I confess I don't know much about Duncan Rouleau. This sketch was from early in my sketch-getting days, when I saw an artist and just asked if they knew how to draw Aquaman. Sometimes I got odd looks, but just as often I got great sketches. I'm afraid this scan doesn't really do this sketch justice. It's a lot better than it looks. I had to darken the picture to get some of the detail, and that makes it look less fantastic. If I ever get a better scanner, I'll rescan this one for sure.
AQUAMAN
by Duncan Rouleau
14 November 1999

Duncan Rouleau's Website
This is from my early days of sketch getting, only the second convention I collected sketches in my first sketchbook. Phil Foglio started out that wonderful day, and Art Adams was the final sketch, but right before I visited Art Adams, and right after Matt Clark took a long time to do a sketch using negative space that still blows me away, Duncan Rouleau put in an effort that was so different and cool that I still find myself stopping to just gaze at the image whenever I flip through the sketchbook. Yes, Rouleau has a different style. And that is a great thing, in my book.
To see all the sketches I have permission to post so far, check out my Sketchbook Page. If you have any contact information for any of the other artists I'm trying to contact, please e-mail me.
