"Wow, look at this glow-up. Miss Bacon Lara looks gorgeous."
Doppelganger (a.k.a. Bacon Lara) from Tomb Raider 1. This beauty just needs more love. Made with alcohol markers. Background done in Photoshop. I accidentally smudged the black outline ink above her eye with the back on my hand. It was the last thing to finish and I smudged it :/ It looks like she has eyelashes now. I tried to make it even on the other side as well. Also some ink bleeding here and there. Done as best as I could with my limited colors. Also the scan does not show all the colors how the look on the actual drawing.
As there are various Atlantean units, including the Lara doppelgänger, mummies, and the unused dinosaurs and fishes, I wonder if each one served a distinct purpose within the Atlan workforce and/or army! Here are all the initial ideas I have for each unit:
Based on our Bacon Lara observations, the doppelgänger unit seems to have a stronger psychic connection to the individuals they genetically mimic. However, I'm into the idea that they possess a form of sentience independent from the original, even if it doesn't immediately develop upon creation. I imagine that the Atlans created the doppelgängers based on desirable traits they observed in whoever caught their attention, believing that these copies would greatly benefit their scientifically advanced society.
If we consider the Atlantean dinosaurs and fish as canonical to the lore of Atlantis, they may have served as service animals and steeds for military (and possibly entertainment) purposes. They could've resulted from genetic experimentation on dinosaurian and ichthyic creatures, but rather than rendering them useless, the Atlans might've utilised them for beneficial purposes. I feel like the Atlans strive to make the most out of their environment and test results rather than immediately discarding something without a second thought.
Regarding the mummies, they give off stealth vibes. Perhaps the Atlans used them for stealthy protection purposes!
The centaurs seem like the kinda unit that'd serve as the best and fiercest warriors and gladiators, while the winged ones would conduct aerial tasks, such as delivering important messages.
Crawlers would be the most common type of Atlantean, primarily serving as grunts. They'd be often delegated to land-based warfare and more labour-intensive tasks that regular Atlans might not be capable of handling.
do you ever wonder why things look better without their skin on? do the bones call to you too?

The Doppelganger (also known as Bacon Lara) from TR1 is one of the most unique characters in the Tomb Raider series. She manages to be both cute and kinda gross at the same time! XD

TR2 - Lara's Home with Atlantis Textures
This is so cool! But, well, as Lara’s Doppelgänger, why shouldn’t Bacon Lara have a Bacon Atlantean house? It’d be kind of cute. :)
