn your desktop or favorite mobile device. Thanks to Hiptic.com for the wonderful splash page!
I hope you all enjoy the pieces of art we’ve commissioned – this project began as a tribute to Tomb Raider, but also as a tribute to fans. We would have little to celebrate without you. Crystal Dynamics, and Core Design before us, know how important the support of franchise followers has been throughout the years. I say with all sincerity – Thank you.

Stunning Tomb Raider gameplay
Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider reboot was one of the best things at this years E3. The new Lara is looking great and Crystal D is stepping up their game like no other developer this E3 has. Microsoft’s E3 presser showcased a little bit of guided gameplay but the real bread and butter are these new 5 mins of gameplay showcasing some environmental traversal. Skip 5 mins in to see the new stuff.
Wow. Speaking of talented artists, check out this amazing comic-inspired mural by illustrator Gyurka Balázs. He notes that it took him five months to complete. You can see all of the progress pictures in his DeviantArt gallery!

Crystal Dynamic’s Tomb Raider E3 looks great, but that Fall 2012 is more than a little heartbreaking. Oh well, there’s more than plenty coming this Fall.
Check out the new and improved Lara Croft in these new shots of Tomb Raider.
