I'm running out of sketches that I have permission to post. In three weeks I'm going to have to stop, unless I can contact a few more artists. But hey, the sketches and permissions from the Emerald City Comicon lasted quite some time, and now I've got some more permissions from the miracle of e-mail...
This might be the longest delay between sending a note and getting any answer at all that I've got. Mark Crilley was rather busy when my e-mail reached him, so the response didn't get to me for over two months. But here it is! AquAkiko, the non-Aquaman sketch that at least gives a nod to my aquatic hero.

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.
The Saturday Sketch ™ is brought to you by the letters "M", "C" and the number "62", and also courtesy the fine artists who pour their lives into producing wonderful comic books, then come to conventions only to get asked by geeky fangirls for a sketch of Aquaman. Support an artist, buy a comic book.
