Description An ACEO of Walter Kovacs standing in the snow, in front of a naked blue guy after being beaten up by a purple-clad Alexander the Great enthusiast.

It's not been a great day for Walter.

Acrylic on paper...Tiny sized!

It's photographed a bit dark, but...whatever.

Thank you so much. I hoped to do that. It really was a powerful moment and the absolute intensity in JEH's performance was mind boggling.

I love the little details here...the freckles and stubble. This was easily the best and worst part of the movie.

Thank you. Yeah, there wasn't much room for loads of detail so just bits and bobs here and there were added.

Such a sad and powerful scene.

You captured it perfectly.

Agreed. It was a gut punch, but I'm glad they didn't chicken out and have Rorschach live. That would have been wrong.

It was amazing. I remember watching it for the first time and being blown away by how it was done. That would have been a difficult scene to do, but boy did he pull it off.

Exactly, the emotion meant in the novel was transfered good, if not great to the movie.

No, no it has not been a good day. Lollerskates, I liked this a lot. You should put up a photograph of it so we can see it's actual (tiny) size!

...but only if you wanna.

It's a terrific scene. Just the emotions running through his face and the contrast with the unemotional Manhattan made it, well...perfect and desperately sad.

This scene was so emotional in the film. I was on the brink of crying. If only Dan hadn't ruined it with his "NOOOOOOO!"

His expression is perfect here

I have to say, I think that it was unnecessary tbh. The fact he dies alone in the book is, I feel, a lot more poignant.

Thank you
