tombraidergifs: Pokémon isn’t the only franchise turning 20 years old this year. Tomb Raider is also turning the big 2-Oh. Both played a huge part in my childhood and both are doing an exceptionally good job at making me feel old this year. I tried to think of a team for Lara, not necessarily based on stats or types but one that suited her character. Persian is a reference to the Egyptian goddess Bast, a figure that was featured heavily in the original Tomb Raider. Cofagrigus was a no brainer. I chose Ninetails because it’s surrounded by myths and for its combination of beauty, grace and power. Although not a dragon type, Gyarados is a reference to the dragon at the end of Tomb Raider II and like Ninetails seems to just suit Lara. Tyrantrum is of course a reference to the T-Rex from the original Tomb Raider, probably the most iconic foe in the series. And last but not least, I chose Mew because when I was a kid playing Pokémon, Mew was the rarest of the rare. And Lara is highly skilled at finding what others can’t. And it’s shiny to boot. So Happy 20 Year Anniversary to not one but two legendary video game franchises! And here’s to 20 more!This was a lot of fun. Is it super obvious I have zero experience drawing anime? -- source link
