AquaSketch by Kevin Maguire - 2009

sg
This was the awesome headshot done for me by Kevin Maguire, that was started at the 2009 New York Con and "finished" at the 2009 Philly con a few months later.

Kevin, being a master of facial expressions, had a whole table full of headshots of various DC characters like Hawkman, Blue Beetle, and Guy Gardner. And even though there's no costume detail here, this is unmistakably Aquaman--I love it, and it was worth the wait!

    It's a fantastic drawing alright, very expressive.

    Anybody else see Eugene Tackleberry?

    This is uber-spiffy!
    I loved Maguire's covers for the short-lived McLaughlin/Hoover series.
    Kevin Maguire truly is one of the comic masters of our generation.

    An excellent drawing. If the real Aquaman ever gets a series again, it would be nice to see Kevin Maguire drawing him.

    Sweet! Very "Hero of the Beach". Looks like he was channeling Cardy a bit.

    Well it's defintiely Aquaman, which is good. But he looks a little too thickset for my tastes. Still, a very talented artist.
