In creating our second TOMB RAIDER statue with Crystal Dynamics, we began by crafting a full 3D model of Lara Croft in her finalized outfit to ensure every detail was accurate. Our mission was to honor Lara’s iconic past and acknowledge her evolution, all while keeping her the centerpiece of the statue.

Our next step was developing the base of the statue and its environment, which we would draw inspiration from ancient ruins. The natural overgrowth of jungle vines growing over ancient stone felt like the perfect backdrop for Lara’s adventure, offering a contrast to the Egyptian tomb setting of our first TOMB RAIDER statue. The reference images of temples being overtaken by nature felt true to Lara’s world and added accurate depth to the scene. The crumbling structures and overgrown vines created a journey deep within the jungle, setting the stage for Lara’s next daring adventure.

When it came to Lara’s equipment and accessories, we debated including relics but ultimately decided to let fans imagine her adventure. To that end, we equipped her with interchangeable accessories, allowing fans to choose if she would wield her pickaxe or dual pistols. It was important that we allowed fans to imagine her in the midst of an untold adventure.

Through rounds of detailed paintwork and refinement, we aimed to capture Lara’s next dynamic adventure. She is ready for any challenges that lie ahead, always standing ready and tall against the unknown.
