Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Jessica Hickman

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

Yes, there are a great number of entries that feature attractive women in these Art Appreciation Moments of the Day, and while it is nice to gaze upon the female form, it is more interesting to see how female artists portray the form. Here’s a fun Catwoman piece by Jessica Hickman, for the Batman Archives Sketch Cards Series.

My drawing on one of Mark McHaley’s Batman Archives sketch cards. He then colored it as only he can. I love how he lays down the paint and can get such detail with simple brushstokes.

I like his style, but sometimes his anatomy is way out of whack to the point that if some of his creations were alive and in the poses he places them, they would beg for someone to kill them to alleviate the pain.
