You can't spell TOMB RAIDER without BRAID

We may never get Lara's iconic braid back, but we shall never forget it. This is a blog dedicated to a hairdo.

I created this side blog to focus on my art and so far all the posts are old drawings or from my old blog, so here’s a new drawing, and ofcourse its Lara Croft :)

Now I want to see a Tomb Raider anime with Lara sporting this braid.

Now this might be the most original braid I’ve ever seen on Lara. Looks pretty cool, doesn’t it?

Tomb Raider Classic Cosplay by Elen-Mart

I don’t even know how I should call this hairstyle - I assume it’s not a braid as it’s not braided - but it’s one we see occasionally on cosplayers. And on more than one official model, if you remember. It’s clear why it is so: Lara in TR1-TR5 renders did sport a braid that looked like a chain of sausages ponytail with many hair ties at regular distances from each other.

Anyway, I don’t think there’s any of us who would not accept this hairstyle just as happily as a (braided) braid. Just look at this cosplayer, I mean it’s beautiful! Well, it’s an amazing cosplay as a whole (nice touch with the dragon statue), but I couldn’t not notice the hair. Honestly, as if anyone could.

So I am drawing Lara and my 12 y/o sister looks at it and goes: “Oh, she has a braid? It looks weird, I’m more used to the ponytail...”

MY NIGHTMARES ARE COMING TRUE! YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE SEEING PONYTAIL AS THE “DEFAULT” ONE! NOOO!
