Closet Cosplay – Lara Croft, Tomb Raider

I found these sunglasses at a pharmacy yesterday, I knew what I had to do. This is an idea I’ve been playing with for a while, butch cosplay. Gender non-conforming girls lack role models, and androgynous/masculine women are rarely celebrated. So I thought I’d fix that in some small way, re-interpret pop culture characters as butch and make it beautiful and badass.

It was interesting to see how much I could alter Lara’s design and still have it be recognisable.
