Description
also posted on my sketchblog: [link]I think today's post manages to top the dumbness and nerdiness of my previous record holder . Here's Rorschach of the Watchmen , resurrected as a Black Lantern , presumably planning to extract vengeance from Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias .
This one turned out a little better than I expected. As I was drawing it, I had no idea how I was going to approach the coloring, but things ended up working out. Occasionally that happens. Occasionally.
For those who missed this particular detail--the ink blots on his mask are in the midst of forming the Black Lantern symbol--you can thank Josh for suggesting that! And the ring construct grapple gun is fairly accurately derived from Rorschach's device in Watchmen.
My apologies to Alan Moore . I love the man's work, but I can't resist the lure of stupidly awesome nerd crossovers! I've got another Watchmen-related post in the "Things That Should Not Be" category... I think I might have it ready for next week. Stay tuned, it'll be hi-larious!

i just wonder, what would he do? wouldd his outlook on life have changed? Would he gain some new insight that would make him more level headed? probably not.
never compromise. even in the face of death.

If he was a Black Lantern, I'm guessing he would a crazed and even more extreme version of his old self!

the carnage he would cause is unimaginable.

Part of me wonders how Rorschach would come back, seeing how he died

that's why he's a black lantern in my pic! all the black lanterns were brought back from the dead.

He's talking about how Rorschach was reduced to a stain on the ice.
Unless... maybe the Black Lantern'd Rorschach-smear could make a body from the ice...

AH, i see! well, in that case, i would say that Rorschach is in some kind of spectral form, since the costume conceals his body entirely. is that a sneaky enough answer?

"Criminals all living. Dead can't do wrongs. Course is obvious. Reminded of cheap British comic."
Goddamnit, why did I come up with that?

In all seriousness, there wasn't enough left of him to be resurrected.

Arguably no less of him than Johnny Quick when he merged with the Speed Force. Didn't keep HIM from coming back!

... I feel like Moore will come back from the dead (the stress has to have killed him by now, no one can convince me otherwise) and will rip off my skull cap for saying this - but man, that would be an interesting read. XD

I'm loving the style of colouring, feels very un-you... more painterly.
Still like your regular style, of course.

thanks on both counts, buddy.
there is something about it that was un-me... it might just be that there's so much black in the costume?
