Description
What can I say. I seem to be drawn (no pun intended) to the villains and the monsters.Here's a chance to revisit the Comedian from the Watchmen for a new commission. My usual process of doing some thumbnail layouts to get an idea on a pose. Sometimes one comes to me right away. In this case, I wanted to do a few different ones and let the buyer decide. I tend to get repetitive in my in-your-face kirby style poses. But hopefully the more I do this, the more I'll get comfortable trying different variations.
And since I didn't want to just leave the scrap paper with sketches only in pencil...I thought I'd draw up some head shots of the Comedian (and friends) and tinker around with inking them.

What do you use to ink? Your line quality is fabulous.

I really like pose #3. It has that creepy, lurking sense I always got from the Comedian, I never saw him as jumping around so much.

It's all great, but the Dr Manhattan headshot seems to stand apart for me, it's awesome!

Very cool. I just know that this is going to be awesome. Though Comedian may be somewhat of a monster, to me he's always come across as more of a hero.
Also, I really, really the head shot of the comedian with the cigar. And the Rorschach is hilarious.

The villians always have a more interesting story line and background anyway And if there weren't villians, our good guys wouldn't have any purpose
The sketches are very lively and full of movement, and they all seem very solid.
I love the inking, too, it's once again stunning
I love how you've applied your own style to Watchmen characters, but not in a way that it renders the character almost unrecognisable, which is very a good thing
