Description
"The Comedian" from "Watchmen"Based on his movie appearance, I did this for (it's his birthday, say happy birthday to him dammit, lol!)
If you've read Watchmen or seen the movie, this dude needs no introduction
The actor who played him (name escapes me) in the movie did an AMAZING job, I have a problem deciding whether him or Rorschach was the better performance (in my opinion, lol)
Can't wait for the director's cut of the movie when it comes out in July!!

Love it! The Comedian is totally my favorite. I don't know why! After all, I'm a lady and he's a rapist (among other things). I just can't help it!!! D:
Maybe it's because I thought Robert Downey Jr. played him for the first part of the movie, but his actor isn't RDJ. BAH! Must get head checked. Anyway, I completely agree, That-Guy-Who-Isn't-Robert-Downey-Jr. and Rorschach were the best in the movie!!

lol well the actor who played him did an AWESOME job making you at least sympathize with him despite his flaws and bad history, so that went a long way

The movie was okay, partially due to Dr. Manhattan, no costume equals no fun

YES. Did I ever tell you I love how smooth you make the lines and colors? Well, now I did.
And the Comedian is great...ah, Watchmen...good stuff.

Thanks! Glad ya like my style
THis reminds me that I really, really need to add Watchmen to the character turnaround control art thingymabobber thingy project

Of course! I like seeing different takes on things, as I do it myself too, and it's fun! I'm fiddling with my weirdness with wanting to draw a bunch of the TFs in ref sheet mode, (mostly when I try and attempt doing my TF fancomic thing...ATTEMPT) so many of them though...and that isn't even including the OCs, lol.
And oooh that would be cool!

Its funny,ever since Dreamwave crashed and burned people dont seem so afraid to experiment and go wild with their creativity towards TFs and other characters. Variety is the spice of life!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, true that, true that. Now, if I can wrap my head around it and stick with it, that would be ace. Got a bad problem with second guessing myself a bit too much, LOL. But true, variety is key.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh man, second guessing is SUCH a pain, lol it took me YEARS just to "sorta" be able to push myself past second guessing, it stopped me from getting anything done for a long long time
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahhh i'm still in that position, BUT i'm slowly, SLOWLY beating it back...back with the pencils of doom, apparently. Though i'm left now getting mad at anything that isn't TF related in some way, LOL. If it's not one thing, it's the other. ><;

I don't think it ever really goes away, its like a curse

You have such a clean and professional style it just makes everything look great.
*goes off to fav the rest of your gallery because of poor impulse control*

lol well thank you very much, that really does mean a lot to me to hear you like it so much
And I sincerely hope you'll like what I have one the way

Super snazzy, I normally see him as a fat sleaze bucket, so this is a pretty sweet take, and well drawn, too. Nice work!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol he is a sleaze bucket aint he 
Glad ya like my take
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, I will be waiting for you to get around to it
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I guess I'll have to promise to do it now XD

Dude, that is one seriously mean ass mo'fo pictured here!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I'm not normally very good with likenesses, but I think I pulled off enough of the actor's mean mofoness to look like him
π: 0 β©: 1
You did a rad job on him. My favourite character for sure. c:

He was such an awesome character, wasn't he
Thankya kindly!

That's a very Bruce Timm looking Comedian, but I like it a lot. Captured his snarkiness in a Saturday Morning kind of way.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thankya kindly!
Timm and X-Men Evolution have seemed to be my most notable influences as of late, dunno why X-Men Evolution, but Timm's a legend its hard not to take elements from him when aiming for animation influenced artwork. Glad ya like it
π: 0 β©: 1
I always feel like Evolution was Marvel's answer to all the Timm designed DC shows like JLU. So it's a similar sort of style.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah and it seems like some of their other animated projects kinda followed the same sorta vibe Evolution had, the new Wolverine and the X-Men is a good example, as is the Ultimate Avengers movies.

yeah, he was AWESOME. So strange to have a character that does such awful things yet you feel so sorry for him and are upset at his death. And he's nuts, so thats a plus, lol :-P
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah! good point! i know, he really did awful things but he is still a human with deep emotions. I think he is interesting cuz his vision of the reality isnΒ΄t just "iΒ΄m a hero, iΒ΄ll save people", no, he knows that sometimes you need do bad things for make good. I think that heΒ΄s more an anti-hero...and of course..he is nuts XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup!
But Ozy's plan was even too far for him, and Eddie was supposed to be the worst one, such conflicting character concepts, I love it so
π: 0 β©: 0
One of my favorite characters in the Watchmen
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, surprising for such a horrible person he's just such an amazing character as the story progresses. He was the only one who "got the joke" so to speak. He was right about everything, in his awful, awful way, lol
π: 0 β©: 1
I know.. I just love the character ^^

And his breakdown in front of Moloch was like WOW :-P

Well thank you, thats very kind of you to say

thankya kindly
I got Dr Manhattan and Rorschach in the works as well. Was supposed to have had them done for this week, but I got bogged down with stuff, so it'll be early next week when I have those done and posted

I have to agree with you, it really is hard to to chose which actor did better, because they both pulled off each character AMAZINGLY well.
Lovely style

And I can't forget about the dude that played Dan, he was just the perfect Nite-Owl!
And also, thank you, I'm glad you liked it
π: 0 β©: 1
He really was!! I've always been a sucker for the cute nerdy guys, and the guy theye got for Dan was definitely spot on X3
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I'm glad they got him (his name escapes) to play him cuz I can't think of many actors who will not only play a dork, but put on 40 pounds AND take their clothes off on camera with said extra weight on. That takes balls :-P
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, I didn't even think of that 0.0 You have a very valid point. I think that just makes him that much more awesome :3
π: 0 β©: 1
xDDD!!! :-P
Man, I can;t WAIT for the director's cut... still like 2 months to go
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed! I keep trying to tell myself "wait to buy it, wait to buy it, WAIT TO BUY IT", cause I know as soon as I do, they're gonna come out with an even COOLER edition in another 2 weeks 
π: 0 β©: 1
lol well at least for this first release they aren't doing that, the regular AND director's cut are coming out on the same day, so none of that double dipping crap. If there's a SUPER DUPER cut, it wont be for a LONG time.
I haven't seen any special feature stuff for Boondock Saints, I just have like a barebones DVD of it. And I've also seen "Overnight" xDDD
π: 0 β©: 1
Overnight? Why do I know that name? I have the barebones DVD too, got it for my birthday after I first fell in love with it (STILL my favorite movie to this day X3) I'm so excited for the DVD XD there's so many movies and DVDs I still need to get and see (I haven't even seen the new Star Trek movie!!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol Overnight was the documentary that was made of the making of Boondock Saints. That basically showed how the director of Boondock burned every bridge and destroyed his career by the end of it all. It wasn't intentional. The guys who were hired to film his "rise" got screwed by the end that they kept the footage to at least salvage the documentary to make their money back, and the footage was well, damning xDD
I'm still behind on movies m'self. Just got to see The Hangover yesterday though, friggin' AWESOME. xD
