While at Anglicon, sitting in the Hospitality Suite, I noticed a guy sketching. I peeked at his sketch and complimented him on it. After a short conversation, in which I mentioned my Aquaman sketchbook, he turned back to his drawing and I turned to chat with somebody else. A few minutes later he came over to me with this wonderful little sketch, and said I could post it on my website if I wanted to. He didn't tell me his real name, and made it clear that his artist name starts with a "$" and not an "S". In any case, this is one more sketch for me to post before I run out of permissions... Enjoy!
AQUA SQUIRT

(permission to post given 16 October 2004 in person)
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 "A", "V" and the number "72", 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.
