“DP” stands for Display Picture—the image a creator uses as a profile avatar across social platforms. For many cosplayers, the moment they unveil their first official DP is a rite of passage. It’s the visual that instantly tells fans, “This is me.”
Lana Croft’s “Her First DP” takes that notion and flips it into a short, cinematic WMV (Windows Media Video) exclusive that showcases the making of her first official Lara‑Croft DP, not just the final picture.
At the climax of the video, the camera pulls back to reveal the final display picture—a high‑contrast, low‑angle shot of Lana in full Lara‑Croft gear, holding a torch that lights up an ancient relic. The image instantly became her new avatar across all her social channels, symbolizing a new chapter in her cosplay career.
Lana Croft isn’t a new name in the cosplay community.
