The Last of Us (Cook & Becker)

[Amnoz]

None of these resonate for me.

I've looked through the art book so many times and having so many similar images together makes it a little difficult to treat these as individual pieces.

I agree with rams that "bloaters" would have been better off replaced with another one of the images he chose.

"A new day" will definitely be the piece to get however I would like to say that there should be at least one unique image exclusive to every cook and becker presentation. By unique I mean has not been seen previously and will NOT be seen later.

I understand why "Falling" was used again in Irrational's store but if you want to reach a different market to make a little extra $ because game development isn't cheap, save some images aside from artbooks that can have exclusive appearances elsewhere. Use a different image or make a new one, plain and simple.

I know some people will disagree with me but quite frankly, we don't want SOME images to gain so much popularity that they are seen everywhere. Whether that is the case with "falling" or not is a matter for debate. All I know is that once an image is emphasized a little too much, it loses it's appeal and significance to me.

I understand that games do need images that stand out and appear lots to market themselves. That aside, if there are going to be professional art prints from those companies, I think they should be different and exclusive. Don't just plug all of them out from an artbook or from the game onto a giclee, regardless if the quality is up-scaled.

I think if you guys secured an exclusive print, made it a decent run of like 100 and emphasized that the image will not be seen elsewhere, those prints will have a better chance of selling out, even if they are not the best lookers. Collector's will appreciate the exclusivity and limited quantities.

Those are my two cents.
