Watchmen V
Bench #2137. The garish neon sign of the Rumrunner lights the street outside Moloch's apartment. The 5/5/2000 PA with the chip clip was popular, and the phallic crossbones made this irresistible... At the top, as in the original, we see the top of Rorschach's head dimly reflected. I experimented with using only flat colors (I used only about 15 colors on the color layer) and using more penwork at the line art stage, partly because I knew if I used all the gradients and painterly effects of the original cover, it would look awful when compressed to fit under the Bench's required 80K size. And partly I felt like taking it easy on this one since cover IV was so time-consuming...
