近期关注本站的网友或许已经注意到我们金秋9月为大家推出的“古墓丽影粉丝艺术画展示”月活动：我们将在本月集中向中国玩家推荐一些世界各地古墓丽影粉丝创作的优秀艺术作品，而我们九月份的专访对象 - “古墓丽影帝国（Tomb Raider Empir）”正是古墓丽影粉丝圈中非常有影响力的艺术创作群体。他们的古墓丽影艺术作品风格独特，画风精美，受到了成千上万古墓丽影玩家喜爱，其中大部分作品还被古墓丽影官方和水晶动力工作室所转载并赞扬，而这一切荣耀的背后跟他们常年对古墓丽影系列的忠实支持和坚持不懈创作高质量艺术作品有极大关系。
“古墓丽影帝国”群体的3位创立者：Ahmad、Ana和Inna也是【古墓丽影阿拉伯】网站的站长，这是为数不多提供双语支持（英文和阿拉伯文）的古墓丽影官方粉丝网站。【古墓丽影阿拉伯】网站收录的内容非常丰富，主站长Ahmad为网站坚持不懈的付出让其在短短3年内就吸引了全世界众多古墓丽影粉丝和官方的关注。另外两名站内合作伙伴Ana和Inna同时也是古墓丽影粉丝圈内非常有影响力的美术家，如上所述，她们两人的多幅“古墓丽影/劳拉”美术作品被官方和其他国家的粉丝网站转载。
同为圈内人士，主站长Ahmad及两名伙伴Ana和Inna都非常爽快地接受了我们的专访，除为我们介绍他们网站的来源和现状外，还为我们提供了他们的古墓丽影美术作品，分享给中国玩家。
大家可以到古墓丽影阿拉伯官方粉丝网站做更多关于古墓丽影资讯的浏览：www.tombraiderarabia.com。也可以在推特和Tumblr上加入他们创建的“古墓丽影帝国（Tomb Raider Empire）” 社交网络获得全方位的古墓丽影信息。
以下为主站长Ahmad专访内容：
记者：能向中国玩家介绍一下你自己和你们的官方粉丝网站吗？你们是什么时间开始建立古墓丽影官方粉丝网站的？又是什么原因促使了你建立网站？（Could you talk about yourself and your website? Such as when and how did you decide to build a fan site?）
Ahmad：我叫Ahmad，来自阿拉伯联合酋长国，我从1995年开始就是古墓丽影迷了，那个时候好多游戏杂志在谈论古墓丽影。1996年我的兄弟买了索尼的PS游戏机，我当时看他玩古墓丽影，97年我买了自己的PS游戏机就正式开始了我的古墓丽影旅程。
建立古墓丽影粉丝网站一直是我的梦想，但是之前觉得自己时间有限，虽然我认为自己对古墓丽影系列很了解，但是看到很多人都在做古墓丽影粉丝网站，我觉得没有再添加的必要。2011年的时候我的好友Ana和Inna邀我去写一些关于DeviantArt（国际性在线艺术社区）中古墓粉丝艺术作品的文章，然后2013年的时候受水晶动力之邀，我参加了官方活动并见到了古墓丽影游戏阿拉伯的配音演员，从那时起我决定建立阿拉伯网站，随后联系了水晶动力申请成为官方粉丝网站。
（My name is Ahmad from United Arab Emirates, I'm a fan since 1995 since they start to talk about the game in magazines for the first time ,1996 my brother bought the playstation console and I used to watch him playing Tomb Raider , in 97 I owned a playstation myself and that was my start with the series , the site was one of my dreams but I did not have much time for that even thought I have a good knowledge in the series but I didn't feel the need to open a site cause there's a plenty of them and I won't add more ,in 2011 I was asked by my dearest friends Ana and Inna to write Tomb Raider news for the Group on DeviantArt. tomb-raider-empire.deviantart.com , then in 2013 I was invited by Crystal Dynamics to an event to reveal the Arabic voice actress , from that point I decided to start an Arabic website and contact Crystal Dynamics to become an official）
记者：你们的网站针对的玩家人群是哪里的？(Who do you feel is your primary target audience for your fan site?)
