Rorschach’s New York ID

I am a big fan of the movie Watchmen and have made several paper props from the film. I came across an image of an old 80′s New York drivers license and decided to make an ID for Rorschach, this doesn’t appear in the movie.

I used a picture of Rorschach and a picture of Jackie Earl Haley, the actor who played Rorschach, and used PSP to create an ID picture by merging the two together, removing the black eye from the movie image. I Googled an image of the shape of New York state and used it as a template for the ID card front. I create several layers in PSP with each detail on it.  I then created what I thought would make a suitable back of the card.

So far I haven’t put together a finished ID card from these files, but to do so I would print the front and back. These are glued to some thin card to give the correct weight and feel of an ID, the ID then gets laminated and then the thing will get grubbed up and weathered to look as if Rorschach had it in his pocket,  the edges then get rounded with a tool from a scrap booking store for that purpose .
