The beautiful piece above is by cartoonist Evan "Doc" Shaner, who has this (and bunch of other great pieces) up on his blog. Here's what he said about the piece: "Here's a new bookmark/banner for you guys, Aquaman, king of Atlantis. At this point, I'm really just putting whatever characters I like in these, and despite his history I flippin' dig Aquaman."
I wholeheartedly agree, Evan!

The last piece I wanted to show off was sent to me ages ago by F.O.A.M. member Neal Snow, a wonderfully bright, cheery shot of Tula, aka Aquagirl:

Luckily I was able to retrieve it from my dusty in-box, because I like it--it reminds me of those 60s Filmation cartoons, if Tula had ever shown up on the show. Thanks Neal!

I love that shaner Aquaman... great cross between modern comic tastes and classic style.
Also Rob, I wanted to apologize for not responding to your Wizard World Philly Con post. I did read it but it was such a busy time that I just didn't get back to it in time to comment. Great post and great fun.
You've done some upgrades here too Kudos. I love the image navigation on the sidebar.
Love the pics, except for the deep, dark eyes on the middle one. Too creepy for Aquaman!
And I like the look on Tula. Makes me think she just finished saying "Look, am I dead or not??? Make up your freakin' mind!"
Hah!
I have to agree that the CG Aquaman is a little too Arthur Curry by way of Freddy Kruger for my tastes, but I like all of Schoening's 2D stuff.
I really like that Tula by Neal Snow. I'm usually more of a fan of the Cardy / Aparo version with the flip in her hair but this is very nice.
Something very Archies Comics about the face - and I definitely mean that as a complement.
That Pixar-looking Aquaman is freakin' awesome! I can imagine him side-by-side with the Incredibles.
Really nice stuff.
