Description Super-chibi Aquaman is here to make your inbox explode with his mega animu kawaii desu.   

It's been a while since I drew something this blatantly chibi simply for the sake of making something chibi. And I think I failed. He doesn't look as cute as I'm used to my chibis turning out. 8(

Plus, I'm sure at least ONE among you is questioning why I drew Aquaman, of all the things. Honestly, he's probably Yezno 's favorite DC hero, apart from Superman. And Booster Gold, who I'm sure Yezzy likes more than he thinks he does. And really, Aquaman does deserve a little more love. Poor guy; it's not HIS fault that people hate him on a misconception based upon how he was poorly portrayed in the old Super Friends cartoon. He's much better than most people think.
Which reminds me that at some point, I seriously need to draw the Hulk Hogan with a mullet Aquaman from "Justice League"/"Justice League Unlimited." NGL, you guys, Aquaman was a motherflippin' bad-ass in those cartoons.

Poor, pouty, adorable Arthur . I've missed your chibis!

It's great to see some Aquaman love. I always so, the guy is awesome. It's a shame that so many people hate on the guy. I mean, his portrayal in JL:tas and JLU were badass. He was great in Injustice. And I'd say that Aquaman is the bright and shiny corner of the New 52 that ACTUALLY WORKS unlike the rest of the changes the reboot made. Seriously, New 52 Aquaman is one of the few things that made me stick with the reboot during those moments I considered giving up on contemporary comics. And he and Mera are one of my favorite comic couples.

I like those few stray strands of hair that you gave chibi!Aquaman here. And those crossed arms? Daaw

-chuckles- I'm not going to lie, I've missed drawing chibis!

I believe the reason a lot of people just hate on him mostly stems from how he was portrayed in "Super Friends." His super power was that he could swim and talk to fish, and he rode a jet ski. It's a shame that that's caused less people to take him seriously over the years. He was a bad-ass in the cartoons WE grew up with, and I've heard from multiple people now, including you, that he's one of the best parts in Injustice. And on New 52 Aquaman, you and I agree! I feel like he's definitely one of the better parts of New 52 (because there's still so much of it that I am not happy with, but then there are some things that aren't all that bad,) and having read "Throne of Atlantis," I have to say that I really enjoy how he was handled in that graphic novel. He's very terrifying when he's angry, but I love how he's constantly trying to balance his love for the surface world and his love for Atlantis. And he and Mera are a wonderful couple; I would say she definitely balances Arthur out very well!

Heehee, thank you! And for some reason, those crossed arms just showed up on their own as I drew this. It wasn't my intent to originally draw him looking like such a grump. I had wanted to draw him with his trident, but that didn't exactly go as planned.

Speaking of Aquaman: www.comicvine.com/articles/thr…

Yeah, I'd say that the Super Friends cartoon started the jokes. And from there, the stereotype was perpetuated by things like Family Guy and The Big Bang Theory ('cuz let's face it, nobody nowadays has seen Super Friends ).
Aquaman is that part of the New 52 that gives me hope for the future . Throne of Atlantis was pretty good. I preferred the first and second arc of his New 52 series over it, but it was still good. Hopefully the animated film does him justice

That happens quite often, I think . Go in expected a Trident, and wind up with a sassy, arm-crossing Aquaman x)

HOLY CRAP THAT'S GOING TO BE A MOVIE?! That had better not be a hoax.

And don't forget Robot Chicken! They LOVED their Aquaman jokes.
Fair enough! Hmm, then I'll have to check out those arcs as well. At least for Will. He looooovvvvves his Aquaman.

TRUE! Arthur doesn't take anyone's crap!

LambdaZombie In reply to Yoru-the-Rogue [2014-06-28 17:11:03 +0000 UTC]

It seems pretty legitimate to me. Plus, it was sort of teased at the end of Justice League: War. Here's hoping they do a better job with Throne of Atlantis than with JL:W and Son of Batman.

Also true . I don't mind the jokes at Aquaman's expense - in fact, most of the time they're pretty funny. But it's too bad that the parodies seriously hurt the guys street cred. Hopefully Arthur's live-action appearance in the upcoming Justice League movie will help to boost his popularity.

If you ever get your hands on the first arc, let me know. It's is absolutely worth it to just read the first four issues of the New 52 Aquaman. Great setup to the character and one of my favorite openings to a new series.

Well, don't hold me to it, as we have a lot going on already and finances to work out, but if luck is with me, then I hope to commission you at some point later in the summer and help you out. It's just a slim possibility at the moment, but I hope it works out, because I would love to commission you and help you out.
