Lara Croft: Body Distortion

Lara Croft has clearly gone through distortion of the human body over the years however she wasn't made this way to only attract the audience through her sexualized appearance. When she was originally created the poly count for video games where much lower than they are today so certain area of the body had to be exaggerated so the player could recognize the femininity of the character and immediately understand the Lara Crofts appearance. Although this was the case there is no denying that she was aimed to attract players through sexuality as she was designed with long legs and a over sized bust and even during game play she was exposed to cold conditions whilst only wearing shorts and tank top.

Her face however during game play was actually at an average quality where anatomy is concerned. This showed the players that she was far more real compared to a cartoon so players could bond with her at a different level.
