Replacement Citadel Print

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
Bioware had some additional stock of the Citadel lithograph that they made available a couple of weeks back and I couldn't resist purchasing a another copy to replace my damaged one. It's part of the same run my original came from (ie. not a reprint). It's surprising how much better this looks now (but having a second look at the damage done to the original, I'm more surprised I put it up on the wall in the first place). I am now happy :) 


Mass Effect 2: "Citadel" (replacement)
Mass Effect 2: "Citadel" Lithograph (signed, 141/400).

Here are a couple of shots of the original lithograph so you can see the damage. The tube the lithographs where sent in got crushed, and it caused quite a bit of surface damage to the lithograph. Those marks run the whole width of the lithograph. It's no coincidence that Bioware now ship their lithographs flat :) It shipped with a Dragon Age lithograph that had even more damage done to it. They were thankfully able to replace that one at the time (it was still in stock). I can only assume they were holding back some stock of the Citadel lithograph or had a lot of cancelled orders.

I've been slowly working to get the prints and lithographs I've been collecting over the past 5 or so years framed and on the wall. It's been great to finally be able to appreciate them, although I must admit a bias to some of the newer stuff I've got (mainly Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age lithographs). I can't complain too badly though, as it finally kick-started something I'd been talking about doing for a really long time. There are still quite a few I need to organise frames for, but I think this is a good start.

Mass Effect 2: "Citadel"
Mass Effect 2: "Citadel" (signed, 39/400). Hanging in my bedroom. I liked it too much to not put it up, but the circumstances surrounding it are frustrating.  It got quite damaged during shipping and it is now sold out - so a replacement was out of the question. Bioware are being very cool about fixing the issue though.


Dragon Age: Origins "Pride Demon"
Dragon Age: Origins "Pride Demon" (signed, 336/350). Hanging in the stairwell (on the same floor as my office).

This is longer than I had planned, but I don't want to spend the time reformatting the images so it'll have to do. I'm planning on doing some more framing soon. I just wish framing wasn't so damned expensive. I'm using an online place to do the framing, they seem to be pretty good (in terms of quality, price and turnaround time). You measure up what you need and they build it to order. It's been fun putting these together when I've had a few moments spare. I've created a Prints set on flickr, so you can see larger versions there if you like.
