Dishonored / Skyrim / Fallout Litho's

[Amnoz]

What do you guys think of the giclee's?

Honestly I cannot bring myself to like any of them and the new skyrim one seems so.. how do I put it, it seems like fan service for the prepubescent.

I really like the colours and the balance in them, but the images themselves... I'm not sure, they just do not resonate with me.

It might be because I did not LOVE dishonored but it might also be that I'm getting tired of seeing video game characters standing in the forefront of art pieces. That is probably why I really liked the first Skyrim piece, it was more scenic and told you more about the world as opposed to "look at me and all my deeply covered layers of personality."

The Skyrim one is a cool piece of concept art, but you're right, it takes a deep commitment to want to hang it.

The Dishonored ones are the paintings made for use as background art in the game itself. The style is cool, and the idea of having the same thing that's hanging in the game is cool, but I also am not in love with the content. We have some Dishonored giclees coming up that are very different. I'm not sure I love them either, but they're really, really not characters standing in front of a vignetted background, so that's at least something.

Exactly this for me. Played the game to death and always hoped that the awesome paintings in the game (especially lord regent, it was everywhere) would be released in the real world for collecting. So thanks.

Agreed.

I also think the idea is cool, but it would take a really special in game painting to sell me on the idea. The fact that the Lord Regent appears so much almost takes away from the idea even more. Then it's just shoveling something onto others that the game tried shoveling onto you.

One painting that would do it for me is the painted world of ariamis.

Give me that in the form of a giclee and then take all of my money!
