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

I agree they don't really work together, although tut tut to an American not knowing what the White House looks like

Ah man, can't decide if I want two Fray lithographs or not.. I really like it. Right now I have 1 of each ordered of the elder scrolls lithos but.. hrm..

I guess I will wait since I am hoping to load up on the other elders scroll online lithos at pax prime..

Elder Scrolls

Edit: Didn't realize I was only ~ 30 min late for these lithos to pop out. Such good timing I may actually get a low number for once!

right capitol building but I mean is the knight on some rooftop by the capitol building looking down?

It so obviously looks like they had that angle of the capitol building and that image of the knight and just patched them together

Guessing they've never produced new art to make lithos right?

This is actual key art. They do have the full image "Destroyed DC", but the composite with the BOS wasn't done just for this litho....

We make requests a lot of the time, but they usually produce so much art for the games that making something else (instead of working on the game) isn't usually on the table. When we did the Alice art show, their lead did a new piece for it. And the lead at Tomb Raider really wanted to do a piece for that art show, but couldn't make it happen. I think the closest we've gotten is some touch-ups on pieces that they thought wouldn't print well because they were too roughly painted.

Making the game better could net millions of dollars. Making a litho will top off at a few thousand dollars, so it's a big ask.

I'm sure it will grow on me once I actually have it in my hands

Assuming it arrives undamaged of course but it sounds like you guys are working hard to fix that

I don't think there is a building there so he must have learnt to fly

It has been patched together like you say, and they just don't fit which is a shame as I do love fallout but I'm gonna give this a miss

Ryan, you talked about moving all art shipping in-house if the TR-run went well.

It seems it did.

So?

Ordered the 2 Elder Scrolls lithos. Thanks Ryan!

International shipping turned out to be a pretty big logistics issue, and the whole process was pretty disruptive and time-consuming. We're going to take a half-step towards that, but probably pull it all in-house if that doesn't work out....

We're going to have the Colorado warehouse pack things exactly how we did the TR art, and we're going to oversee it and be more hands-on. It's not quite "Let's hope this works out this time", but it's faster and more efficient than having me do it all in the art room. Hopefully you guys will get things faster and easier (and without the rate hike we charged for TR shipping), and if we're physically present for a lot of it, hopefully the art starts being handled better.
