So for this commission, the client had seen the one I did with Jazmine and wanted to try something a bit similar with Maps here. If you don’t recognize her, Maps is the supporting friend character from Gotham Academy, whom I’ve drawn a few times before (always for this same client). The premise to this one seems to be she’s trading her ass for some gaming books, though she seems a lot happier with her trade-off than Jazmine did in that other pic.
I tried to have a little fun with the lighting to this one, giving the first panel a nostalgic summertime feel. The second panel is darker, probably in some basement or something, but a bit of the summer light is still coming in through a window.

I certainly have been missing the Maps artwork
