Subject: Name that Artist ?!
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 1997 16:00:35 +0000
Was browsing thru my collection of Shadowrun material this weekend
as I was havin' a big day by the scanner and well stumbled upon
something I need some clearification on ...

Who drew the covers of "Bloodsport" and "Never deal with a dragon" ?
It doesn't say in my books among the credits ... My guess is that
John Zeleznik drew Never deal ... since he drew the other covers in
that trilogy but I am not sure ...

How do you spell Zeleznik ? In most of the novells it is spelled
Zeleznick but in the sourcebooks and "major" covers it is spelled
Zeleznik and if you look at his signature it is also spelled
Zeleznik. Real sloppy work from whoever edited and check the books ..
Spelling a persons name wrong is just a giant slap in the face if you
ask me ...

Cover of Shadowboxer is drawn by Royo ? Is that Louise Royo that
drew Fields of Fire or is it someone else ?

Romas ... What is his last name ? Is it Kukalis or is it Croallus ?
or are they two different persons ? It most of the books it says
Kukalis but then in most books they also spelled Zeleznik with a ck
..

Last artist up for question is Jim Thiesen or Thitsen ... Hmmm
Thiesen sound more correct but they you can never know ...

At first glaze most of the shadowrun novells look really good but
have you tried meassuring them ? It is the background image and then
they slap on the shadowrun logo and so forth and well they are not
exactly doing a very good job ... it usually comes at a very bad
angel .. you rarely see it but if you look really close it becomes
quite obvious ...

These questions might be better directed to Joel Biske, who's done a lot
of the art direction for FASA. I, um, don't have his email addy handy,
but he has appeared now and again on the SRCard list; perhaps Loki or
(better yet) Jon Szeto can pass it along to you.

Don't ask me about artwork for FASA products. I just write the stuff, I don't
draw it. (Heck, I even do ugly stick figures :)

I suggest you direct your queries about "who drew what" to either
FASAArt@***.com or FASAInfo@***.com.

OK, Thanks for that information ... I will now continue in my search
for truth and justice :)

That would be the addy, but I don;t think it's Joel's addy anymore... He's
no longer working as Assistant Art Director for FASA... he moved out west
(I think) and is working freelance now...
