Stunning Illustrations Featuring Some of Gaming's Leading Women

We have something great for all of you Tomb Raider, Skyrim and Mass Effect fans out there!

Check out this amazing artwork done by Tansy Appleby on DeviantArt. It features some of gaming’s favorite female characters posing and ready for action. Appleby has truly captured the essence of each character, meanwhile bringing a touch of realism to them.

While looking at this I couldn’t help but think once again that we need more female leads. Yeah, yeah, I know that gaming is a predominately male area. But still, it wouldn’t hurt to have a little variety. I mean heck, look at Tomb Raider, who ISN’T amped up for the upcoming game?! It just goes to show you, with the right character development, it could work.

Who’s your favorite female gaming character?
