Sep 15 2008Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan In LEGO Form
You know that Watchmen movie that's coming out? The one based on Alan Moore's graphic (but not that kind of graphic) novel? Yeah, well somebody went and LEGOfied the character poster of Dr. Manhattan. Pretty impressive work. Hit the jump for a comparison shot, showing the incredibly similarity to both the poster AND original artwork. Good looking, Flickr user artpoly. If I've said it once I've said it at least ten times: there's only one thing sexier than a man's glowing blue ass -- a plastic one. So hot right now.
Hit the jump to see a shot of the doctor from the front along with the comparison I pasted together.

I hate the term, "graphic novel." It's such a pathetic, transparent attempt to legitimise a f***ing comic. A "graphic novelist" is just a nerded-up goober who isn't full of enough shit to be an artist, is too full of shit to be a real author, and takes himself and his doodles WAY too seriously.
Now, before anybody accuses me of similar faults, know that I already don't think too much of myself. In fact, the only thing that's worth less than the shit I'm full of is what's holding it in.

The 1st person who says fake loses a nut. Or if its a girl I will punch you in the ovary. Oh yeah and doesn't this look like a scene from Never Back Down?

Uncle Eccoli takes himself WAY too seriously...
on another note this is really creative and the artist did a great job!

@6 - I completely agree. Those comments are useless and not even funny.
12. theotheraaron - September 15, 2008 4:06 PM

13. Uncle Eccoli - September 15, 2008 4:11 PM
@10 LOL Good job. I was getting tired of waiting.

Unimpressive. He didn't even bother to make the background out of LEGO.
15. Bobeyo - September 15, 2008 4:23 PM
Correction: I was looking at the wrong pic, sorry. I guess it's okay then. :P
16. Popadopolis - September 15, 2008 4:35 PM
Damnit!! You were supposed to take the right one! The left one is the good one (it only producess boy-sperm). Now I'm doomed to have girl babies for the rest of my life. Oh, if only I hadn't called "fake".
...I just said it again, feel free to remove my righticle.

No no pop... May your first daughter smite thee with completely unprovoked teenage angst, moodyness, and general all around bitchyness. Oh and watchout for bears. (You know why.) And may your second daughter be a maaaasculine daughter... Speaking of one nut. I hear Lance Armstrong is gonna race again?!

obviously photoshopped, the shadows are all wrong
19. bigtunes - September 15, 2008 6:47 PM
do you think Dr. Manhatten has got blue balls?
20. delic8 - September 15, 2008 7:16 PM
@5: Tone down the hostility a bit. Some people (myself included) use the term "graphic novel" to refer to the format--these days, Watchmen is a one-volume affair, so I'd call it a graphic novel. If I'm talking about, say, Fables, which is released as a serial, I'd call it a comic. It doesn't pay to be a bitch, Ecco.
@19: You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to make that joke. No idea.

It might interest you to know that Watchmen is one of time magazine's 100 greatest NOVELS of all time (yeah, that's novels not comic books). So basically your comment was incredibly ignorant.

But Who Watches The Watchmen?

23. causeIMhere - September 16, 2008 1:14 AM
to number 21 it really does not matter if it comic or novel its to a cartoon drawing and "graphic" is a term to just sell more of those books i mean think about it a majority of people think sex when they hear the word graphic so if they do not see it in the first few pages it must be in there right WRONG so its alll marketing so there
24. YAY! - September 16, 2008 6:24 AM
Holy shit you are slow geekologie.
25. Thumperchica - September 16, 2008 11:49 AM
The lego shape makes his ass look fat.
BTW- this seems like a graphically novel idea...
26. Ocelot - March 9, 2009 1:32 PM
I love legos! Great job! And Watchmen was awesome, and an even better graphic novel, so step off!
