First note....this is NOT intended to represent communism. The hammer and sickle are explained further down....Oh, and there is no connection whatsoever between this Lara and the one with "Croft" for a surname.

Her name is Lara Nuanua. She is the mother of Teuila ([link]) and Sami (the boy in [link]) and Tania. Teuila is from her first marriage, to Nifoloa Aua, the others are from her marriage to Todd "Kerenge" Jackson ([link]). Sadly, during the battles following "The Decimation" on Earth in August 23rd, 2025, Kerenge was killed.

Here, Lara is standing on a field that saw battle. She hold Kerenge's Star Amulet, which has seven points. She has her own Star Amulet, which is the one with four points (Teuila has the one with eight points). Her hair has three braids, although only two are visible. Attached to them is the Silver Star, which she can magically turn into any weapon. Now it's a hammer and two sickles (see? Not intended to be communist at all, there's a sickle too many) She can move her braids like tentacles, because she's a female Nuanua, who has passed the "second puberty." Although I drew it badly, there's a few signs of the battle around her, including upset earth, and even something with a small burn, and pieces of metal. And there's a few rips in her dress, and a wound in her leg. The weather is light rain, but most of the clouds are from the intense combat, there's limited visibility behind Lara. By the way, part of this story line is thanks to my online friend Showstopper. No, he doesn't have a profile here.

Thanks to Timothius ([link]), His "Tassadar" picture at [link] was the inspiration for the pose, and I even attempted to copy his shadow shading technique, although I didn't do that well (that's what the darker part of Lara's left leg (right to us) is, it's not part of some undergarment. The red splotch on the front, that's a bullet wound). Anyways, thanks for the inspiration.

If at first you dont succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
:icontimothius:
Admittedly, that pic of Tass was prolly not the best for a pose reference for a pic of a female since guys have narrower hips than gals. Still, kudos for trying! I suggest studying from photographs for most of your future pics. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about this one! :)
:iconraakone:
Thanks for the pointer. I've used photos for a few of my pics actually. Anyways, I felt inspired by the Tassadar pic to do the pic of my character, Lara Nuanua. Not just the pose, but even the "shadow-shading"...you know what I'm trying to say here? Ok, also the way her dress is covering one leg but not the other because of how they're positioned.

With your heart, can you take me
With your heart, can you break me
With your heart, can you forsake me,
With your heart can you make me.
The world is going crazy, so the more insane you are, the easier it is.
Stereotypes are stupid.

I wonder, do you keep track of all the character's bios, events and etc? Because the detail that you give about the story behind the drawing is awesome.

I wish that I drinked. I know it won't solve my problems, but at least I'll have something to blame my problems on.
