Been screwing around with the idea of developing a cartoony style to work in. Mixed results, thus far.

Little mishaps are inevitable when inking. Sometimes you make a line a little too heavy, and have to correct it later.

Sometimes, you drop your brush, and watch it go skipping across the page, leaving a trail of inky devastation in its wake.

That's hyperbole, but I promise, that's what it felt like at the time.

Such a bad background, I would have been better off just not drawing it.

Yuck.

Oh, I finished this up a couple nights ago, and then forgot about it. Still needs some work (lookit Kookaburra's teeny tiny head in the fifth panel!) but I'll fix that stuff when I ink it.

I wanted to take another crack at this character, but I'm just not feeling it. Didn't help that I had a splitting headache today, and a swollen index finger on my drawing hand yesterday.

Quick sketch for a banner image I want to do. Need to lower the mouths/reduce the chins a bit before inking.

Just a little color variant on the previous Aquaman design. I also changed his hair and nose to be more in line with the traditional look of the character.

Aquaman; Finished Inks

2011-02-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

I've always liked my idea of Aquaman, more than the actual Aquaman that appears in comics. In the comics, Aquaman's a dick. He's a snooty aristocrat, who just loves to mention that he reigns over 75% of the world. Basically, he's Namor the Sub-Mariner, but a few decades late.

But in my head? Aquaman's a pretty cool dude. This is a guy who was abandoned as a baby by his Atlantean parents, and raised by a humble lighthouse-keeper. He probably grew up on hamburgers and Ghostbusters, just like any of us. Then one day his adoptive father dies, and he takes off on an adventure, discovering his noble heritage, and all the responsibilities that come with it. Fast-forward a few years, and he's united his people, saved his kingdom, and become more wealthy and powerful than he ever dreamed possible. Unfortunately, he's now saddled with all the responsibility and pressure that goes along with it.

My ideal Aquaman's a guy who loves being a hero, hates being a politician, and every now and then sneaks up to the surface world to order a pizza, and catch a movie.
