Here's a sketch design I did a number years ago as a Next Generation type of thing I was doing. It's weird how close it is in places to the design Scott and David came up with. I followed Scott's great artwork and design and grabbed just a few things from this sketch to do the cover pencils posted above. Edit: Hawkman cover added.

Ha. You never know, Carter could be from Edinburgh originally. I was going from the Kingdom Come Hawkman if I remember correctly but the colors look more Native American I think. Which would just make the character even more confusing.

It's a Scottish/Egyptian/Native American hybrid? He's been reincarnated so many times it's all gotten mixed up!

First class, as always, KSM. I especially like the view of Atlantis. There is awe in Arthur's very stance...!
Oh, and that presentation of Hawkman is historically accurate; the ancient Egyptians wore a garment very much like a kilt (the name of which currently escapes me)--- and don't even get me started on the Roman toga!

Here's an Aquaman image I will most likely use for the cover for issue Zero or maybe number 2. I had a background sketched in but blanked it out so I can just create something in Photoshop. Very similar to the Hawkman cover and the Batman pic and I'd eventually like to do a mid-shot type of cover for each book in this style. Anyway, less words, more pictures... Sometime in the new future I'll actually have one of these Aquaman pics in color! Edit: Completed cover added.

My plate is full through the weekend at least. I can have it by Zero issue time though. No worries mate. (oh wait, that's an Aussie expression ;D)

Here's another pic I did for Lantern Lad's Aquaman: Year One series that is currently running on another site and will most likely run here later on.

That Aquaman pic is fantastic! You would put Ed McGuinness and Dexter Vines out of work! Love the redesign of Aquaman a at the top of the page, by the way. I say we make that his official DC2 "look."

Great art! I'd like to see some Nightwing stuff next time if you don't mind. One scene could have him crouched over the side of a roof. Or him standing with his fight sticks out. Some thing to think of that I'd appreciate.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I want to mention that a lot of this artwork will make it into the Galleries section at some point. There are full color cover versions of most of these that you'll be able to see after the grand opening so hopefully that's some kind of incentive. ;D
We're going to try and provide covers for each story but are a little light on artists, so if you writers know any good fan artists send them this way.
I could maybe do a Nightwing. I'm a little overloaded at the moment trying to put out as much artwork for the Launch as possible but in a few weeks I maybe can put something together.
