"I'll Always Look This Good" - Hellboy

"I'll Always Look This Good" - Hellboy - Part 2

"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 these 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.

For Hellboy, in particular, he is a very warm miniature. I wanted to go for that really saturated red that is so iconic with this character, but that made the colour correction process a bit more challenging because I didn't want to artificially reduce the warmth of his vibrant red skin.

The other reason these pictures were a bit tricky to take is because I had a little assistant with me while I was taking them - but she was sleeping on the job!

Haha! The wee dote.

Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you next week for more, right here on The Art of Caesura!

The Full Stop - Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood

The monstrous Deepwood has consumed the land. No farms or fields remain. There is only corruption, rot and the endless shadow of the twisted trees. ~ Shadowborne Games Pot's Peace, Oathsworn.

"The Skinny" - Scale 75 Flesh Paint Set Review

The complexion of a light-skinned face divides into three zones: The forehead has a light golden colour because it's freer of muscles and surface capillaries. The ears, cheeks and nose all lie within the central zone of the face. Those areas have more capillaries carrying oxygenated blood near the surface, causing the reddish colour... The zone from the nose to the chin (where there are relatively more veins carrying blue deoxygenated blood) tends toward a bluish, greenish or greyish colour. Some artists accentuated this subtle bluish or greenish hue to bring out the reddish lip colour. Color and Light (page 156) - James Gurney Welcome all to The Art of Caesura!

"From the City of Shadows" - Arkanaut Company (Painting - Part 1)

The City of Shadows has a dubious reputation amongst the Overlords, often labelled pirates or worse by other duardin of their rival sky-ports. Barak Mhornar - Games Workshop Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Let's pick it up from last week and dive right back in to the Arkanauts. Last time we saw them they were all grey and naked. No longer!! This is going to be part one of a two-parter on the painting of these guys before we look their bases and then at the finished Company in the following weeks. I was going to try to cram it all into one post, but wow there is a lot of detail on these guys, and we're in no hurry, so best to spread it out and give it all it's due.

But over the year, my tastes have...matured and I came to really
