It was one of a few small uncolored ascii screen captures and pen drawings that I sent to a Tomb Raider fan site (dead now I think) about eight months ago. Some of the drawings soon had nude interpretations (For every piece of Lara Croft art on the web you can bet there's at least one x-rated copy, so I rather expected it.), but sexii's was the first ascii one I've seen. As for the sexii art, it certainly is extreme for my taste, but I find it not so much offensive as juvenile and silly (sillii?); nothing worth concerning myself with. [We all had to have a good peek at them though, didn't we?]. This is part of a series called The Essence of Lara Croft, a figure each for blood, sweat, tears, nerves, brains, etc. This is the only one done. A couple are half finished, the rest I've never even started. I haven't worked on any Tomb Raider art for a long time. I wasn't planning on posting it until I had the entire set done, but since the sexii post I've been barraged by emails requesting the original. (Five is a barrage isn't it?) (p.s. if you see any more x-rated copies of my stuff, please don't email them to me again. It really isn't necessary that I see it.) --- | | | | _______ ______ | / - \/ - \ | / / _ \| /_ \ \ | / _\ | \ | Sweat / / \ /| \ \ \ | / / / | |/ )\ \ | // ( / \ |/_ \ \) | ( / ( __ |_/_ __) () | /) // /( ) ) )/ \) (\(\ \ ( | | ( / (\( ( ( u ( ) \ )) | ) ( ) u ( ( ) ) ) ( / | ( / \) ) u u ((( ( | ) ( -=( /==, ,======- ) )) | \( ) )) ((/ | )( \_((_/ \____/ )( | )!
