The Sensational Swordfish by Eryck Webb

February 9, 2012 Comic Stuff, League of Aquatic Heroes

Here’s the third of the Holiday Commission League of Aquatic Heroes set I gifted to myself this Christmas, done by restless artist Eryck Webb. Swordfish is a swashbuckling mermaid, how could I give her any other adjective other than “sensational”?

It’s not clear in the two webcomics arcs how she goes from having two legs to a fish tail, but the answer is attached to that sash around her waist. It’s likely the only design requirement for her wardrobe ever.

In my comic series Raven Nevermore (coming soon!), in issue #3, a ship captain who carries contraband on her ship is introduced. She goes by the name Captain Alakai. Some people call her Swordfish. Coincidence? No. It’s simply my way of sending a shout out to alternate timeline / alternate world concepts in comic book history. It’s fun times.

The Incorruptible Orca by Eryck Webb

January 23, 2012 Comic Stuff, League of Aquatic Heroes

The second commission featuring the League of Aquatic Heroes members by artist Eryck Webb is in! Here you have the Incorruptible Orca! Dependable, honest and loyal, Orca propels through the oceans as an ever-vigilant sentry of the deep waters!

His posture here is telling of his chivalric nature; a trait that makes him possibly a bit naive, but he stands confidently and true.

Orca uses a high frequency sound waves to echo locate under and above water. The entire surface of his body reads the rebounding sound waves as the bounce off objects. He can emit sound blasts that can shatter objects and leave living creatures stunned or paralyzed. If it wasn’t for his devotion to a strict Code of Honor, he’d be a serious threat to the Seven Seas.

The Astonishing Boston Crab by Eryck Webb

December 15, 2011 Comic Stuff, League of Aquatic Heroes

The first of a set of commissions for the Holiday Season! League of Aquatic Heroes is still alive and well within my head. I’ve been following a Deviant Artist by the name of Eryck Webb for about 2 years now and have always wanted to work with him on something. He’s running a $20 per colour commission deal on Deviant Art for the Holidays. If you have any characters you want–original or otherwise–throw him an email (go to his Deviant Art page for details!)

The LOAH characters are a group I still wish to push in the future! I couldn’t pass up the chance to have Eryck give each toon some new life. Here’s the Astonishing Boston Crab! He’s always felt like something out of a pulp horror comic from the 60s in my mind. There’re some great texture here and I love the heavy shadows which add to the ambiance of his creepy factor!

Boston Crab by Inkling

June 5, 2011 Comic Stuff, League of Aquatic Heroes

Here’s an awesome commission done by Deviant artist Inkling. This is a fun redesign of Boston Crab from the League of Aquatic Heroes. He’s shown here making some modest choices to pants-up! This is a wonderful re-design and I hope Inkling will do other LOAH redesigns in the future!

1st LOAH Fanart Contest Winner: Kraken by Tomi Dzurovski

July 25, 2010 Comic Stuff, League of Aquatic Heroes

The winner is chosen for the first of what will assuredly be more contests to follow!

I can not stress enough how hard it was to pick just one… not just for ME as one of the judge but for all the ten judges. We each had a reason to pick our #1 choice and it’s remarkable to me that it was as versatile as the background of the judges. While recording the votes as they came in over the last 2 days I was on the edge of my seat as I watched numbers go up neck in neck.

I am extremely glad I did not have to choose the winner on my own and I am glad the winner was choosen as diplomatically as I could arrange. So, without further ado, the winner is Tomi Dzurovsk’s submission featuring Kraken!

Thank you all for not only taking the time to submit pieces for this contest and giving it a shot. Even if you are not regulars of the League of Aquatic Heroes site of webcomic there are not enough thanks we can give, trust us!

We all loved the submissions and are so very honoured to show them on the site proudly under the Fan Art page.
