Artist's Comments

Here's another banner/bookmark, featuring DC's king of the seven seas, Aquaman. At this point I guess I'm just drawing whatever characters I dig, and despite his history I flippin' dig Aquaman. This is actually even a little different since last time I drew him for the mugshots. This one intentionally mirrors the Superman bookmark, you'll see why eventually.

I'm really trying to push different kinds of lighting, especially in the face, and letting the washes take the reigns a little more over the spot blacks. It was a lot of fun trying to get that stormy mood too.

I know at this point it looks like I'm just going with the big seven, but hopefully you'll be somewhat surprised with the next couple of them.

Aquaman is property of DC comics.

Why DC doesn't give Aquaman a fresh new start is beyond me. Such a great character. Unfortunately he has been DC's whipping boy for a long time now.

I think part of the problem is starting to become that they've tried to re-vamp him too many times, he's starting to get a case of Hawkman syndrome. I totally agree with you though, such great potential.

Good point. They could just pull a Spider Man, and say "just kidding!" This is what we really want to do with the character...

YO Kiddos...DC comics will make a Aquaman´s revamp soon. Keep reading Blackest Night cause there´s some good rumors that Geoff Johns will put his Midas´hands on him.

BTW...Evan Bro...I LOVED this art...

As an Aquaman fan I LOVED what you did.

Best wishes.

I loved Aquaman during Grant Morrison's run on JLA even though I was never crazy about the harpoon hand look he had at the time. I'm glad you went with his classic outfit. :D
