Uncharted Certified Art Giclées, now available to order at C&B.

[ingmar1988]

It is a good year for Naughty Dog and art fans. Celebrating Naughty Dogs 30 year anniversary, art gallery Cook & Becker presents a collection of limited-edition fine art prints based on the concept art & the visual design of the Uncharted Trilogy.

We could already admire uncharted concept art in the just released Naughty Dog artbook, but now we can also hang some of the amazing concept art on our walls. Here are just a few examples of the artworks.

The prints are museum-grade Certified Art Giclees? and are meant to showcase the visual design of the Uncharted franchise in the best possible quality. All prints have been extensively proofed by the artists at Naughty Dog and Cook & Becker?s master printer to get as close to the digital source as possible. All prints are hand-numbered, embossed with the Naughty Dog logo and have a digital signature. Some prints are also hand-signed via label and certificate by the artist aswell. Not all prints could be signed by the artists as some artists are not with Naughty Dog anymore.

All artworks are available now via Cook&Becker. (http://www.candb.com/en/artcollectivegallery/22/naughty-dog.html)... View this article on the HomePage. (http://collectorsedition.org/21465/uncharted-certified-art-giclees-now-available-to-order-at-cb)

that's 1200 dollars well spent

[StayFree( ' 3')]

so glad I'm not a Uncharted collector right now. :D

[Rewolution]

When are they ready to ship? So probably that's some kind of pre-order purchase. Probably they will be available until next months or something like that. I do not collect any Uncharted merchandise but I think some of those prints will be my first prints about Uncharted. Especially I liked the black & white Drake - cover print and probably I will get it with black wooden framed. I do love prints from C&B, they're in highest quality and really special. I'm still waiting some prints for Red Dead Redemption or MAFIA II ... Maarten was told me they're good on contacting with 2K - Take Two, so that could be happen.

[Maarten Brands]

Thanks for the write-up Ingmar! Very excited to finally have these prints released

And regarding Mafia and Red Dead Redemption. Maffia has a higher chance at the moment, as Rockstar is not making it easy for us to do a Red Dead or GTA Series that can launch publicly. Even though we made artwork for their offices...

That would be amazing if C&B produce MAFIA II prints. I really want to have official prints from this beautiful game. And really want to see them in my collection. There's no prints made for this game except store display posters or promo posters. That's all :(. But C&B prints are certainly different to have. I'll be keep waiting to hear some great news. #1 prints are mine! :spiteful:

[IAmTheLoneWanderer]

damn! i want them all. but realistically cant do that lol. although they would look great in my art collection :) will probably be picking up a few of these though ;)

[ingmar1988]

i got warzone and chateaux myself, both same size and nice print, so will go very nice together imho (and they really capture the feeling of the franchise).

[Rewolution]

I was really undecided about unframed or black framed version of Drake in Cover print. There was difference about 100€*between of them. Finally yesterday I ordered mine "Drake in Cover" unframed. I believe this one is the best looking print in this collection. Maybe next time I'm going to order "Shambala" print.

But also those Uncharted prints are much limited than others so The Last of Us prints are mostly limited to 50 or 100, but Uncharted prints are mostly ltd. 40 print and cheaper too. Really confused.

[Maarten Brands]

Not all of the Uncharted prints are signed because some of the artists are no longer with the studio (and this has legal implications) so that explains the price difference a little.

[Maarten Brands]

Also, you can see our frames here (see below) :)

Plus all our other finishes.

Picked up:

Customs House 5/50

Chloe 40/40

Those were by far my favorite prints.

[Chargersfan57]

I'm curious, did you buy all the # 23s for the Uncharted ones?

[sneaksgalore]

Mostly 5 or lower :)

[Chargersfan57]

So what options are you guys buying these with? I had to go both unframed on mine as there was no way I could spend 300+ per print.

Gotcha. The reason I asked is cause' I noticed the # 23 is missing from just about all of them.

[sneaksgalore]

No worrys I went all u framed I have a guy local to me an he's done all my uncharted prints he's cheaper and the frame looks a lot better c and b are expensive for this service for me and looking at the video they aren't great quality :(

#23 prints are all missed. Someone is in love with this number. The Last of Us and Uncharted prints #23 are all gone. God, how the person can buy prints more than 35 stock? That makes about $4850 for all. (unframed, standard) maybe the person bought them with Dibond, Liquid gloss or Acrylic glass, who knows. Another chance is Naughty Dog bought them for displaying in Events or in their office.

[sharif2323]

not me ;P

[Chargersfan57]

not me ;P

Did you buy any sharif?

(Unless the tongue sticking out means you DID buy the 23s...)

[aash-with_2_a's-97]

Hey guys I have a quick question regarding these, will there be any more work released by naughty dog for The Last of Us or is this it???

If they're likely to release new stuff, then I'd rather wait, but if this is all that will ever be released publicly for sale then I need to get buying!

Sorry for the noobish question, I'm new to collecting game artwork!
If someone can reply ASAP I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks,
Aash

Hard to say for sure. They may release more prints in time but obviously they'll be different from what they're currently presenting.

So if you see something that you like now, go for it as all are limited to only around 50 give or take and these current ones wont be reproduced.

[sharif2323]

I reserved them but will have to slowly pay for them xD Unframed too - might be 10 years before I can get them framed lol

Btw ingmar1988, it says "Naught" Dog :D

Well then, good luck on your future purchases :D. I would like to see your completed C&B print collection in the future bro.

Also I believe no need to buy them framed because custom framing is much more cheaper than ready framed from C&B. I found a professional framer in my local place and I said them to frame my prints (Lithographs and posters) +15 prints for about 400 Euros with professional ways that includes special bonuses like anti-reflection glass or protection from dust. So I can recommend to everyone custom framing that who needs to frame their prints.

[Chargersfan57]

So are these supposed to start shipping out today?

Yeah I thought so. Don't think I didn't notice the numbers in your name bro...:)

[aash-with_2_a's-97]

GUYS WHICH ONE AND WHY DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST OUT OF:
REMEMBERING
ELLIE'S ROOM
HUNTER CITY
LIGHTS

I want to get one of them before they all run out but I'm really not sure . I'm leaning on 'Remembering' right now but my opinion keeps on fluctuating.

I'm still kicking myself for not getting 'crows' in time so I'm not sure if I should go for second best or collect other last of us stuff (I still want to get ellie edition, the press kit, the uncharted 2 press kit, and the uncharted 2 limited edition.

By the way sharif you have the greatest uncharted/last of us collection I've ever seen!!! I only saw your website a couple of days ago and I thought if anyone took all the 23s, it had to be this crazy dude!

Even though I've yet to play TLoU I would go with either "Remembering" or "Ellie's Room". Both are quite impressive and feature a main character. IMO "Hunter City" is the weakest of the 4 cause' even though it's a nice scenery piece, it doesn't have either of the protagonists in it.

Sharif's collection is awesome. It surpases even my own!

You still collect o.O

By the way thanks for site comments guys, but that's a database of everything I come across online, not my collection!!!

btw you weren't able to get 3D prints right. I dont think I'll ever find those ugh

Hi all,

A quick update here regarding shipping. My apologies but it looks like we can only start shipping Tuesday 21st. We had a delay in getting all the signatures back.

Apologies!

Well I've been in retirement from collecting for quite awhile. (which is why I assume you're collection is probably better) But I purchased a couple of the art prints,... so I guess that officially ends my retirement. :thumb:

And since UC4 will be coming out, I'd like to add some things to the collection from the new game. Especially since my collection covers things from the first three games.

But it wont be like it was before where I'm spending mad amounts of money to get just ANYTHING with the Uncharted logo. I'll just go for a couple rare UC4 things.

...you disgust me. >_>

I know Nick,.... I know...:(:facepalm:

Thanks for the opinion Chargersfan57, I see what you mean about 'hunter city', there needs to be a protagonist in it, although 'lights' does feature ellie. narrowed it down to 'lights' and 'remembering', out of these 2 which do you think is better? Is the extra money for 'lights' worth it?? And sorry for the nagging, I've already asked all 10 people who study art at my college and it's literally all even, and I'm 50/50 on my own opinion so the one I buy will pretty much be based on what you think haha!

And the reason I skipped out on 'ellie's room' is because I want a piece with colours and 'remembering' does the trick for me.

P.S. NO MAN SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TORTURE OF NOT PLAYING THE LAST OF US. PLAY IT ASAP.

Awww man,... that's a lot of pressue. haha. Well, I think you need to pick the piece that speaks the most to you as a fan of the game. The piece that brings you back to that world and what you felt by playing it.

