Aquaman!

Sorry about the lack of posting in the last week, everybody. Good buddy Jason Latino came up over the weekend, I've been doing some teaching this week, and my birthday was Monday. Carla (being the awesome wife she is) took me to Ann Arbor for the day. We met with my grandparents for lunch (Pizza!) walked around Ann Arbor (picked up a new copy of Man with the Getaway Face!) and was surprised to see a bunch of my friends waiting for me at dinner. Suffice to say it was a great day and I'm still recovering.

But here's a new bookmark/banner for you guys, Aquaman, king of Atlantis. At this point, I'm really just putting whatever characters I like in these, 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.

4 of these things are not like the others:

No frickin' way was your birthday Monday! My was yesterday! Happy belated birthday, Evan!

Love these banners, almost as much as the mugshots.

Evan-

That Aquaman piece is AWESOME.

Let me guess who's next... Wonder Woman? Na, The Flash, probably... I love that you're doing the main DC heroes! Great Work!

Thanks guys!

I don't know if I'll include Flash or not, or at the very least, if may not be the Flash you expect from me.
