Hellboy Finale

Hellboy is now complete. I fixed up the coloring on his head and now I'm happy with it. Thanks for looking.

Hell Boy

This is an approx 1/3rd scale kit I obtained from Mark Warthling. It comes in 9 parts - the head/body, the stone arm, 2 sets of horns (long and short - I chose the short), a base and two name plates. The arm, base and one of the name plates are in translucent resin in case you want to light the kit. 
Once again it was a case of me jumping into things before taking the start image, but you'll see the clear resin along the way. 

I started with a tan primer, glued the horns in and then painted the face red. 

  
Reddened the face, and painted the hair black - 

When it came to the arm, I looked around and it was no where to be found. I contacted Mark, and for a little fee he was able to get me another. How can something that big go missing? I have no idea... Here you can see the translucent hand. Anyway, in the background you may be able to see I added a darker brown shadow to parts of the jacket.

What I did to highlight the black hair was to use a little blue in it. All shirt references showed it was black, so I mixed a little blue into that to compliment the hair. You can also see the translucent base and the arm with primer. I also painted the zipper steel, and the little emblem on the pull the new Molotow Chrome. That stuff is amazing.

Next was tackling the Dark brown leather collar and straps. You can see in the background the arm got it's coat of red - 

While I thought of it, I painted in the eyes. Hellboy had yellow sclera, with a light brown iris, and then the black pupil. With the squint the model has I just left of the iris color...

Check back for the finale.Thanks for looking.

Hellboy Finished

Hey all, I had some time today so I finished up the Hellboy ornament. 

Basically from where I left off, I added VMC Beige to the the eyes and teeth and then lightened then with some VMC White. I did leave a little line of beige around the outsides of the eye, just for giggles.  Next I painted all his hair VMC Black and then added a little Prussian Blue for highlight. The image somehow makes the blue stand out a lot more than it is on the model.   Finally I coated the piece in VMC Carmine Red, making sure to leave what is supposed to be in shadow the VMC Cavalry Red color. On top of that I put glazes of Vermilion. Out of the bottle, it was a little too orange, so whats why I made it into a glaze. 

Afterward, I thought it looks too nice to drill a hole and set en eye screw in the back of his head. So I think I'll come up with some sort of base and keep him that way. 

Thanks for looking. 

The Hellboy Ornament

Back again, with Hellboy this time. This little sculpt was offered on The Clubhouse last year as an ornament. Being different, of course I had to jump on it right away. And then it sat... 
A few months ago I primed it, and it sat some more. High time to put some paint of it.  I started with a light coat of VMC Cavalry Red, and then when dry I put a coat of brighter Vallejo Game Color (VGC) Gory Red over it. This seemed to bright, co I gave it a wash of Citadel Nuln Oil. Here's where we are at - - 

More later.
