Bonus Stage: Tomb Raider Special Edition

Welcome once again to another edition of Bonus Stage! Bonus Stage is your regular dose of gaming goodness, where we bring you the finest game inspired art, videos , cosplay, music and more!  If you’ve created or found something you’d like to see featured in Bonus Stage drop me a line via twitter: @misterchristor, and maybe it will feature in a future installment.

Let’s face it- Lara Croft is the most iconic video game character since Mario and Sonic. Which is why this edition is dedicated entirely to the Tomb Raider series, to celebrate this week’s launch of the long-awaited latest game in the series!

It’s little surprise that so many Cosplayer want to be Lara: sexy, strong and independent, she’s one of the definitive kick-ass ladies in entertainment full-stop- let alone the gaming world.

Super Power Beatdown: Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake

If this awesome picture from Raf Marinetti is anything to go by, Nate and Lara got over their differences and teamed up. Who wouldn’t want to play this game?

Illyne is a fantastiqué artist/Cosplayer from Le France who has been capturing the spirit of Lara perfectly in her cosplays for some time. She’s also taken some wonderful pictures based on the Reboot, like this one here. Mon Dieu!

And here’s some of her art. Impressive Non?

Lara plays Video Game Music features the super-talented Aussie playing music from your favourite games, movies and more, so it was only a matter of time before she did the Tomb Raider theme!

In the completion for the world’s most dedicated Lara fan and Cosplayer then the one and only Tanya Croft must surely take the crown. Having taken hundreds of pictures in character (in every variety you can think of) she’s got it down to an art. Be sure to check out her gallery for many more brilliant sets.