Ahmad：我的网站针对的玩家是所有懂阿拉伯语和英语的人群。我致力于通过这两种语言提供给玩家最好的新闻，我之前也计划加上西班牙语，但是我的西班牙不算流利。
(My site for anyone who can read Arabic or English , I tried my best to provide the news in both languages to reach more fans , I was planing to write also in Spanish but I'm not fluent in the language)
记者：我们注意到你们网站的信息量非常广泛，例如视频、新闻、美术作品等，你最关注并最引以自豪的是哪个领域？你的收集信息的渠道是从何而来？(We notice you have very diverse collection of Tomb Raider information, such as videos, news, artworks, etc. Do you have any particular area or piece that you take the most pride in? How do you collect those resources?)
Ahmad：我最引以为豪的是我的古墓丽影收藏品。我自从1997年开始收藏，我是唯一一个阿拉伯国家收藏古墓丽影的玩家。我的收藏品大多数来自拍卖或者私人交易。
(I'm proud of my collection I have been collecting since 1997 also especially that I'm the only Arabic person to have such a collection for Tomb Raider , I got most of my collection from auction sites or private dealers)
记者：和你们一样，我们也一直关心致力于建设古墓丽影粉丝网站，以提供最好最新的古墓丽影信息给中国的玩家。但是我们在建立的过程中碰到例如语言和社交媒体的阻碍，对你们来说，最大的阻碍或者挑战又是什么呢？你们是怎么解决这些问题的？(same as you, we have been focusing on bring the best Tomb Raider news/information to the fans in China. However, we do have difficulties when it comes to language and social media barriers. What is the biggest barrier you have experienced while building the site? How do you solve such a problem?)
Ahmad：目前为止我唯一的障碍是吸引新的访客，我所能做的就是时时刻刻关注社交媒体，跟所有人做好沟通，即使是在使用翻译的情况下，我也会尽力提供最好的视频、图片、新闻和攻略。
（The only barriers I face was trying to do something new and attract visitors , being active as much as I could on social media , try to communicate with everyone , even if I had to use a translate , recording videos to provide best quality, also providing fans with images ,news and walkthrough)
记者：你跟我提过你曾经到访过中国，你喜欢中国吗？有没有未来再次到中国旅行的计划？(You mentioned that you visited China before, how did you like it? Will you plan to come for visit again in the future?)
Ahmad：中国是个伟大的国家，中国人民非常友好，中国有着非常悠久的历史文化，任何一个对考古感兴趣的人都会想去中国看一看。我相信未来我肯定会再去中国旅行的，我很爱这个国家，我还希望有机会去上海的迪斯尼玩。
(China is an Amazing country with really friendly people , Rich with history , a good place for anyone who is interested in archaeology like me , I'm sure I will be visiting China again in the future I just I love it , I'm also hoping to visit DisneyLand in shanghai)
以下为Ana和Inna专访内容：
记者：你们分别是从什么时候开始接触古墓丽影游戏的？最喜欢哪一部游戏？喜欢的原因？(When did you start playing Tomb raider game? Which Tomb Raider game is your favorite? Why?)
Ana：我第一次玩古墓丽影大概只有11或12岁左右，那个时候我得到了一台索尼PS游戏机作为生日礼物。我的表亲送给我这台酷酷的游戏机还有《古墓丽影4》游戏，我们第一次玩就爱上这个游戏了。后来我的朋友陆续收集到了4部古墓丽影游戏，这些游戏伴随我们成长有10多年，也是花了10年的功夫一一攻破这些游戏的，哈哈。
Ana: I started playing when I was about 11 or 12 and got a PS1 for my birthday. My cousin brought this cool new game home one day (Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation) and I loved it since we first tried it. Soon my friend got all the 4 games and we never stopped playing TR since, though it took us about a decade til we grew up and beat the games haha
Inna:许多古墓丽影的忠实粉丝打小就玩古墓丽影游戏，但是我的第一部古墓丽影游戏是《古墓丽影十周年》，所以我算是个后来客，不过我随后把所有的经典古墓丽影游戏都补了回来，古墓丽影世界一直牵动着我的心。我最喜欢的是《古墓丽影2》里惊心动魄的冒险旅程。还有《古墓丽影：黑暗天使》，虽然这部游戏很有争议，但是若游戏本体能再做得尽善尽美也是一个非常成功的游戏，我觉得《黑暗天使》填补了情节上的空白，渴求揭露真相和秘密，这不正是古墓丽影的灵魂所在吗？
Inna: Many hard core fans have been playing TR since their childhood, but my very first TR game was Anniversary. So I was pretty late to the party, but after that I've played all the classic ones and world of Tomb Raider just took my heart once and for all. My all time favorites are TR2 with all the thrilling adventurous stuff happening there and exciting versatile locations. And Angel of Darkness which, despite being hugely critiqued upon, was really a great base for a phenomenal game had it enough time to be finished. But filling in the plot gaps and figuring out those mysteries that the game amply left just adds up to the thirst for uncovering secrets which is in the heart of every true TR fan, right?
