Well, you gotta do what feels right at the time, but your mileage may vary in terms of getting what you want....

In for Fray and Capital, but I will have to think about Aerial Attack.

Ryan, does Bethesda come up with those titles?

I mean "Aerial Attack", it's almost as bad a title as "Reaper Attack".

I think that's what bethesda called the original artwork.

Reaper attack made sense with the game at least. Aerial attack is totally worse.

There is a shadow of a dragon coming from above, but still.

Seems you're right. http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/downloads/

I guess one can predict future skyrim lithos from that unless they surprise us.

I think key art is usually named something simple and memorable for internal purposes. Then it's put in lots of places, but not usually referred to by name. I've also seen guidelines (not from Bethesda) about which piece of key art to use in which situations, and when, so there's probably incentive to make them dead simple to refer to in order to keep other vendors from making a mistake and blowing some marketing beat. Putting the art on lithos probably isn't forefront at the time, and so by the time we get here the name is just kind of stuck.... Just my guess, though.

Short answer: yes the studios usually dictate litho names....

I'm a little jaded, but I don't tend to want to hang the key art on my walls. It's iconic and recognizable and usually extremely well executed, but the fact that it's used so widely makes me less interested. I guess I'm an art snob in that way. I like the deeper cuts and the referential pieces better, personally.

I can tell you, though, the next Skyrim litho (which will be an open edition) is not on that page (but is something you've seen), and we got art today for the next-ish one after that which also isn't on that page (and I hadn't seen before--is a pretty cool image, but not sure the aspect ratio will work ultimately; still being worked out).

You're not far off in general, though. I don't know how final they are, but I've seen some samples in the office of probable future ESO lithos that you can find on this page: http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/media

YES!!getting an itchy trigger finger for the first 2.

Hmm, might give these new lithos a miss.

Can't say I really like them at all I'm afraid.

I love Fallout and I love both the iconic depiction of the damaged post-apocolyptic white house and the BoS Knight

However somehow combining the two images into one looks corny

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

Would have loved absolutely loved this one




That is a great piece of art. The new Fallout one seems tacky for whatever reason

Still will buy it but it'll be second in my mind to the first Fallout one

So are there plans for more fallout lithos then?

I love me some Fallout

And yes Ras I totally just stole your Fallout pic

Much easier than searching on the web for it

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