Frank's Sketchbook Entry of the Day

He's the obvious one, yet somehow I forgot about him till now. Finally, a story involving Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas, that's not completely contrived so it can involve water. Seems like he'd be the perfect person for the job.

Except, his power is basically getting fish to do his work for him. And cleaning up toxic oil spills really isn't the strong suit of marine life.

I should note this is the Justice League/Superfriends era Aquaman that I remember. Two fully functional hands and no long Poseidon-like flowing locks,

Pencil sketch and ink done by hand, then scanned in to be processed, cleaned, colored, shaded, and otherwise messed with using pen tablet goodness. I think the shading is pretty decent in places.

Both pictures were based on images found on the web. The first was mostly a hand-drawn rip-off. The second was a twist on Aquaman #45 inspired by this image which is a modification of #45 dealing with him and the oil spill (so yes, there are no new ideas). However, it was a girl mourning Aquaman's death, so his pose and position are my doing.
