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.

And here's the next page.  I couldn't find a copy of the pencils but here are the inks and colors.  DC must have removed the little burst in panel four, maybe because it didn't look real enough?

I did one and two page "reality checks" for this 4-issue mini-series. The rest of the art was by Hilary Barta and John Nyberg.  The editor had another artist in mind and I think Hil had to do some lobbying to get me hired, but in the end, they even let me do my own lettering and color guides and they didn't fire me when my drawings started getting a bit too cartoony and less "real".

Pencils for the Grimwood cover

Who knew I'd made a copy of the pencils before I started painting this all those years ago?  I didn't, until I found this halftone stat the other day.
