The motif is Rorschach of the Watchmen.
I've toned down the colors and made them sephia-like to add that "old" retro feeling to it. The "grittyness" wasn't intentional... but the more I looked at it the more I found it suitable and fitting.
I'm a sucker for silhouettes and shadows so hence the darkness of the pic...
It doesn't show, but in the hand he's holding the Watchmen smiley complete with stain and all... Pity it didn't come through...
The phrase "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes" is latin for "Who Watches The Watchmen" and it's a reoccuring phrase from the graphic novel Watchmen.
Nice work.I like it like it is,but would also like to see what it looked like if the light from the window was burned to make it dimmer and accent the subject which is the focus of the photo.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
