THE OFFICIAL ART
OF TOMB RAIDER BOOK
Dreams and Visions Press Release
[ May 17th 2008 ]
Dreams
and Visions Press, a boutique publishing firm
located in Campbell, California, has announced
its follow up release to the critically acclaimed
Art of Ralph McQuarrie compendium. The sophomore
effort will showcase artwork from one of the video
game industry's preeminent franchises, Tomb
Raider.
Concentrating
on Lara Croft's
adventures in the digital world, the book will
encompass artwork from the video game franchise
spanning its inception to the latest next generation
game, Underworld. The book will coincide with
the release of the next generation game in late
2008.
Among
other artists, the book will contain early sketches
from Lara Croft's creator Toby Gard, as well as
never-seen-before storyboards, concept sketches,
production art, and finished renderings. Eidos
and Crystal Dynamics are working closely with
Dreams and Visions Press to ensure that the legacy
of Lara Croft is properly manifested and translated
into print form.
"We are
excited to finally offer this sort of tribute
to Lara and her 12 successful years of raiding
tombs around the world," says Lara Croft creator
Toby Gard of Crystal Dynamics. "It's an excellent
opportunity to showcase many of the artists' work
who bring Lara's adventures to life in such a
brilliant and vibrant form."
