Aquaman and Aqualadby ~Boy-Meets-Hero

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Books & Novels

Aquaman and Aqualad are among some of my favorite characters from DC comics. I've recently read some of their silver age stories in "Showcase Presents: Aquaman" and got such a kick out of Arthur and Garth's campy aquatic adventures! I love marine animals and have always liked the connection Aquaman had with them.

I'm really glad that Aquaman is a part of the current "Brightest Day" story line from DC, and he's a big part of the reason I'm collecting it. I just wish Garth was still around... (Damn you Black Lanterns!!!)

This project took me quite a while. I drew each element separately and then placed them together in Photoshop and colored and shaded them myself. I drew the scales on Aquaman's shirt by themselves and then added them in as a separate layer. That way I was able to colorize them much easier. I also experimented using a tablet and stylus to blend some of the colors together.

Please enjoy!

Truly beautiful...my only criticism...Garth should either be shirtless (which would be lovely!) or his navel shouldn't show through his shirt.

thank you

Aquaman is awesome and your artwork is spectacular.

You read Showcase Presents: Aquaman #1 yes? What did you think of "The Secret Of The Super-Safe" (Adventure Comics #265, 1959)? Am I wrong to think it was one of the best Aquaman stories ever? If I could make a "Greatest Aquaman Stories Ever Told" collection there would be two stories in it, guaranteed. That one. And "King Of The Convict Island" from More Fun Comics #82 (1942).

Thank you so much! Yes, I have all three volumes of Showcase Presents: Aquaman! The "Super Safe" story was very fun, indeed. I especially enjoyed reading the later stories with Ocean Master and Black Manta. It was very cool getting to read the introduction of Aqualad, Mera & Tula. I'm looking forward to the upcoming ongoing Aquaman series coming out later this year!

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...

A lot of people tell me they like the way I color! It's pretty easy once you learn the tricks. I made a set color palette for each character (keeping their base colors consistent in any setting), then add shading and lighting effects over the image.Here is Gabrielle's color swatch palette:A...
