Description
Another sketch of our tragic little hobo Walter J. Kovacs/Rorschach.--------
Picture was inspired by this quote:
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." -Oscar Wilde
And by this wonderful deviation. [link]

The concept is just great and so are your shading skills.

Wow, thank you very much. It was fun to draw, the shading did have a few snags (mostly trying to make sure the reflection had around the same tone as the main figure).
Plus, it's rather fun to try and capture to two sides of the tragic little hobo.
