Any Watchmen fans?

I've been searching for a costume for Daz Studio to create a Silk Spectre character (aka Laurie Blake). The only thing I found was a V4 Poser texture for the V4 Bodysuit made by Mylochka (notorious for Star Trek characters and hair) but they only had it as a freebie download on ShareCG which has been shut down with no Wayback Machine archive. This being the case, I've decided to try and create one myself for a Genesis 8 character using various clothing items I feel might be helpful to pull it off. I'll try and attatch test renders to this thread as I find time to make them but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Doesn't appear to be any fans of Watchmen judging by the lack of replies to my initial post. But I'm still going to post a WIP of what I've come up with so far albeit not an accurate depiction of Silk Spectre's costume I think I was able to create something I can call "close enough to be happy with for now".

I can't say I've heard of that series before now, but I'm really not much of a superhero's comic reader. I preferred the underground comics.

The series is decent but the movie is much better IMHO. They made a live action movie and a remake of it in animated cartoon form. I've done a bit of research and there seems to be some differing opinions on this character's name as many attribute it to be Silk Spectre II and her mother called Silk Spectre. I'm inclined to believe her mother was called Miss Jupiter which then eliminates the need for the "II" appendage to her moniker. In either case, her citizen identity is Laurie Blake who at some point was the love interest of Dr. Manhattan the blue skinned nuclear powered entity that divorced his wife sometime after the atomic reactor accident that gave him his power which allowed him to alter history and make the alternate world in which the story takes place whereas Germany was defeated and became the 51st state.
 
I thought the series was actually pretty good, a lot better than people expected (epsecially after the controversial last series of GoT, also by D&D). It follows on quite well from both th emovie and also the original Comic Book series without alienating or contradicting both.

I enjoyed the series tremendously (never read any of the comics). The only negative thing I have regarding the series is it depicts Dr. Manhattan as having not only left his first wife to have a relationship with Laurie Blake but then in turn leaves Laurie Blake for Angela Abar. What I gleem from that is the notion that the most powerful being in the universe can't stay in a committment.

Perhaps he just got too big and too powerful for the relationships?
