Artist's Comments

I recently finished reading the graphic novel (yes, it's true, I was a Watchmen virgin), and needless to say, I liked it a lot. The first half was a little on the boring side, but the second half more than made up for it. I can definitely see why it's a classic. Very intense and well-written -- and I can see why people go back and read it multiple times. I have the bug to re-read it already. Anyway, it's been so long since I took a few hours off to draw something for myself, so here's my take on the gang.

Pencil, brush pen, then colored in Photoshop.

Spec-frickin'-tacular. Nice composition and everything. The effects on Spectre's costume are very well done and I like that Rorshach's holding his journal.

Like the graphic novel, deserves closer study. :)

no way, I'm reading it right now (it's on my desk as I type)... for the first time... it is a great read. I like your art better than what I'm looking at! Great piece, and good for you doing something for yourself... goodness I wish I could draw.

I was wondering if I'd ever see you squeeze out a Watchmen piece. I'm really glad you did - it's absolutely gorgeous. :D
