"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...

...and I will look down and whisper 'no.' "
- excerpt from Rorschach's Journal - October 12th, 1985.

With the new Watchmen movie coming out next year and with me currently reading the original graphic novel for the 2nd time, I had the urge to paint the most interesting character from the book... Rorschach.

'Who Watches the Watchmen?'

I just heard last night that Fox is putting a lawsuit on WB for this movie because Fox purchased the rights for anything that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons had come up with (the rights were puchased in 1987). This had included the Watchmen. Rumors say that Fox wants to halt WB from releasing the movie permanantly.

Fox did not have a good year, with no BIG hits lately, I don't know why they want to kill off any royalties that might be owed to them.

Doctor Manhatton was always my favorite, but he is a bit overpowered for the team, I just like him because of his flaws.

I love the splashes on his hat from the rain, and great job on the buildings.

The buildings looks awesome, and, while the character himself is less distinct, he's pretty good as well. You do the fabric of his suit as well as you do metal armor.

I was thinking about doing Manhattan soon, I think he'd be interesting to paint.

I also heard about this whole Fox bullshit - it's so friggin' petty and I imagine if they try to halt the release of this film, the fan outcry will be huge. Fox didn't deserve a hit this year because all they released was shit. ;)

Have you seen the trailer for the movie yet? Go here: [link]

You'll be confused as all hell but the visuals are stunning and it may interest you enough to learn more about the Watchmen. :) Not your typical comic-book.

I had even heard that there will be a boycott of all Fox movies from a ton of people if the film isn't released.

It's a shame Titanic (from Fox) is still the record holder for the most $$$ made during release.
