Artist's Comments

Looks like there's nothing good on TV. You'd think being both super-intelligent and super-rich, Veidt would remember to pay his cable bill...

Veidt: "I paid it thirty-five minutes ago."
Oh, okay then!

This sketch is pretty dull. But I thought his expression turned out very Veidt-ish (sad+condescending), and the coloring and backdrop made it more interesting.

Watchmen © DC Comics. "Eventually I came to an ash-colored shore, a dismal black ocean stretching endless before me. How had I reached this appalling position, with love, only love, as my guide?"

It's Ozymandias from Watchmen, a graphic novel and soon-to-be movie.

Love the hue shifting here. I really wish they got Tom Cruise to play him as originally planned.
It would have been Tom Cruise as... HIMSELF!

For a sketch, the lighting is inspired and dramatic. It came out great.

I don't like how evil he looks in the movie. I think he shouldn't have such a dark, brooding costume.
But, I have hopes that the movie turns out great.

"I paid it thirty-five minutes ago." Haha! :rofl:

I agree with you, the expression is very Veidt-esque. Good job.

"I am Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair."

You've seen the previews for the film right? Ozy looks like a wimp. He's supposed to be a super gymnast!

I know you think it's dull, but I think it covers his character pretty well. Isolated physically and mentally. The tv glare behind him, the shadows on him, it looks good.