And remember, this opinion comes from someone who knows next to nothing about the game itself. Although I'm a big fan of apocalyptic stories.

Lights, IMO, does a great job of providing a classic and what I believe might be, an iconic look. Where there is no mistaking that for anything other than a TLoU piece.

It shows the world as it exists today...

I think "remembering" is more emotional though. Remember I haven't played the game, but it's like someone coming across their old pictures. The room might be in disaray but it's just as she left it. The posters and pictures on the walls remind her of a time long past... A time before all hell broke loose. And a reminder that there's no going back.

So there you have it,... my opinion. Lights seems as classic as all possible. And remembering just makes me feel sad. (In a good way) So now the balls in your court.

[Chargersfan57]

Remembering does not look anything like her go for lights.

I personally don't mind if things are off in these types of pictures as they are concept pieces. These are the pieces that were brought to the table which ultimately made the game what it is today.

I bought the Chloe one and her face, while pretty , is different than the final Chloe we know from Uncharted.

I've already seen how Chloe looks in the game a million times. I want to own the earlier rendition which makes the print a "behind the scenes" piece and makes it all the more special to me.

btw you weren't able to get 3D prints right. I dont think I'll ever find those ugh

yeah, unfortunately they weren't giving them out. The last of Us 3D prints looked pretty bad given that were created using the low-end, consumer based 3D printers they had on display. The Nathan Drake bust on the other hand...damn...was pretty much flawless with every tiny detail you can imagine. I had no idea 3D printers have become that good.

Hey, if you got deep pockets you can always commission them to make you one. ;)

[sharif2323]

hehe I doubt they'd be allowed to even do that though...I guess that bust is going to ND offices xD

[StayFree( ' 3')]

hehe I doubt they'd be allowed to even do that though...I guess that bust is going to ND offices xD

yeah, they said all of them including all the mini busts were going straight to naughty dog. To their credit though they did let someone have one of the mini busts...but that's because it was missing the head. lol

Random fact:

The girl featured in John Sweeney's early concept art was actually created using a photoshopped image of his girlfriend.

Pretty cool factoid and thanks for sharing! Explains why she looks older.

I still prefer game prints to be recognizable as a print for the game though.

Uhm, just curious how did you find that out??? I was about to get 'remembering' but now I think I should go for a piece that resembles her a little more...:think:

He mentioned it during a local concept artist workshop that was held a few weeks ago.

Keep in mind that most of these pieces were created long before a set look was established for Ellie. The fact that they even slightly represent her final look is a huge plus.

[CheapAssassin]

I would get Lights than Remembering.. Lights the whole piece looks amazing when you see it with your own eyes.

[aash-with_2_a's-97]

I've finally decided, I think I'm gonna go with lights, thanks for all the help guys! :v:

[TheAVGN]

Just wondering if c&b sends tracking or shipping updates? Can't wait for the uncharted prints

[TheAVGN]

Nevermind just got an email update

[sneaksgalore]

avg u got any dates yet I ordered the day they come up and the order still says processing they've taken funds so I cant see it being payment problem

[ingmar1988]

I am still waiting also :) quite sure they are not ready yet. Maybe Maarten can give update.

[dicapo]

Got my Shambala print a few day ago.
So they are definitely sending them out at the moment :)

[TheAVGN]

Jus got my chateu print too

[Maarten Brands]

We had trouble getting back the signed materials from artist Shaddy Safadi in time (as he is now not with Naughty Dog anymore). So if your order included a print of his, we couldn't send it out because we were waiting on his stuff. We have everything now though!

Good news is: all prints will be shipped either today or tomorrow via FedEx so tracking numbers should be showing up for you.

My apologies if you had to wait so long. We were planning to write an update on the website about it but every day it seemed like the materials would be in 'tomorrow'...

[sneaksgalore]

just received tracking details thanks a lot what value do you claim on customs just wondering if Im going to get shafted by royal mail :)

[Maarten Brands]

Seeing as they ship from Amsterdam your customs fee will be 0
:)

[sneaksgalore]

I don't know why but I assumed you were from America lol im visiting Amsterdam soon might have to pop in and let you take more of my money :)

[Maarten Brands]

We have made sure that for US customers the duty is also 0

:)

But if you are ever in The Netherlands please do come by!
