I'm thinking about getting Shadow of the Shard
If somehow they offer partial refund
Let me know
Maybe I can help you with that
I don't mind the imperfection

[Sand4fish]

wow.. you got some beautiful pieces! Specially the shadow of the shard! I too don't mind the imperfections.. actually i prefer them as they add an unique touch to that specific piece.

Details.



















Overall the sharpness/detail is better in the Mirror's Edge piece. This is down to the artist who did the concept/the style of said artist.

Citadel shouldn't be viewed up close, a little distance works much better.

"Sand4Fish" you just let me know if you want your collection made more unique. I've got a hammer, stanley knife and such.

Wow looks brilliant and so shiny

Team arrived.

Best I can do with photos for now. Colors are somewhat incorrect.




















Reflections you say, what reflections?

[SwiftDeath]

Stunning Ras!

If I ever become crazy rich I will find one of the teams whatever the cost

Now only to become crazy rich sigh

take it you are very happy with the Team?

Is that a giclee technically as it's so large and majestic?

Heyyyy... Imperfections, different to damages! Anyway, I do understand your feelings though, trying to get perfect pieces is what all of us strive for in our collection.

We'll see what happens. I'll let you know.

Very happe with it. It's a giclee as long as you use an inkjet. You could get the print itself for a lot less but keeping it in a tube isn't really the same

There's always thumb thacks.

Unpackaging it by yourself is impossible, I guess that's obvious.

#Sand4fish

I see your point. If the dots were in the white areas, I would never have noticed them. I always have an "internal" debate with myself: "Can this be justified?". Sometimes there's a good reason for imperfections, but most of the times that isn't the case.

Let's say somethings is made out of wood, stone fx.. It's a natural material, so there's bound to be imperfections. An actual painting will have imperfections too.

But a print made using the best paper, inks, technique at this price point should have no imperfections. A standard frame made of wood might have imperfections, but with diasec/epoxy there's no such thing. You can actually reheat the epoxy if the piece is scratched.

I wanted to talk a little about the gloss process.

C&B uses "Hahnem?hle FineArt Photo Rag Bright White 310gr" (http://www.hahnemuehle.com/media/pho...hite_rev02.pdf). It's a very high quality paper that I would say is heavily textured. I had a crop sent of "The Team" before the actual order was placed; in my opinion the colors were a little dull and the obvious texturing of the paper annoyed me a little.

The same texturing can be seen on some of the AC-giclees.




I've seen this texturing on a lot og high quality paper. Does anyone know if there's a abvious reason for this?

Both the gloss and diasec-process make the works seem smooth. I guess the gel or epoxy fills out the small "gaps" in the paper.
