I'd never heard of Girl Genius when I got this sketch (it was still a couple of years away from publication), but I knew who Phil Foglio was. To me, Phil was the guy who did the covers for the Myth books, and a few illustrations for Magic cards. I never really thought of him as a comic book artist, though. I was absolutely delighted with the sketch, which is typical Phil while fun Aquaman at the same time.
AQUAMAN

Studio Foglio
As a reminder: Almost every sketch in my sketchbook was non-commissioned and done on the floor of a con. These are not the best works of the artists. These are only representative of what the artist can do under pressure in a loud, crowded, and often stressed-out environment. Most of them were done as quickly as possible, to prevent huge lines from forming. Don't judge any of these artists negatively by the artwork you see, instead be as impressed as I am by what they accomplished in far-from-ideal conditions.
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. Click for a random Aquaman sketch.
