Well, as we can all no doubt surmise from the unhappy threads and slow sales of the latest lithos, interest in them is waning. If the relatively quiet launch of the newest pack today is any indication, that's not going to change. 

I do, however, believe that has little to do with our actual desire to hang new concept art from our walls. Sure, many of us are running out of space, but I think the lithos from the last year or so haven't been up to snuff with the original batch. Personally, I know I'd like to see less generic landscapes and more character based lithos. And as much as I enjoy Anderson and Javik, I think there are characters that would sell far better. 

So, in order to give Treehouse/Bioware a reference that will help them sell more products and for us, their consumers, to get the product we want, I figured we should have a list of the art we would love to see. That way, they'll be no excuse for them to put out a product that won't sell well and for us to get lithos we don't want. 

So, I'll start it off. Additions will be in BOLD. Votes are tallied next to the suggestion:

[Legendary Chop Chop]

Liara
Samantha Traynor (would be amazing if it's done right)
Ashley/Kaidan
Sur'Kesh
Wrex as leader of Urdnots on Tuchanaka
Another version of The Citadel (in space shot)
Normandy (inside the ship, near CiC)
Diana Allers (kidding)

There's probably more, but these are pretty essential I think. I believe these are at least somewhat realistic due to the relevance of them within ME3.

The lithos that came out today are all right, though. I'm not 100% sold on them to pre-order them, but it's a purchase I might make in the future.

Although I should say that Treehouse has nothing to do with which lithos come out or get marketed. This wouldn't be a bad idea to let BioWare see, however.

First they can release lithos of all remaining squadmates and a litho of a mass relay wouldn't be out of place either...

[Whites6912]

I would defiantly like to see Liara, Wrex, or Mordin.

Space battle over Earth would be cool and Kalros v. Reaper would be very cool if done right.

How about Palavin Burning? Show the Turians, some of the squad mates fighting the Reapers on the moon with the bright orange part of the planet in the back ground?

Sorry; got a little carried away there; but that was possibly my favorite part of the game with the different graphics in the game.

I was lucky enough to get one of the signed Liara Dark Horse Lithos from EBay before they went off the deep end expensive. But another wouldn't bee too bad.

Of course they would need to be the white boarders AND signed!

[Kem1995]

Mordin should be in bold..

[SIim Charles]

I think we need more lame scenes and locations that are related to the games in name only.

/sarcasm

[stardazzled]

The Turian general in front of the burning Palaven is epic in game.

Concepts... hm, Sur'Kesh (replacement for the Gernsback image that never came), Liara and an exterior shot of the Prothean Archives on Mars, maybe with the sandstorm arriving.

[Beocat]

I would like to see Zaeed and Mordin in particular, Liara, Samara/Morinth, and Kasumi as well if possible. Kaidan would be a dream come true, but I won't hold my breath. I'd also prefer them in the older style that portrays a piece of the character's personality rather than the blah screenshot style we got with Anderson and ahem "Prothean".

A Mass Relay, exterior shot of Citadel would be nice as well.

Surprisingly enough, I'd love a shot (from where Shepard would be standing usually) of the Council. To me they are as much a symbol of Mass Effect as the Relays and the Citadel have been.

[Sulious Vandomar]

I've updated the list with everyone's suggestions! Keep them coming!

[Gust4v]

Another Tali lithograph.

Why is Mordin not in bold?

And a lithograph of The Fleets Arrive battle would be pretty cool.

The Citadel in ME3 is pretty nice too.

It's quite hard to think of some good lithographs for ME3

[Gorakka]

^ Yes Mordin Mordin Mordin Mordin Mordin !!

And Palavan Burning would be amazing, as it was one of the most iconic moments from ME3.

As soon as I get enough responses I'll put votes next to each one. Right now, the bold represents additions to the original list. I gotcha'll covered.

[Tempest_]

Garrus and Shepard on the Citadel might be pretty cool.

