some of you may recognize this, most wont, but this is a costume i am working on. He is a character from the comic watchmen called Rorschach.

The world will look up and shout save us.. and ill whisper... no.

confusing

well i already had my wonders of what this thread would be about :P

as a fellow WM fan, i must say you're doing a better job than me (i'm so lazy i haven't even started working on my costume for the premier :D )

now i must ask - what material are u using for your mask?

Black absorbs light while white relfects it.

THe song off the first preview sounded really cool.  And after reading a bit I have deemed that this sounds like a pretty cool movie.

so it would appear, but how does the back side of it look?


And, who better to go as than Rors? although i was considering his real identity, but i'd have to bother dying my hair red.

the back, for now is just tied like a bandanna(which you, being the costume expert you are, would drive you crazy)

as far as i know this is the best way to go, i can see, its cheap, takes 5 minutes.

going as original rors would be cool, go in a prison uniform

nicely done. now it's time for me to get off my butt and do some working on my costume.

October 26, 2008 5:31 pm #

Yah, I've decided to do a Rorschach costume as well.  I have everything and now I need to get the mask together.  I'm not a fan of the hat but it was the best I could find.

October 26, 2008 6:32 pm #

well except for the scarf, you've pretty much got it down, head to toe. now, if we were to get onto the topic of how close it resembles the real deal, then you would have to re-work just about the whole thing, but that's not important, as thousands of Rorschach fans will basically do what you have done. good work.

October 26, 2008 6:43 pm #

i plan on scuffing up the coat and maybe adding the blood stain from the dog slaughter. :D

and if i can i will find some purple pants, and change the hat ring to a red.

I believe just about any Joker costume will do for that. But I hear there's some Chinese company that is making a really detailed costume, and their pants are better than your local stuff.

October 29, 2008 8:25 pm #

cool, i will keep an eye out for that.

I went as Rorschach as well.  I think it turned out great.  How did you end up doing your mask?  I had to use two layers of tights.  I will post pics later.  I went a a party afterwards and the anonymity is great.  I tried to get into the background of as many pictures as I could.

Nice. Did anyone know who Rorschach was?

Didn't do much. Just sat around. Maybe next year, if I have my Mando Armor done....

I had 4 people know.  It was great.  Those four comments made my day showing that my work actually was for something.  Someone called me a cow.  :P

I was a rioter from the Keene Riots.

nice weathering on the cloak.  And the button is awesome.  What did you do to weather the coat?  Do you have some gloves?

For a tutorial on how to distress props and clothing, go here. http://toddscostumes.com/indy/leather%20gear/how_to_distress_gloves.htm

This guy does it to some leather Indy gloves, but you can use the process and products on anything really. His site also has some amazing props and clothing.
