London Games Festival auctions video game artworks Over 100 pieces of video game concept art from the London Games Festival Art Exhibition will begin to be auctioned today, with all proceeds going to Special Effect, a charity that helps those with diabilities through video games and technology. The artwork was originally on display at London's City Hall as part of the month-long London Games Festival and includes concept art from games such as Batman: Arkham City, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid. The collection will be auctioned off in three batches on the Exhibition's website at www.londongamesart.com. The first batch will go on sale today and features three signed pieces from Batman: Arkham City, two Fable 3 pieces signed by Peter Molyneux and the artists, a signed Metal Gear Solid "Raiden" canvass, plus pieces from Tomb Raider, Dishonored, Moshi Monsters and Runescape. The next three batches will then be made available on consecutive Mondays up until 3 December. "We were absolutely overwhelmed with the number of people that came to the exhibition," said Kirsty Payne, director of the London Games Festival. People from all walks of life - those who played games, and those who didn't - travelled far and wide to appreciate the phenomenal pieces of art which have been kindly donated by the industry. We were also immensely gratified by how everyone reacted when we showed them the work that SpecialEffect does - and we're incredibly excited about the potential this auction has. Amazing, one-of-a-kind pieces, with all proceeds going to this amazing charity. Not only is it going to be a good Christmas for the winning bidders, but for those who benefit from SpecialEffect's brilliant work too.
