Tomb Raider Forums is mobilising a brand new competition to celebrate Lara Croft's upcoming romp in Tomb Raider Underworld. Our very own Elysia has inked a stunning drawing of Lara Croft posing in front of Mayan ruins. The challenge is to colour the artwork.

Please upload your entries to www.tinypic.com and post to this thread. You may submit as many entries as you like. The competition will run from now through to the end of July. Keir Edmonds, Eidos' chief community PR guru and an Administrator with deviantART, will select a winner once the duration of the competition has concluded.

The winning artist will score a framed copy of the original artwork, penned, coloured and signed by Elysia. Runner up prizes to be announced. More of Elysia's fabulous work can be viewed here and on her official deviantART profile. All entries will also be showcased on www.tombraiderchronicles.com in our Fan Content microsite.

Good luck, and happy colouring!

All entries will be showcased on www.tombraiderchronicles.com. The judges word is final and no negotiations will be entered into.

EDIT: To avoid a lot of repeatative questions:

WHEN you open the image in your image editing program - you will be able to work only with shades of grey. This is because the original is only black and white, because of this the image is automatically put in Greystyle mode. To fix this and be able to work with colours, you simply need to change the mode to RGB.

For Photoshop you can do it like this:
