Alright, a super short story this time, less than 1k words. Mad Tony and Luther Rouzic get their unexpected meeting. (Can you guess what the "connection" between these two characters is?) #TombRaider Link: archiveofourown.org/works/89870096

I finally finished writing another #TombRaider one-shot! I'm sure you've always wondered what would happen if Konstantin Heissturm (Kurtis' father) and Skateboard Kid (TR1) met, right? Your questions are now answered! Link: archiveofourown.org/works/89848056

I mean they can't be scared of a dark-skinned villain, right? The last one was literally Dominguez, or Amaru #TombRaider So why not Natla?

Potkanka@potkanka· 20d

Sorry for the shitty photoshop but I have a headcanon that most Atlanteans are actually darker with dark hair too, Natla just got a newfangled blond-hair mutation which lead her to study genetics. But dark hair would look more "natural" on her (she has dark eyebrows, tho that might be make up)

Potkanka@potkanka· 20d

Natla's continued quest to be pale as a ghost I guess. Why are they afraid to give her the tiniest bit of darker skin? Especially if we see Tihocan and Qualopec with darker skin in LoA, just like in Anniversary #TombRaider

"Trusts slowly, reluctantly, and sometimes not at all." Haha this is pretty much the opposite of Classic Lara who trusted anyone pretty much immediately (or at least whatever they were saying) and got tricked easily. Not saying this new thing is bad, just that it's definitely a change #TombRaider

Natla braving the hot weather 😎 I started drawing this during the heat wave but it was too hot to finish 😅 I think the wings would be awesome for some shade! (Also this is technically a scene from a post-AoD fanfic I'm still writing. This is in Cappadocia, from Kurtis' POV.) #TombRaider

A drawing of Jacqueline Natla from Tomb Raider 1. She's crouching on a natural stone column, smiling and relaxed. The view of her is slightly from below. She has red bat wings on her back like in the final battle in TR1, although the cannon is hanging freely on her "tail" rather than attached to her arm. Otherwise she's wearing a tank top, shorts and sunglasses. There's a bottle of coke in her right hand. The sun is shining brightly down on her and the sky behind her is clear.

I didn't finish this yesterday because it was too hot. So, belated happy birthday, Kurtis! 🎂🥳 Also don't ask me about any deeper meaning in this, I just wanted to draw something fun 😁 #TombRaider

A drawing of a three layer cake with lit candles. Little Kurtis, Morgau and Lara are climbing over it.

For Kurtis' birthday... I finally got my Funko Pops! (I ordered them in March😩) It's a shame there's not a Kurtis one, that'd be fitting! #TombRaider

Pictures you can hear #ShadowFlare Has anyone played ShadowFlare? I just downloaded the first episode (all we had back then too). The two most memorable things are the soundtrack and Harley the Dachshund 🥰

A screenshot of the town in Shadowflare, an izometric RPG resembling Diablo. It's fairly low-res and pixelated. The main character has a wolf-like dog who is currently howling. Nearby a healer is standing.

Another screenshot of the town, nearly in the same place. But this time, instead of the wolf-like dog, the character is followed by a light brown dachshund. (Who's not howling in the screenshot but absolutely does so in the game from time to time.)

Potkanka@potkanka· Jun 22

We haven't seen this part in LoA before, right? #TombRaider

Legacy of Atlantis screenshot in Vilcabamba.

One one hand, I don't want random mercs in the game... on the other hand, this better be a random merc and not Pierre 😂 #TombRaider

A screenshot from Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis trailer. Lara is about to take down a large bald man in combat gear. It takes place somewhere in Greece.

Went to buy some tea yesterday - I've currently got thirteen different types of green tea, five of which I haven't tasted before! Something to look forward to😊🫖 Like, if you told me ten years ago I'd care about different types of green tea beyond jasmine and gunpowder, I'd be very sceptical😆

A photo of thirteen packets of loose green tea lying in two rows, plus one small packet lying on the top.
Upper row: Kukicha Yuzu (Yabukita), Temple of Heaven, Mahárádža, Genmaicha (Okumidori), Spring Water, Kokeicha Shizuoka
Lower row: Meng Ding Yun Wu (Cloud Mist), Gunpowder Yulu (Jade Dew), Dragon Bean, Chun Hao, Huang Shan Yun Wu, Lu Shan Yun Wu (Cloud Mist)
The small packet: Pi Lo Chun Imperial

Not sure how to feel about this because on one hand it's clearly Anniversary inspired (whyyy can't the TR1 Atlantean outfits ever get any love?), but on the other hand it accidentally (I assume😂) in a way follows my headcanons about fancy Atlantean (non-royal) outfits 🧐 #TombRaider

Potkanka@potkanka· Mar 12

With how many people asked for this, I feel like it shouldn't be buried in the middle of patch notes (or until people try it in the game and figure it out). Anyway, yeah, level select is finally included 😁 #TombRaider

A part of Tomb Raider I-II-III patch notes. The highlighted part reads: Challenge Mode can be used as a level selector by selecting no modifiers.

