WIP - Watchmen Unmasked

It's still a work in progress, but I think (hope!) it's coherent enough for a first glance...

Lookin good :)

You say it's a WIP; where are you planning to go with it?

(Not that I have a plan for any of this, but) I'm thinking about making the background have to do with their "hero" modes in order to identify them better to a more casual observer. My style is very not graphic, but a lot of the background ideas I've got at the moment are, so part of the challenge is figuring out how to resolve that. I also know that I want to re-do these portraits on either grey or black paper to help with shading and to correct the scale differences that I artificially corrected in this image. It's the kind of thing that could either take just a few hours if I get suddenly inspired, or I could end up laboring for months on it. x-P

Thanks! Walter was the first to get drawn (natch, for me), and it's always weird drawing him without the mask! xD

I realized I was also creating sort of a "left=past, right=future" dynamic.
With Jon staring straight ahead - that is awesome. I always love your art, it's so carefully done.

Aw! ^^ I'm just glad it seems to be working! Moore's characters always lend themselves to geeky fun like that. :D

Oh it's JON! I didn't recognize him with hair. And, you know, a facial expression.

I love the way you've bookended it with angry smoking Eddie and Laurie.

and anxious Dan is hot. Um. yeah.

IKR? Drawing him scared me to death/drove me nuts 'cos he's only in, like, three pages in the GN pre-accident as an adult and I really wanted to just let him be human for a moment.

Eddie was the last one I drew, and he sort of wrapped it all up like that. :D

and yeah, anxious Dan is pretty hot, which is likely why he got stuck in my head... xD
