I didn't like a lot of the early Shadowrun art, but I remember a picture of some cheerfully crazy runners driving a hijacked van with a terrified Lone Star officer tied upside down to the front. That was good for a smile.
I also like the cover of Magic in the Shadows, not for the style of the artwork so much, but because I like how the city spirit is depicted. It's similar to how I pictured them and I like it. But fair shout to the modern stuff. I thought the cover of Runner Havens was very good and I really like the islamic mage in Street Magic here. Final winners, unless I can think of any others, are probably joint covers of either Queen Euphoria or the first Harlequin adventure. EDIT: Or the Orc gun adept from the SR4 stock characters. Now that is how an orc looks. |

Second that. It's an awesome piece of art and covers combat perfectly. 8) |

1ed/2ed cover. Echo that.
I'll also suggest the cover of the Seattle sourcebook. But my favorite is (I think) from the cover of Sprawl Sites. The one with the somewhat cowboyish guy walking away down the alley with magical energy aroud his fingertips, with a rat and a troll (?) skull in the foreground and the sleazy neon ads in the background. Can't find it right now. |

that sprawl sites image used to be one of my favorites. I look at it now and think "bleh" but it's already in my heart.
So much of Bradstreet's work for SR was really excellent. The most iconic Shadowrun image ever, though, has to be the 1st/2nd edition cover. |

A lot of the art from Imago. Sorry, no linkage.

You mean this picture I believe? It's not a very good quality scan I'm afarid since I actually nicked it out of the old SNES Shadowrun game manual. :D |

Yes! That's it. Don't know if it's the scan or maybe my copy, but I seem to remember bullets going by. Have a mind like a steel trap though everything that goes in there gets mangled. Including that quote.

I like his hyper-realistic art style. What happened to him?

According to his website at http://www.timbradstreet.com he's alive and well. Maybe FASA didn't pay him enough for his work or he lost interest in SR?

Maybe something happened like what happened with Stackpole? Talented unknown individual works for small company with smallish pay that will actually hire them, their work is good enough to give them a solid reputation, they move on to more mass-market gigs that pay significantly better but are very hard to get without a solid reputation?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Bradstreet
He did a lot of work for World of Darkness too - really good stuff. Looks like now, he's just doing comics and album covers. "As of now Tim is hard at work creating more movie posters, doing conceptual art for film and video games, Currently he is inking and illustrating covers for BAD PLANET alongside co-creator's Steve Niles, Thomas Jane, and Lewis Larosa Bradstreet also has his sights set on taking his character Gallows and the story of Red Sky Diary to the silver screen. Tim and wife Missy reside in San Diego, California." His blog is at http://www.timbradstreet.typepad.com/ |

I THOUGHT the image's style looked familiar. I just wish he still did SR artwork.
Who did the cover of Street Magic? |

Checking the pdf the cover art is credited to a one Michael Komarck. And from his site it would appear he also did the very nice cover for Running Wild as well.

A formerly scheduled sourcebook on all things Critter, possibly slated for future release in an altered state.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really not keen on that picture. On a technical level it's excellent, but… why is there a Hellhound there? It just doesn't make any sense… (When I say "there", I mean "in the middle of an urban, apparently public area", not "on the cover of a critter-oriented sourcebook") ~J |

Shit, I plan on being in an altered state this weekend, but I don't think the book is ready... [Ah, intentional misreadings, how fun you can be.] |

Because he was very cute as a puppy. I'm more concerned with why the hellhounds are flying. |

Maybe they escaped from the Parashield office? It's not actually a public area? Other? :) |

The cybered hellhounds are there because they either escaped from Parashield in the background or they are guard dogs for the site, duh! They're flying because that's how dogs attack people, duh! Haven't you guys seen The Big Boss (Chinese Connection) with Bruce Lee? Those German Shepherds do a mean leap attack on his ass. :D
What I'm wondering is why that gunslinger adept is so pleased with that flamethrower attack? Perhaps she is a ... firecrotch? :D |
