Coolest Homemade Rorschach from The Watchmen Costume

This is my Homemade Rorschach from The Watchmen Costume. The clothes were cheap. I bought the hat, scarf and trench coat from the Thrift Store. The hat was a light tan so I painted it black with acrylic paint. For the face I wanted to have breathable material, so I used cheesecloth. Cheesecloth is very inexpensive. It’s like gauze.

I measured on the face where to make eye holes, nose and mouth. Then I painted with non-toxic acrylic paint, I mimicked the face after one of the scenes where Rorschach is about to use this “gun-like” thingy to shoot up to the top of a building. I observed that when Rorschach is mad or aggressive his mask is more intense. That is the look I wanted. Everything had to be dark.

Once the face dried I went in and made more defined holes. Then wrapped the cloth around the back and safety pinned and hair pinned it together. The scarf was wrapped a particular way. He has a regal look to him. Underneath was a “Watchmen” T-shirt, not necessary, just thought it would be nice to have him wear it. He wore black pants and black shoes. Giving the entire look a “dark” look.
