Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Adam Hughes

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.

We love featuring Adam Hughes in the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day, as we wrap the week with his Spider-Man piece from this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

Here’s a Spider-Man I did at San Diego Comic-Con, for one of three pre-sold sketches auctioned off on eBay.

I had a pencil sketch of Catwoman started, and in my exhausted SDCC-state, I thought it’d be an easy switcheroo to repencil it as Spidey. Hence the bizarre cat-scratch hand (sorry, James; you deserve my honesty). The word balloon was added in PS. It doesn’t really make the bad go away, hunh?

Pencil, PITT pen, warm & cool gray COPIC markers, Dr. Ph Marten’s Bleed-Proof White on Strathmore Drawing paper.

Good thing that word balloon was added, more jokes could have been made about his pose if it wasn’t there.

Caption: Spiderman the musical turned into being a poor rip-off of CATS!

I mean “My Spidey Sense is tingling!”
