Contest : Letitia as Lara

Description

So, you see, the awesome amazing totally WOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *orgasm!* :iconchen-san: was running a contest.

And I was all like I CAN HAS A JOIN????? and she was all like, OH KAI!

So I joined! Normally, because I'm a lame procrastinator *rips off her shirt a la Superman and shows everyone the big P symbol meaning THE PROCRASTINATOR OH NOES YOU KNOW MY SECRET IDENTITY!* I tend to avoid contests because of deadlines, and Jess and deadlines tend not to work. But I told myself, okay, you're on vacation, you have lots of time, Chen is awesome, join! I really wanted to do the challenge as well too.

The contest? Draw :iconchen-san: 's character, Letitia, how you perceive her. Now, as you all know, I've previously drawn Lettie as a gift, but I just COULD NOT resist drawing her again for this contest.

You see, the very first time I saw Letitia, I thought of one person. I thought of Lara Croft. I saw Lettie as being like this kickass adventurous sorta person like Lara, and I just simply had to draw it out!

First off, Lara is probably one of the greatest female icons to come to the female sex. Okay, so she might have the chest the size of Manhatten, and she might odd proportions, but DAMMIT! It's about time that we have female characters out there who don't need to be rescued by some guy or whines and complains because her hair is all messy. She's ass kicking, cradle robbing, totally awesomeness! Lara Croft, my friends, is awesome.

Anyway, so I decided for my picture, that I would enter in my rendition of Lettie as, well, Letitia Perez....TOMB RAIDER! This was really fun to do, because the resemblance was just awesome, and plus, it gave me something different to draw as well. I was using a picture of Angelina Jolie as Lara for the pose, but it was really hard to draw since Angie in the second TR movie wore this darker outfit so I had to scour the net for more references of her outfit. I personally like the blue shirt khaki shorts version of Lara (it's old school, what can I say?) so I thought I'd work with that one. I originally was going to put Letitia Perez Tomb Raider on the picture in TR font but...errr...I dropped that idea because I saw EPIC FAIL written all over my face.

Her belt and the gun things were really annoying to draw because I couldn't find any good references and UGH OMFG I CAN'T DRAW GUNS! As you can see, she holds a pathetic looking gun that looks like it was made from a balloon, and I couldn't draw her hand right AT ALL (the one on your right) so I just pretended it was behind her thigh or something and drew the rest of the gun which looks equally as pathetic. And when I TRIED to look for references of guns I didn't get anything worth while that helped me at the angle they were pointed so I just had to PRETEND I had talent and attempted to draw them. OMG. Seriously guys, please ignore the guns. FOR SERIOUSLY PLEASE. Pretend they're bunnies. But those killer bunnies from Monty Python. Yes.

I originally wanted to do something exciting for teh background, but I actually really liked just a solid colour for the background. So I took some black watercolour paint and coloured it. It didn't come out as dark as I had wanted but so I think I'll go over it again when I get the chance. The one darker part of the background right between her hair and her arm DRIVES ME CRAZY. Well regardless, I still like this one. I could have done a better job with the inking, and of course, the guns...

It's not that I CAN'T draw them. I just can't draw them right without a reference, and finding a reference picture of a gun at the angles they are at, was next to impossible 0.0 I tried to colour them dark enough so that I didn't have to worry about them looking too bad. *rolls eyes* Once again I failed epicly.

Ah well, I hope she likes it anyway. I made her hair too long, but I still like how it came out anyway for the most part. A lot of things I still find wrong with it, but as long as :iconchen-san: likes it then thats all that matters! :D

It was fun to do, since I've only entered like one other contest aside from this one. And that was a long time ago. Maybe I should stop being so lazy and enter moar? XD

Welp, I hope you like it Chenny! :D It was a lot of fun! :D

And, as always, if you get the chance....NO NO NO DO IT NOWWW ACTUALLY!... go visit :iconchen-san: 's amazing gallery full of orgasmic art attacks. Seriously. You'll scream because of all the awesome and then you'll run around the room and then scream some more and then have a heart attack from so much orgasm. She's just THAT awesome.

Anyhoo, Letitia here is © to :iconchen-san: , while Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, and all related is © (correct me if I'm wrong) Eidos :D
