Due to the iterative process of design by Ken Levine et all the BioShock concept art (from about 4 years ago in this case) indeed never looks like the final game.

I'll be gettin "Falling".

Swift, when I say the final look I mean...

I don't feel like writing a lot

It seems more like some of the concept art reflects a somewhat different version of Columbia.

You could say that's because it's concept art, but I think it has more to do with the fact that Infinite changed a lot over the development.

Got a Falling and Elizabeth. So amazing.

If by any chance someone got a large Elizabeth and changed their mind, please let me know. My partner wanted a big version and I would love to surprise her with one.

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.

Do you plan on having them framed / mounted?

Yep - I get all of them professionally framed.

Here are some of my older Bioshock ones: Link

Hit the jackpot though recently - my sis in law works in an art studio and can do them for me from now on.

Edit: What about yourself rasmusvn? I think you bought a Falling or was it an Elizabeth you mentioned?

Yup, Falling 50/50.

I'll be going with liquid gloss. I've kind of fallen in love with that way of framing
