A random collection of material from comic artist Kevin Nowlan. Started with the best of intentions, but like most other efforts, doomed to perish from neglect as soon as the novelty wears off.

Aquaman drawing
This was done for the third anniversary of Rob Kelly's Aquaman blog. I was really trying for a Neal Adams effect in the inks.
I think you got your Adams' effect across Kevin, but even more so (to me anyway) in the initial sketch, particularly the face. Something about it just screams Neal Adams, while the finished piece suggests it, but still lets us know it's you. Either way, very nice!
Adams has that really spontaneous inking style that I can never quite get. It makes sense that it would come through in the sketch, more than the finishes, where I'm working slower and more carefully.
