This has sorta been done before, but it’s something I was thinking about a long time ago –
The year is 1985 A.C. In an alternate Equestria where masked super-ponies are a reality, President Filthy Rich Neighin has been elected to a fifth term, and the United Celestian States of Equestria are on the verge of a magical holocaust with the Union of Lunar Republics. The citizens of Manehattan go about their lives in a shattered society, under the constant shadow of Mutually Assured Harmony. Two “heroes” from the former Yearlings, only one of whom has any real powers, are allowed to operate by the unicorn government. Masked vigilante Pollock, one of the few remaining active, embarks on a quest to unravel a plot that could have world-ending consequences.

Note I did say underrated.
Although I did do an actual fake back cover for the comic to put this image in context >>775945 I just posted this image separately because I drew it first.
Manga Studio is one of the industry standards; a lot of the popular fan artists use it.

under appreciated
It’s… one of the most widely acclaimed graphic novels in comics history, generally regarded as one of the greatest clasics of the form. Kids These Days maybe haven’t heard of it so much, but it is nearly 25 years old.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nope. I don’t know of any but creating panels and such seems easy enough if you can find the balance between blandness and clutter. And hell yes, Watchmen is an unjustly, under appreciated masterpiece.
Besides I’m just curious to know why it’s unpopular or if people are just downvoting for the lulz. << me attention horsing
Oh yeah. Highly appropriate. Do you find it similar to the scepter variant? Because I might redraw it slightly to orient it on a button. I could just create button vectors too. They’ll all get downvoted because of blood, lol, even tho it’s cake frosting.
I don’t really care, people by and large tend to have their own narrow interests… I just find it odd that it’s downvoted without explanation. I have a “literary” fascination with Watchmen because I like all the philosophical concepts. I should encourage people to compete to keep the vote tally at zero. :P
Do it anyway. Why care what people think if you enjoy your own works?
Which one? I can probably do a variant. I think people objected to this because of the dissonance of pairing a Fluttershy face with Cupcakes-style Watchmen gore. But dissonance was the intent. :P Anyhow if Applejack is the Comedian, and Fluttershy is Silk Spectre, no immediate harm comes to Fluttershy here. She just has a nice and yellow smiley face which the Comedian likes to wear. :P And the combination is suitably disturbing for the source material without being too dark, lol. The downvotes do kind discourage me from the dream of drawing out all the panels of Fearful Symmetry as a rewritten pony comic, with all the matching panels, tho.
