Suggestion: Water Breathing Humans

Water-Breathing Humans has a pretty nice image of Aquaman on it, but it seems to be fan art, and I can't find it in a larger size. It's also kinda hard to tell he's underwater since he's on a throne.

From the suggestions, [tup] to 1.1. I'm also fine with 1.4.

My only concern with 1.4 is the slushie might be seen as a breathing apparatus somehow. XD

Decided to do an attempt at a cropped version for 1.4 in case it wins. With some very light editing to be just a bit more vivid.

I've linked it to ComicBook.Aquaman instead of ComicBook.Aquaman 2025 because this image is a variant cover, so not really connected to the story arcs (or even the art style) in the latter.

Changing to 11[tup]; feel like it's less cluttered without the cover markup.

[tup] 11

I don't think there's a concern about it being seen as a breathing apparatus. The general posture of the guy and the shape of the item pretty evidently suggests "cup with a drink inside" to me.

The concept's got plenty of consensus, so 11's in and the tag's updated. Recycle the caption?
