Default Cook & Becker Dragon Age Inquisition

An update to this post as I didn't want to make a new one. We just announced the first of our Dragon Age Inquisition prints. Personally, I think these prints are gorgeous. We launch with 5 prints and they start at USD 99/GBP 70. Some pics below.

Made by BioWare concept artists Ramil Sunga and Casper Konefal. Proofed by them. Hand-signed official BioWare certificate and label from them. Hand-numbered. Not in the pictures because added later: the prints are also embossed with the BioWare logo. They're available now at http://www.candb.com

Out of interest. Did anyone get one of the Dragon Age giclees sold through the BioWare store? What did you think?

I bought the whole set. Managed to score the Six of Cups as Numbered 1, Temperance Numbered 3, and the rest Numbered 2

1) Lovely Artwork

2) Are we gonna see more Dragon Age Inquisition prints using the Tarot Card artwork from C&B? Even though the quality of print is different compared to TreeHouse, essentially they are still the same artwork. I would love to see C&B offers us different artwork.

3) Can we get artwork categorized by the Game itself rather than Studio or Artist? or at least give us an option for that?

4) Price is reasonable, and Limited edition to 50 is awesome

5) Edition of:50 (+3 AP) <-- AP i assume is artist proof? Are you guys going to sell the AP? Any difference between the AP and the Retail version?

Thanks for purchasing the set!

1. Thanks They are gorgeous in real-life, you won't be dissappointed when you get them.

2. We will be doing more Tarot card art with BioWare. We agreed that the designs C&B picks in principle won't be sold as giclees through the BioWare Store as well. (BioWare Store used to be Treehouse, is now owned by ThinkGeek). There was some miscommunication with the Queen of Staves design so that is the one available with us signed, museum-grade etc. and a cheaper version at the official store. What they do with the lithos/posters I don't really now. We only discussed with BioWare that having two types of giclees in the market with very different price point could be confusing Other than that we hope to be doing some environment art as well in the future.

3. The C&B website REALLY needs an upgrade, and being able to select and search by brand is high on the list. Discovery of what we have in general really. We're working on that as we speak.

4. Like with the Okami art prints we wanted to do a set with a very approachable price to also attract new buyers. I think if you want to sample C&B quality this is a very good entry point.

5. AP is artist proof yes. The APs are exactly the same as the retail version. One set is with us, the other is with BioWare. For this series we're not selling the 3rd set of AP's but if you would like to have an AP in the future please fill it out in the 'Comments' field when ordering. If we have one available we will substitute a number with an AP

Anyone mind if an Thread on (all things) Cook & Becker be made? Theres some old but closed C&B related threads. It would be nice to have. Sorry, I didnt know where to make a quick suggestion but I figured since this was the most recent C&B update, it would be temporary here.

Oh and anyone know if threads can be combined? Like all the past C&B threads into 1?
