Whilst desperately flailing around for a post on short notice, just realized that I've never shown anything from the whooooole bunch of Tomb Raider design sketches I cranked out for the sadly defunct videogame magazine PSM back in 2003 or so. Much like the RPG-related article I contributed to a few years earlier, this time around I worked up a bunch of design ideas for a somewhat technologically upgraded version of Tomb Raider:

Nonetheless, there is something interesting about the pose concept above, which I have to admit is arguably more compelling than the final roughβwhich you'll be seeing in our next Designs Ahoy installment three or so weeks from now. Yay?
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?