Potkanka@potkanka· Mar 12

I know I bought the collector's edition for IV-V-VI already, but... look at it! I needed this matching set! Also there's some stuff in the deluxe edition that isn't in the collector's one. But yeah I think I mostly bought it to match with the I-II-III one 😄 #TombRaider

Also it took me until almost the end of the game to find out that I can switch the type of ammo simply by pressing the number for the currently held weapon again. Oh well 🙃 #TombRaider

A screenshot of Tomb Raider he Last Revelation Remastered. Lara is holding a grenade launcher. At the bottom of the screen, there's the word "Normal" (meaning normal type of grenades) in white colour and in the corner there is number 60, also white, indicating the amount of ammo.

I finally decided to finish #TombRaider The Last Revelation Remastered (Did I stop for almost a year after reaching Cairo? Noooo of course not.) and the mastabas tunnels were everything I hoped them to be!

Tunnels under the mastabas, original graphics. The walls and ceiling are completely flat.

These are all great, but with that name, there's one outfit she should definitely do at some point 😄

I'm usually pretty good at saving often, so the moment I remember the most is trying a no-save run of Temple Ruins and repeatedly dying in one of these two places: The horizontal-blades-and-spiked-walls run and the two-levers-and-spiked-ceiling room near the end. (But I did manage eventually!)

A screenshot from TR3 Temple Ruins: Moving spiked walls, a blade swinging to cut your knees, a perfect deadly combination.

A screenshot from TR3 Temple Ruins: A room with two levers on the walls and a spiked ceiling that will start lowering when you enter. I lightened the gamma a bit because the room is pitch black otherwise.

I'm not sure I have one favourite one, but I think it's quite amazing when after the Maria Doria levels you start in Himalayas, on the crunching snow under the sun. You can almost feel the cold fresh air in your lungs after so much time spent in the dark under the ocean.

Indeed, happy birthday Lara!🎂 I wanted to draw something (but didn't have time🥲) so let's at least all be reminded of one of the best Lara concept arts ever❤️ #TombRaider

A black and white concept art of Lara Croft. She's riding a horse, grinning widely as she glances back behind her at a medieval castle.

Potkanka@potkanka· Feb 11

I got the stuff! 😁 #TombRaider

The boats (Venice and Antarctica) and the most pleasant to control, but the quadbike is just cooler. Perhaps because it was the first TR vehicle I ever tried, and it's in Lara's home too, so there's a fun place to practice riding it😁

Sure, I made tomato soup yesterday... and totally forgot it was Winston's birthday!😱 Luckily I had leftovers so I asked Lara to offer Winston some nice soup for a one-day-late celebration today🎉🍅 #TombRaider

A screenshot from Lara's Home in Tomb Raider 3 Remastered. Winston is standing next to the kitchen table and Lara is putting a plate of tomato soup on the table, in his direction. The soup is the actual tomato soup I made (I know, my photoshop skills are so great you wouldn't be able to tell otherwise.)

Potkanka@potkanka· Feb 7

As I said a couple days ago, this year I left my annual tomato soup for the weekend instead of making it right on Willard's birthday. And I don't think it tasted any worse because of it 😊 #TombRaider

A photo of a plate of tomato soup with a bit of sour cream in the middle, and a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches next to it.

Potkanka@potkanka· Feb 7

Yes! And she has similar hair colour in some Top Cow comics too.

Potkanka@potkanka· Feb 6

Kind of reminds me of this Legend outfit. It looks fine, though of course we can't see as much with this camera. Also I do appreciate that her hair isn't dark brown (it wasn't in the promo pic either, but I still worried).

I don't have a photo of myself, but I have the (probably) oldest drawing of Lara I did. She was always super cool to watch and play as, but I suppose one of her other "jobs" was being a creative inspiration for me - first drawing, soon after also writing.

A childish drawing of Lara and Winston. Above Lara, there is written "Lara Croft". Above Winston, there is written "prdící dědek", which is Czech and means "farting geezer".

Potkanka@potkanka· Feb 4

Who cares about meteorite artifacts when there's tomato soup!🍅 I forgot about Willard's birthday yesterday, so belatedly happy birthday!🥳 I'm planning to make my annual tomato soup at the weekend, so I forgot the day of the actual celebration. Oh well😅 #TombRaider
