Walter x Laurie - Archie Style

Description

This is for my roommate, :icondragonefleye:, who requested a picture of Watchmen as Archie characters.

It all started when she came in and threw down a comic store newsletter with the cover of Archie #601 on it ([link]). She thought Archie and Veronica looked like Walter and Laurie, which was pretty funny because I had been thinking the same thing. She asked me to draw the Archie cover but with Watchmen characters: Walter as Archie, Laurie as Veronica, Dr. Manhattan as the priest, Dan as Jughead, and Adrian (!?!?!?) as Betty.

I almost gave up drawing this when I saw :iconbanshuwa:'s picture of Archie as Rorschach ([link]) but he convinced me to do it anyway... So here it is!

I had a fun time drawing this -- mostly because it was easy since it was just a comic style. I also tweaked the characters a bit so they looked more like themselves and not just the Archie characters. I also used the computer (darn mouse) to color it so I could get a more comic book coloring. Man, I'm really rambling here.

Inked image colored in Photoshop.
