Well I better save this pic fast then (with your permission of course) and laminate it onto my copy of SR4 when it comes out. At least that way the awful picture will make me laugh rather than cry every time i see it.

I hope they bring the Old skool skull from the 1st and 2nd editions back and put it on the cover.

Here's something. what about this cover as a "Dust Jacket" and a plain black hardbound book underneath, with a silvery embossed SR logo?
Something like that might play well to all audiences. |

You know, the picture almost makes more sense if you assume the runners are trying to LEAVE the building.
The troll mage is trying to delay the obviously imminent security guards, the dwarf hacker is trying to lock the blast doors, the street sam is looking for guards outside the building, the devil rat is running away now because the team just came out the door. The only one who doesn't fit is the elf chick. I guess she's running towards the building to provide an alternate target for the sec guards, or she's gonna play "Bullets and Bracelets" with the auto rifle fire. My 2 nuyen worth. |

Well, I've seen the Fanpro 2005 catalog, and I know why the sam was looking at his arm in that image. This revision just looks out of place and awful.

You're absolutely right. The reason his arm is that way is because it's broken. He should be in pain..... |

At least the border and the Shadowrun logo are okay...

that does look pretty neat. Kinda takes away from the dorkiness of the actual picture

WOW... I really like the set up for the cover. The image itself still irks me, but the set up is brilliant.

Well, like I said, the layout-the border and logo-are pretty good. The art blows.

Sorry if this has been mentioned in the thread before, but I *think* Bradstreet has done some color SR work before. Actually I take that back, I'm not sure. I thought he did the cover for underworld sourcebook but I don't think that's correct now. He did do a nice street sam-esque painting that was in Dragon Magazine a long time ago but I couldn't tell you if that was for SR, CP2020, or just something he made up. Good illustration though. I just wish he didn't use photos *so damn much*. |

I could have done without the Matrix ripoff cascading kanj on the right-hand side of the cover. Other than that I like the new logo layout, the circuit board stuff is pretty cool too.

Aside from the color images he did/does for comics, I have no idea. This says Fred Fields did the cover of Underworld. |