记者：劳拉克劳馥是如何激励你们的？你觉得你自己和劳拉有没有相同之处？(How does Lara Croft inspire you? Do you see any of your own personality with in Lara Croft?)
Ana：无法言喻。还是小孩子的时候劳拉就一直激励着我。许多人说她聪慧、性感、坚强。我非常同意，不过让我最欣赏她的还是她酷酷的本质。
Ana: I can't really tell. She's been inspiring me with her awesomeness since I was a kid, so I may be more nostalgic about it than I am reasonable. A lot of people say it's because she's intelligent, sexy, strong, etc. Those are all true but I'll just have to go with badass. It's why I liked her in the first place!
Inna:劳拉·克劳馥的确是一个非常与众不同的角色。她是一个集智慧、坚强、聪明和魅力于一身的偶像，她还很有幽默感。让我精确的描述古墓丽影世界的话，那就是一个充满了刺激的冒险旅程！一切不需要多么真实，你需要的就是享受冒险的乐趣。飞流的雕塑，沉船中隐藏的机关，永不落幕的巨石流，这些都是劳拉坚持追求探索的目的。带上我吧！这都是我们钟爱古墓和冒险的原因。这个奇妙的神秘世界充满了各种秘密和如画的美景，一直都是我个人灵感的艺术源泉。每当我陷入创作低潮时，劳拉一直是启动我创作灵感的引擎。
Inna: Lara Croft really is a unique and fantastic character. She is both a role model to aspire to with her intelligence, strength, cleverness and charm, and she's so amusing to make fun of. Logics of Tomb Raider world - or vast lack of it, to be precise - is just what you're seeking in an exciting adventure! You don't want things to be realistic, you just want to have fun. Flying statues, conveniently hidden keys in the corners of long sunk ships, never ending stream of boulders that must have a crazy crush on Lara for chasing her so persistently, and many more. Sign me up! That's the thrill of adventure and what makes us love TR games so much. This fantastic mysterious world full of secrets and picturesque locations has always been a huge source of inspiration for my personal art and this is smth I always turn to when my creative engines start running low. Lara Croft is my muse in many ways.
记者：你们二人在【古墓丽影阿拉伯】网站的站内任务是什么？(How do you assist with Tomb Raider Arabic? What are your roles for building the site?)
Ana: Ahmad是我们的朋友和合作伙伴，我们一直都是一起共同合作，最早的时候是在DeviantArt群，我们的群名是“tomb-raider-empire.deviantart.com(古墓丽影帝国）”。他对古墓丽影非常了解，也是社交媒体的专家，所以他是我们对外宣传的主力军。他给予我们非常大的支持， 后来他也创建了Youtube和Tumblr主页，也是打理的很成功（这些都是他个人的功劳），最后他创立了【古墓丽影阿拉伯】粉丝官网，都是他的最爱。
Ana: Ahmad is our friend and our collaboration started with the first thing we ever did together, which was opening an art group on DeviantArt. It's tomb-raider-empire.deviantart.com. He knows everything about Tomb Raider, has been an expert on social media networking before we even dreamed of expanding outside of DA, and we just kind of agreed he'd be our go-to guy when it comes to all cool things Tomb Raider :D He's been an enormous source of help and awesomeness <3 In time he opened a Youtube and Tumblr account and has been managing them successfully ever since (and that's his brainchild, we can't take any credit for that!), and after that he opened Tomb Raider Arabia. It's also his baby!
