Description An illustration for a cyberpunk adventure, which I *think* appeared in an issue of Challenge magazine, though I don't remember which one. Probably around 1991 or 92?
The figure work is painfully weak, but the tech came together pretty well. The drawing is kind of mid-way in my development, between what I was doing in the Cyberpunk books, and when I really got my groove on with Battletech and Shadowrun.

EDIT: Thanks to ~KhairulHisham for tracking it down! Challenge #61, 1992.

i really like this would you draw a boy wearing googles and a black hooded leather jacket with a cyberdeck plugged into his head standing with a futuristic gun on the top of a city

Love the old school black and white work. Love it.

I've fired a SPAS-12 btw. The weight gives them zero recoil.

LOVE the AV-4. Or is it already an AV-6?

It's been 20 years. Your guess is as good as mine...

Yup! I always liked how MEAN and sci-fi it looked. One of the few guns I've drawn over the years that I've actually held, too.

Lucky you. I'm Canadian and a gun nut.

I'm a Canuck too. But I had a friend who bought one back in the day, when our gun laws were looser. Can probably still find some as movie props...

Yeah, I am in Winnipeg, and there are movies shot here.

More likely, I can get one as Airsoft.

Yep. Challenge #61, 1992. "VTA: Heavy Duty Air Support" written by Laura K. Manuelian. I have it in my hand right now.

Heh, I guess I do! One of the many repeated themes from my body of work. Though I *think* this may have been the first time I did it...?
