DesJardin and costume designer Michael Wilkinson finally settled on a stretchy, four-way latex material, which-in addition to having the fibrous look Snyder wanted-helped create Rorschach's smooth eggshell silhouette. Getting the right look and saturation was a long process of experimentation with different types of fabric and ink. Snyder also wanted to have shades of gray in his blots rather than the stark, hard-edged black spots found in the graphic novel. "We wanted to keep the essence of that movement, but Zack thought it would be interesting and more detailed for the film if we could keep it as a cloth medium, and the stain moved through the cloth." "In the graphic novel the explanation is that there are two plastic membranes with fluid between them, and the fluid moves like a lava lamp," DesJardin says. Although Manhattan's artistic creation was by the book-DesJardin estimates he used the graphic novel as a reference at least "a million times"-Snyder had something different in mind for Rorschach. So director Zack Snyder and visual-effects supervisor John "DJ" DesJardin made sure to nail the look of the last masked vigilante standing.
