Caution:Large image. Had to full view it's size, since little details would be too hard to see.


Been meaning to draw a Shadowrun pic like this for a while now, I even had a couple of failed attempts. But I finally complete one that I'm happy with.

So here's Jake Armitage walking through the streets of Seattle. I tried to fit as many references to the game as possible, including:

1.The poster in the entrance to Daley Station is a poster you'll see throughout the game.

2. The electronic sign is Daley Station, one of the monorail stations in the game.

3. The poster above Daley Station is a poster I made up to promote of the products in the game called "Slap-Patches" which give you instant health, and more strength(like steroids). I even based the poster off of an old Jesse Ventura anti-steroid poster.

4. The pink sign with the asian characters is one seen in the game above a Shaman/Magic shop.

5. The building next to the magic shop is labeled "Ed's Patch & Fix". When you arrive at Ed's in the game, the doctor(who I'm assuming is named Ed) attempts to upgrade your abilities, but instead accidently triggers a cortes bomb embedded into Jake's head. You only have a short amount of time to disarm it after that.

6. Big tv screen on building in background is an anime video promoting Maria Mercurial, a diva/superstar that is mentioned in the game quite a bit.

7. The other pink sign and the green sign are other signs found in the game(one of the signs is, but I can't remember which). Whichever one it is, it's the sign to a weapons shop.

8. Lastly, we have the machine at the very front, which says "Thank you for using Eco-Tel", which is a videophone service that is used in the game.

All other signs are based off other pictures(pics of Blade Runner, Akira, or other Shadowrun games). And, as you can tell, the image is heavily Blade Runner inspired. Even the layout of the city was based off of a Blade Runner screen capture.
