Hellboy (an old Spring Clean Challenge)
Final word.....maybe
So I think that’s a wrap on Hellboy. There are only a couple of niches items missing such as the Drinking Skeletons Diorama and the Giant Robot Hellboy but with so much Hellboy now sitting there painted and begging to be played I’m happy to pass on those items for now.
My painting methods of leaning on glazes over zeniths remained pretty much the same throughout the years and proved flexible as I could subtly tweak layers when wanting to match previous works.
One item I added to my arsenal for this final stretch was a bottle of speed paint medium. It made turning anything on my pallet into glaze incredibly easy.
I also think my earlier pieces show a slightly higher standard. I’m guessing this is a combination of issues. 1. The project was started during COVID lock downs and was always sitting on my desk in front of me. 2. I’ve felt a sense of urgency to get this all done and have a completed project so I can say I’ve completed something. 3. After some time you realize that eyes are not important unless they are.
Off now to punch a Devil and throw boxes..toodeloo
