100 Femme Fatales

(Antimatter, 2006)

Artist Mike Hoffman serves up a heaping helping of 100 dangerously beautiful women in this collection of black and white artwork. The book features a number of classic motifs, including jungle girls, warrior queens, vampires, female demons and aliens, and science fiction heroines, but Hoffman manages to make each piece unique. In addition to providing each femme fatale with a different background or prop, Hoffman demonstrates his proficiency with paint, ink, and pencil. He also experiments with the levels of detail and shading, creating pieces that are strikingly different in style.
