This piece started out as just a portrait of Mera, in my highly graphic, quasi-cut-paper style (so named because that's how they started out, I've long since gone all-digital). I just thought it would be fun to do a portrait of my favorite redhead (fictional division), something relaxing to work on in between client projects.
But as I worked on it, I thought hey, it'd be fun to have Mera holding an Aquaman comic book (featuring one of her favorite covers, I'm sure). And then the piece sort of morphed into a First Person ad for Aquaman, sort of playing up that old adage about you can tell how good a guy is by the woman who's with him. And since DC (Geoff Johns, specifically) has done such a great job transforming Mera into a top tier character, I figured an ad from her point of view, telling you how awesome her husband is, would be a good, effective way to promote any potential new Aquaman series.
You're welcome, DC.

Exceptional image! I love it!
beautiful work, great job!
Rob, If you have more stuff like this you need to share with us. The stuff I have seen so far has been Outrageous! I think Im going to refer to you as The Godfather FOAMer cause you have done more for AQ than anyone Ive seen. You inspire me to be a better fan. I thank you for your hard work and dedication.
It's awesome, Rob!
Don't ever be shy about showing off your talents.
Just awesome. Love it!
It's awesome Rob. And please show us more stuff. I still think your Universal Monster posters are the best I've seen on that subject.

Rob! that is a phenomenal piece. I love it! You definitely need to showcase more of your own work here on the shrine. Your talent is amazing. Share more with us!
Great job. Do more with other characters. (You can post them here; they're all friends of Aquaman.)
Really cool rob!, the colors really pop!
Art's always the best when it's from the heart - nice, Rob.
Mera Christmas!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
I'm always nervous about posting my work here (that's not what people come here for, as opposed to my pro site and my art blog, so all these compliments are quite appreciated!
Nice one Rob - this is really cool!
Love that logo too - easily the best AM has had :D
Great piece! I'm normally not a fan of totally digital drawings but the cut-out style is the one that I believe works best in that medium.
Really cool. I am actually collecting original artwork featuring both Mera and Aquaman. It is an awesome representation of my favorite(fictional) redhead as well. Take that Jean Grey. Great Job
Ashley Greene, right?
this is amazing!
