Geek Crafts: Make Your Own Moving Rorschach Mask From ‘Watchmen’ Posted: 01 Jan 2011 11:44 AM PST If you've read the classic Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel, Watchmen, or seen director Zack Snyder's fantastic cinematic adaptation, then you're familiar with the enigma himself, Rorschach. Rorschach is a hero in most definitions of the word, out to rid the world of all the evil that taints it, though his methods are quite extreme and sometimes questioned. He stands out due to his iconic mask, a simple white with a blot of ink inspired by the psychiatric test of the same name that changes and moves depending on the hero's mood.

Be sure to head on over to the other side to see a brief video that shows you how you too can make your very own Rorschach mask from Watchmen. [...]
