"Laurie Juspeczyk: Is that what you are? The most powerful thing in the universe and you're just a puppet following a script?
Doctor Manhattan: We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings."

Wednesday already, folks!

And I'm keeping a good pace here with my warm-ups. I may hit my goal of doing an update-a-day finally Today's warm-up is following the Watchmen series I began with Dr. Manhattan. This time around, I decided to tackle his girlfriend and the major female character in the comic: The Silk Spectre. Though maybe it should be noted that she's the second incarnation of the heroine, since her mother was the first back in the Golden Age portrayed in the comic.

Laurie might not seem like a huge fan favorite, as she's always shadowed a bit by her male counterparts, but she's as integral to the tale as all its other parts of course. In fact, I'd go as far as to say she's a bit of what holds the whole 'team' together if you will. In a world driven by psychopaths and godlike beings of pure testosterone, she offers an alternative view to the whole conflict that is much cleaner; more pure. She still has her struggles and dark areas, but she manages to face them with a more emotional investment and can even move Dr. Manhattan to return to Earth's aid by plucking him out of his narrow view of humanity.

I decided to place her on Mars, to evoke the aforementioned conversation with Manhattan, arguably one of her best scenes in the comic. I had a blast drawing her costume, as I always do when rendering transparent fabric

I hope you enjoy this one as much as the others and see you tomorrow!
