Hellboy
Some final results—many to go
I don’t really feel qualified to give blow by blow commentary on techniques plus I’m not sure anyone is reading this. Nonetheless, if you do happen across this and have any questions please feel free to ask. I’ll be happy to spell out what I did along the way, including paint colors, to the best of my ability.
The ghost of Johann, for example, was translucent. I didn’t want to lose that so rather than priming him fully, I just dry brushed him with primer, then a medium blue, a light blue, and finally a white. I cut him off the resin base he was on and stuck him on clear to get a more spectral effect.
As for the other bases, I think I’ll leave them black and not do any textured effects as they sort of look like a pool of shadow cast by the character.
People are reading, lovely work so far!
Thanks Robert!
yep … we read and we see.
I might start painting my copy too.
