There we are. Your temper, it makes you sloppy. Try to control it, Agent Hellboy. Before it controls you. Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Over the last two weeks we looked at Big Red himself, this time we're turning our sights to his ectoplasmic companion, Johann Kraus. Johann is a ghost stuck in a containment-suit body. From the beginning of this paint job, I was trying to decide how I would paint his spectral head. But while I was mulling that over, I cracked on with the rest of the model.

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 vibran
