C & B:











Of course they do look a bit sharper in real. It's a little hard to show the quality on picture

Bethesda and Sony giclees:




After all this time, I finally got my 1st C&B print today in the mail. I will agree, they do not feel as strong as the Bethesda ones - but I think that's because of the paper used. I feel the C&B paper is actually thicker, but not as structurally rigid. The colors and sharpness remind me almost exactly of my Dishonored giclees - the colors are extremely vibrant.

Was waiting to get this one to see if they lived up to the reputation - just ordered 3 more. I would tend to disagree on the price, I think $150 is a steal for something of this art quality, much more worth it than a $100 lithograph.