Inna:【古墓丽影阿拉伯】粉丝官网是Ahmad心血之作，他做得很棒！Ahmad是我在deviantaArt第一个认识的人，也是我很好的朋友，他一直支持着我，对古墓丽影的了解也很多！他绝对应该领一枚古墓丽影专家勋章！后来我遇到Ana后，我们就一起共同合作“古墓丽影帝国”组。
Inna: TRArabia is purely Ahmad's brainchild and he's doing a fantastic work with it! Ahmad is one of the first people I got to know when I only came to deviantaArt and he became my great friend who's always supporting me in everything and who always seems to know everything about TR! He definitely deserves a badge of Tomb Raider Expert! :D So when later on I met Ana and we opened Tomb Raider Empire group we definitely wanted him on board with us!
记者：我非常喜欢你们俩的古墓丽影艺术作品，非常漂亮的艺术画！哪幅作品是你们的得意之作？我们能向中国的玩家分享你们的作品吗？I am a big fan or both of you guys’ artworks, they are stunning! Which is your favorite Lara Croft artwork? Can we show these pictures along with the interview? （Or could you provide some of your own favorite artwork so we can share them with the fans in China?）
Ana：谢谢！选择得意之作就像选择你的孩子一样，很难取舍。但是所有“劳拉自拍”系列都是我们喜欢的作品，还有效仿官方的原创作品。这两个系列我们都是一直在不断创作新作品。我们非常钟情效仿官方的原创作品，因为那是我们之前组织了一个对古墓成员的解谜游戏大赛而专门制作的艺术作品，这些作品分别在春夏秋冬四个季节通过大赛的进程而展出的，而最终的获胜者得到了印有我们专属艺术作品的纪念杯！
"劳拉自拍"系列作品是我们的个人作品，我们把自己的一些有趣的想法放进了这个系列中，我们经常交流并发给对方自己一些有趣滑稽的草稿然后互相自得其乐。“劳拉自拍”系列将会继续进行，希望我们会呈现出更多的系列作品！:)
欢迎你们参观我们的艺术作品，

Ana :Thank you! Well, choosing your favorite artwork is like choosing your favorite child, you just can't. But we'd have to go with the Selfie series! And maybe the official render remakes. Both were projects we continuously worked on. The remakes are very special to us because we came up with a puzzle-riddle kind of game for the members of our DA group and we opened those seasonally. There was a winner for each game and what they got was a cup with an art print! Since the games were seasonal, we chose renders which represented each season so it was a lot of fun working on those. The selfie series though is more of a personal project - now that we're finally collaborating when it comes to art, we decided to bring to life our silly ideas. We would often send each other funny fangirly sketches and laugh our butts off. We had this idea that was inspired by extreme selfies, and who is more extreme than Lara Croft? That's still an ongoing project and we're hoping to make many more! :)
And sure, you can share what you like :)

Inna：我最喜欢的作品是这幅画！
自拍在当今越来越流行，有人爱有人恨。我的灵感也是来自于此，我很想做一个有趣的古墓丽影的美术系列。我把我的建议告诉了Ana，然后我们开始了这个“极限自拍”系列，主角就是劳拉·克劳馥。古墓丽影系列本身提供了许多丰富的素材，我们在这些基础上又添加了自己独特的创意逻辑。我们对未来的作品一直有更多规划，不管是自拍系列还是其他新作，尽管这些只是我们的兴趣所在，但是一切皆有可能！
感谢你们的采访，祝你们好运，也祝福我们最爱的劳拉20周年快乐！
Inna: My personal favorite is definitely this one!
Selfie shots became such a huge part of modern society, both loved and hated upon. So one day catching a glimpse of new trend of "extreme selfies" Lara immediately came to mind. This is exactly what I've been talking before about TR being a perfect subject to make fun of in a good way. So I suggested this idea to Ana and we decided to start a series of extreme selfies. Lara Croft style. TR has provided rich material of comical situations and ridiculous logics so we buckled up out creative belts and started brainstorming! We have more stuff planned, both in selfie series and some new ideas, but LRG is only our side art account for having fun so there's not as much time for it as we'd like to. But hey, it's all gonna happen!
Thanks for having us ,we wish you the best of luck and happy 20th Anniversary to our beloved Lara
