"Red means stop!" - Hellboy (2004) Hello one and all, and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! Today, we are picking up right where we left off last week with HELLBOY! This is such a fun model, and it really captures Hellboy's look in the comics. I'm happy with how this model turned out, but I will say that t hese pictures were quite difficult to take for two reasons... ...the first reason, is that the primary light source that I use when I'm taking these types of photos is quite a warm light. I use colour-correction on my phone's camera but the photos still come out quite warm at times. I then sometimes use Windows' built-in photo app to further reduce the warmth of the photos.

Hellboy (2004) film Well well well, this came out of nowhere! Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I've been working on a big hobby project for the past couple of months (one of my big hobby goals from last year) which will eventually turn up as a series of posts on the blog. I'm taking a little break from it at the moment, and I was looking for something quick and fun to paint. (Re-)enter Hellboy: The Boardgame. This was a Kickstarter that I backed a few years ago. I actually painted a bunch of stuff from it at the time before moving on to other things. Returning to these models is really rekindling my excitement for this game! After I've painted a few more of the models I definitely plan to get a few more sessions of the game in with my wife. I decided to paint Hellboy himself! My goal for this paint job was just to have fun,
