SOTTR | Tomb Raider 2013 Re-envisioned WIP

Added 2024-05-14 01:53:40 +0000 UTC

This is a work-in-progress outfit set of my take on Lara's origin story and how she would have looked. I took a little more creative liberty with this one than the Rise re-envisioned to appropriately showcase Lara's re-written backstory that will be referenced in the overhaul mod.

I have always thought that Lara epitomises the 1990s, and even to this day should be somewhat ambiguously set in that decade. To reflect that, I have given her 90s casual look that portrays an in-experienced, unassuming young woman being forced into a challenging situation and having to survive. Instead of focusing on her looking tactical and ready for combat (like modern Tomb Raider does), I wanted to reference elements of what makes Tomb Raider so special - specifically, the platforming! What better way to do that than looking like a skilled and capable rock climber ready to traverse any kind of terrain?

There are three variations of this outfit:

Pre-crash -

Post-Crash -

Geared up -

Points to whoever gets the Harvard Sweater reference! Initially I had planned to make her look more rough and tumbled with bandages, wounds and dirt, however for the purpose of it being set in the Shadow storyline, I decided to keep her clean.

An update to the overhaul mod will be released later this week which will include this outfit. As always, thank you for your continued support and enjoy!
