Contest entry for 's contest.
..Finally.. This took me almost a month to finish.. x.x
But I am very happy and proud with the result!

I saw that Pendulum likes to explore, and when I hear that word I think 'Tomb Raider'. X3; My favorite levels of all time are Vilcabamba and the Lost Valley. I decided to go with the lost valley.^^
I had two scenes in mind, this one where they just came into the Lost Valley and are looking around. Not knowing the raptors have spotted them and are moving in to attack!
And another one, which I'll submit soon too. (hopefully)
I couldn't decided which of the two to pick and since multiple entries are allowed, I decided to do both.^^

The bg took a very long time to make. x.x I used a different way of shading for it too. The things I personally love the most are the palmtrees.^-^
It's also my first time ever, drawing raptors. And I am very impressed with myself. I didn't think they'd look this good. I love the one jumping and the one luring in the darkness of that ruin...X3 (I used reference from TR; Anniversary for them.)

I had a lot of trouble doing the poses of the characters. I just couldn't get them right. x.x So thankfully ~cabbit-dylan was sweet enough to help me a little. He sketched some base poses for me. Thank you! So I could take it from there.
I don't like how I drew Tilly, her head's too weird, but I love Coral and Pendulum.

XD; sorry for all the info...
I hope you all like it as much as I do.^^
