At least two of the prints made me say "wow" out loud as I unrolled them.
I definitely know what you mean, even the pictures shown of them look very jaw-dropping and colored very well, but I'm just not feeling the art of the prints very much, they look a little unpolished IMO.

A few of them look pretty cool no doubt, but none of them really evoke the feeling or tone of the game all too much to me.

"Love the Island" is probably my favorite of the fan prints, but it reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus moreso than Tomb Raider.

I just received my giclee's and have to say, they ARE absolutely amazing, even moreso in person. I wish I could afford to get these things framed at the moment, but will probably have to wait a month or two .

Another thing I am pleasantly surprised about... the Spratt Litho was included in my order? I didn't think these things were available. Were they distrubuted out randomly to peoples orders? It's quite amazing as well! . It seems unnumbered however, unless i'm just blind.

Thanks vhal!

That was definitely such a nice surprise! The litho is truly incredible! The colours on it are really nice. Although imo, the giclees are far superior, haha.

I think Romeo was perfectly on the mark when he said pictures of these things don't do them justice. Seeing them in person is really an experience. They're wonderful.

Given Romeo ordered all of these and seen them all in person, i'm wondering which is your favourite of the bunch?

I completely agree with the Island print. I took my copy of Shadow out to compare the two. I haven't played the new TR yet though so I have no idea how that image fits.

Congrats on the Spratt litho! I received one in my order as well. I'm not sure how randomly they were given, perhaps with orders of multiple prints?

Yeah definitely! The giclee's paper is very thick and sturdy, while the litho feels more like a poster? Although maybe slightly higher quality paper than posters. The colours on it though really do stand out in my opinion.

Once I get these framed i'd love to compare the litho and giclee in better detail though.

I'm disappointed now that I didn't get a litho

(on the other hand, I only ordered one )
