Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Evan Shaner

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.

Here’s a trippy commission done by Evan Shaner, that features the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes that look like they’ve gone through the Herge treatment. It’s LoSH meets Tintin in today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day!

A commission of the Silver Age Legion founding members for :iconfrankphotos: featuring Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and Cosmic Boy.

I’m always up for some Silver Age goodness, so this was a lot of fun. I’ll admit I don’t know much about the Legion’s history but I love the character designs. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to tackle some more Legionnaires here soon.

Awesome!

Can I just say how much I’m loving this Legion-themed Art Appreciation Week? I really, really am.

This is HERGERIFFIC~!!!! Wow. I wonder what else would translate well into his “euro” stylings? (That’s a hint, Stephen, but maybe too narrow a concept for a whole “theme week”? I dunno?)

I like the Legion art too — but spread it out a bit! Give us some Dawnstar and Wildfire and Imra and Rokk in their skimpy costumes!
