One of those artists you meet and then are proud to say you've met him, Ovi was offering free sketches to all takers at the Emerald City Comicon. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to get a new take on Aquaman from someone like the writer/artist of Pigtale (a quirky comic about a private eye, a pig, and a wolf with a super-plasma weapon). As was to be expected, I got something completely different from all the other sketches. And Ovi also added to my fish count. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

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. Click for a random Aquaman sketch.
The Saturday Sketch ™ is brought to you by the letters "O", "N" and the number "86", 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.
