Not really an art print, but it includes two art prints...
The Art of God of War announced:




https://gear.playstation.com/en-us/t...zu1fq46s9g5xed

An intimate chronicle of the years-long odyssey to bring Kratos and Atreus’s beautiful and brutal world to life.

It is a new beginning for Kratos. Living as a man, outside the shadow of the gods, he seeks solitude in the unfamiliar lands of Norse mythology. With new purpose and his son at his side, Kratos must fight for survival as powerful forces threaten to disrupt the new life he has created.

Step into Midgard and explore beyond, as Dark Horse Books and Santa Monica Studio proudly present the quintessential companion to the enormously anticipated God of War. This is a document unlike any other that sets readers on an exhaustive behind-the-scenes journey to witness the creation of an epic of tremendous scale.

The limited edition is 224 pages and features a deluxe leather-like clamshell case and cover, and two gallery quality prints featuring art by Jose Cabrera.

Price: $79.99

I'd be curious to know how much it cost them to produce those prints.

It might be more than I think after all.

Lithography is bad for small productions because the amount of work involved is a lot and doesnt justify at all to make so small quantities as they make. Anything less than 1000 prints is kind of a waste of time and money.

Also even after printed it takes a lot more work than normal printings, because while other printing processes are ready to be handled/altered pretty fast after printing, a lithograph takes around 5 days before is completely dry and ok to be worked on.

Acid free paper is not cheap either.

I grabbed it. It looks nice and like you said, there's not a lot out there for SotC. Plus at a 350 es it will probably climb in value.

There is only a few Shadow of the colossus collectibles out there. I just don't get it, it was an awesome game that many people loved, and now with the remaster I thought they would release some stuff... but not really.

Noticed that the PlayStation, Bioware, and Bethesda stores pulled nearly all their lithographs and art prints. None have been selling out in hours like they used to. I wonder if they'll stop making them?

I noticed that too, and it is very unusual. There are still 2-3 litho I was interested to buy from the Bethesda store and I think I'll contact them about that, just to know what happened with them.

They said they are not up for sale anymore because they are sold-out. It's a little hard to believe. They said if they find more stock they'll put them back on the site...

I know I stopped buying a lot of their art because the lot size keeps increasing. It's not rare when you start making 500-1000 copies. Also, the quality keeps getting worse. For Dishonored 1, they had REAL giclees that I bought - super high quality. The lithos... meh. THen they made the new lithos that dont even have white borders, so its harder to frame them.