I think that might be a little specific. It's a great idea, but I doubt they have concept art for that hanging around.

It would be awesome but as you say I doubt it would ever happen.

It's a shame we haven't had more character based lithographs recently.

[shimoyake]

Looks like all of my wants are pretty much already on the list... Glad to know I'm not the only one. :3

That said, I know it might be a little dated... But how about Sovereign? o.o Maybe a silhouetted Shepard with that hologram from Virmire? I still get chills listening to that speech. Ah, the days when Reapers were cool.

The squadmates who have yet to get a litho are very deserving, as well as Joker.


EDIT: SHAME ON ME. I forgot poor Dragon Age. I know things have been pretty low, interest wise, since DA II... But it would still be nice to see some love there. Morrigan would probably sell well, though I'd personally empty my wallet for Alistair or Varric. It would be nice to at least see a pre-order type of deal where they only print as many as they have ordered within a certain timeframe.

[Bitharion]

I think the old ruins on Tuchanka would make for a really nice lithograph, other then that the list as it is right now seems to cover everything I can come up with.

[Sulious Vandomar]

Well, if you like specific items on the list, chime in and give your top three or something. I'd like to start tallying votes.

[Kem1995]

Heres my votes;

Tuchanka Ruins*
Kasumi
Mordin
Liara T'Soni
Clan Leader Urdnot Wrex
Rannoch
Kalros vs. Reaper Destroyer*
Space Battle Over Earth*
Tuchanka Ruins*
Sur'kesh
Palaven Burning
Full Shot of The Citadel*
Normandy CIC
Mass Relay*

Ones with *'s are more wanted than others.

For the record, I also would like a Joker litho.

[Whites6912]

How about the Destiny Ascension? I always thought that was a pretty cool ship. Amd it did make appearances in all of the games.

Thessia skyline
Rannoch landscape with Geth in middle and buildings in background.
The battle that you see when you're picking which option at the Crucible, it was breathtaking.
Mars landing zone with sandstorm.
Vancouver skyline with Reaper attack.

and my favourite (odd) idea...
Liara's apartment from LotSB. I just got the perfect vibe from that place with the storm happening outside, and the task I was given. It was just an amazing moment for me.

[Tennyochan]

 I don't think they'll have already existing concept art for some characters. Maybe models or the level of jack/garrus detail- but character art would need to be created....(eg the prev. Character set)Not thrilled with a lot of the suggestions so far, but I'm picky. A lot sound good but some flat/bland....

I suggest:
Team lithograph(I know we already have one. Dont like Miranda lol) but I want a more relaxed team lithograph. from me1-3. The classic Poker/drinking or something. Shepard included. If interest, perhaps make afemshep one too. 
Fanart by Helstern?


Characters Portraits:
-1 No: Samara, James Vega, zaeed Massani, Kaidan Alenko, Samantha Traynor, Ashley William
+1st- Mordin (firstchoice scenery type. Beach, something warm and fuzzy)
+1st- Liara T'Soni 
+2nd- Clan Leader Urdnot Wrex (notmyfirst choice but maybe down the line. Cheering victory?)
+2nd- Kasumi(styled like the DLC image -w/o kayjee. Something sentimental)

Landscapes/Settings:
-1 No: Rannoch, geth Concensus , Kalros vs. Reaper Destroye, Oversized Alliance Normandy SR-2. This picture, Destiny Ascension, tuchunka Ruins, Citadel Council Chambers, Mars, surkesh,  Normandy CIC
+1st- Space Battle Over Earth
+1st- Palaven Burning. Not sure how it it would turn out nice, who but perhaps Garrus or turains in the foreground?)
+2nd- Full Shot of The Citadel (later we already have a citadel litho)
+2nd- Mass Relay (not visually exciting but a classic)

edit: afew pics...

This is a great list. Thanks and it's being passed along to the folks to who create the lithographs.
