What is it?
If you’ve never seen an ArtoVision Shadow Box in action before, you’re in for a real treat.
Simulation showing the different levels of art used to create a very dimensional image.
This collectible splits a neatly arranged sea of faces between 4 layers of incredibly clear acrylic. The distance between them creates literal depth to give you a unique viewing experience. If you peer behind a layer, you will see more of what it’s obscuring underneath. As your vantage point changes, the parallax effect will give you the illusion of moving through the crowd. The artwork, created by BioWare concept artist Nick Thornborrow, features a diverse group of characters from across the Dragon Age games. Some of which are fan-favorites like Cassandra, Varric, Morrigan, and Solas.
Every character has a story that fans can fondly recall. The rich world-building of the franchise is reflected in their faces and costumes. This stunning collector’s item is made even more special by its limited edition size of only 200 worldwide. Each comes with a unique individual number and a Certificate of Authenticity.
