Description
"The world will look up and shout 'Save us!', and I'll look down whisper, 'No.'"

Rorschach, the anti-hero of Alan Moore's Watchmen. Rorschach is a superhero of sorts; a schizophrenic, who is no longer able to distinguish between his real identity and his alter-ego, who has worn his mask for so long that he has forgotten who he was underneath. Rorschach lives in a world of black and white, where good and evil are clearly defined, where justice is absolute, and where the end never justifies the means.

I'm really looking forward to the Watchmen film that's currently under production. Hopefully this one lives up to Alan Moore's standards.

Anyways, I started off trying to do this digitally, but then I realized that with my current skill at digital painting I could never properly create the kind of atmosphere that I can with shading, so I decided to draw it using traditional media i.e. good ol' pencil and eraser. Unfortunately, the scanner removed a lot of the expression that I tried to create with shading, and so the final result didn't quite live up to my expectations. The drawing looks better in real life. If you know me in real life, just ask and I'll show you. 'Til then, cheerios.

Pleasant dreams.
