Reaper attack made sense with the game at least. Aerial attack is totally worse.

There is a shadow of a dragon coming from above, but still.

Seems you're right. http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/downloads/

I guess one can predict future skyrim lithos from that unless they surprise us.

I mean "Aerial Attack", it's almost as bad a title as "Reaper Attack".

I think key art is usually named something simple and memorable for internal purposes. Then it's put in lots of places, but not usually referred to by name. I've also seen guidelines (not from Bethesda) about which piece of key art to use in which situations, and when, so there's probably incentive to make them dead simple to refer to in order to keep other vendors from making a mistake and blowing some marketing beat. Putting the art on lithos probably isn't forefront at the time, and so by the time we get here the name is just kind of stuck.... Just my guess, though.

Short answer: yes the studios usually dictate litho names....

I'm a little jaded, but I don't tend to want to hang the key art on my walls. It's iconic and recognizable and usually extremely well executed, but the fact that it's used so widely makes me less interested. I guess I'm an art snob in that way. I like the deeper cuts and the referential pieces better, personally.

I can tell you, though, the next Skyrim litho (which will be an open edition) is not on that page (but is something you've seen), and we got art today for the next-ish one after that which also isn't on that page (and I hadn't seen before--is a pretty cool image, but not sure the aspect ratio will work ultimately; still being worked out).

You're not far off in general, though. I don't know how final they are, but I've seen some samples in the office of probable future ESO lithos that you can find on this page: http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/media

Customer Service is co-ordinating with people that got damaged ones to have theirs printed fresh, numbered to match their original, and then packed and shipped by our own hands. First time we've had to go that far to make things right on damaged lithos, but we're trying everything we can.... Hope everyone that got bummer lithos last round has opened a ticket.

So wait, now there are replacements for the "Realm of the Dragonborn" litho? Damn, I gotta send out an email to customer service if this is the case.

Because this is a special case, I'm not sure what the threshold is for damage that gets a full reprint, but you should always send a [calm, polite] email to customer service when you get something damaged.

Well, you gotta do what feels right at the time, but your mileage may vary in terms of getting what you want....

Hmm, might give these new lithos a miss.

Can't say I really like them at all I'm afraid.

I love Fallout and I love both the iconic depiction of the damaged post-apocolyptic white house and the BoS Knight

However somehow combining the two images into one looks corny

No other way I can say it but it some how ruined both images for me

Would have loved absolutely loved this one




That is a great piece of art. The new Fallout one seems tacky for whatever reason

Still will buy it but it'll be second in my mind to the first Fallout one

So are there plans for more fallout lithos then?

I love me some Fallout

And yes Ras I totally just stole your Fallout pic

Much easier than searching on the web for it
