Tomb Raider Xtra : High Resolution Textures for TR1

Artists

John Capon

Born in London, studied for a BA in Fine Art Painting at Wimbledon School of Art mid-to-late 70's. Interests, apart from TR and computer games in general, include studying Qabalah (hope to write on the subject sometime) and making music (hope to actually finish a piece sometime).

My interpretation of Tombraider has a tendency to stray away from the original artwork. I do try to stay fairly faithful, but here and there I can't resist the temptation to throw in some surprises! For the Peru and Rome levels I have created fairly dark textures that seem to heighten the dramatic lighting effects that the original artists achieved. In my version I am attempting to develop the sense of atmosphere that those beautiful, theatrical little level 'sets' originally evoked for me. At the very least, I hope that when I am finished I am judged to have done justice to this magical game!
