Description
I really liked this pose by Eilaire of Lara Croft but felt that the original picture though excellent had a slightly bland background so I made this composite to complement the pose. It's a classic scene with a switch, doorway and fire with dark lighting, just what we would expect to see in Tomb Raider. Obviously the image of 'Lara' I was working with was not the original so the detail was much lower than I would like which made it more difficult to blend it properly but I think the result is not too bad. I didn't want to change anything on Eilaire's image because it didn't need anything done except for adjusting the colour and shading which I made darker in an attempt to match the surroundings. Eilaire was kind enough to allow me to upload this picture without which I wouldn't have uploaded it, it's just a bit of fun and I hope you agree that 'Lara' looks better where she belongs....in a tomb

Actually I thought the original background was artfully done rather than bland. It has that nice shading around the edge, and the colour goes really well with her outfit. But equally it's no bad thing to also place the subject in a tomb for another type of image!
Your picture comes out pretty dark for me, so for example I don't see much detail on the surface of her glove - it's mostly flat black - but maybe my monitor just isn't as bright as yours. Or maybe you indeed wanted things that dark? The edge blending looks mostly fine, but I think the edge of her arm could use a bit more sharpness, especially bearing in mind the comparative sharpness of the background. Actually I think I would've softened the background a bit too, which could give a more realistic look. However, the skin colour matches the background well I think.
PS: You're missing the final 'e' in Eilaire's name.
