I guess.

Hmm...  the troll could be, but what about his ammunition?  Each of his bullets is like the size of that girl's forearms.  :P
20mm AR with an 80mm grenade launcher?


I don't know. I just think it looks cool.

I love the art - I just get irritated when I see rather obvious errors like 20 foot tall trolls and such.  :P

Measuring, and assuming that the human-looking fellow in the image is roughly 1.8 meters tall, it turns out that troll is roughly 3 meters tall... that doesn't actually seem all that far off of normal to me.

...though I guess that would make him 10' tall while the average troll is only 8' 2" tall according to the SR5 book.

But then, the book also says the average human is just under 5' 9" and I am 6' 3" - so if trolls experience the same degree of deviation as humans in height, then my equivalent "tallness" would make a troll 8' 10.5", and if we took the equivalent "tallness" of the troll depicted in the art and scaled it to human ranges of height, well, it's only 7' tall - not incredibly uncommon at all.

I actually think the proportions in the art are good - shows how seriously huge trolls have always been, even though the art kept depicting them as barely taller than humans.

The second picture is definitely a lot better, certainly.  I'll drop the subject for now, because I'm not an artist and I can't elaborate much on what artists use to determine perspective drawing.

Is Echo Mirage a sourcebook, setting book, or piece of fiction? I need to know which frequency to use for my squeal of joy.

Nice artwork on the covers.

Especially like the SR symbol on the guys shirt on the middle cover, hope that stays for final publication.

Assuming the spine will actually be thicker, those look like mass market paperback ratios.

I can't wait for these to come out. I already have shelf spots for them!

Also, I have to agree, the guy with the guns and Shadowrun symbol shirt is good ^^
