Glorified screenshots.

The files used for the prints, aside from "Falling", have been made from in-game imagery; high resolution renders more specifically.

It seems some people have very big walls since some of the large edition prints have sold quite a few; considering they're an edition of five.

I would buy absolutely every one of them... except the pricing is mad. $300 for a giclee?!?!

It's a proper giclee, but the price is high.

Yes the price is high, but these are basically fine art prints. C&B is a genuine art gallery, I don't think these are meant for the casual fan.

The popularity of Infinite may be a big boost towards legitimizing games and game development as genuine art, and I for one applaud the project. I'm also buying as many of these as will fit on my wall

How is that expensive? If you want something from a significant artist you'll pay a lot more. The last giclee I bought was 1 of 15 and cost $1k and it's amaaaaaazing.

Edit: Also, didn't mean for that to sound condescending at all, so apologies if it seemed that way.

Don't mind at all - Todd Schorr's Lovecraft. Here's a link, though it's not a pic of my one. I'm sure it's not to everyone's tastes but I love it. Also signed by Todd Schorr as well.

It's around 30 x 40 inches and the colour on is is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

My reasoning is that's just bought 17 numbered Tomb Raider prints at $40 each, some of which are even more limited at 40 total made.

Apples = Oranges ... sorry it's 2 completely different things.. I bought a $5 painting at a garage sale whilst a picasso goes for $2 million dollars.. both art both painted well but why the difference in price tag.. art have a funny way of being expensive to cheap depending on the want.. if people want to pay they will pay
