Description
I originally colored this as a day scene, but after a suggestion from , I changed it to a night scene, which I'm happier with. The mood is more appropriate for Hellboy methinks. The only downside is that I wanted him to be the rich red that he's known for, but it wouldn't work in this lighting.
Let me know what'cha think!

Night scene is amazing, I love it ^_^ I really like the red in it too, and I think he actually looks cooler in that shade than in the traditional red... Good job!

Very cool! Great job on the leather and stone textures. The gun looks a little flat to me, though, and he needs to cast a shadow (unless he's supposed to look like he's floating). Overall, looks pretty sweet!

Yeah, I coulda gone more realistic with the gun but I wanted to blend the simplified Mignola style with my own, so I kept his design of the gun and just shaded it. The lack of a cast shadow is a result of this image not being planned out. I normally have everything how I want it before I begin shading it, but this was supposed to be a quickie. Once I had more time with it I kept changing stuff, like adding the statue, background, etc. I never even noticed that he didn't have a cast shadow. 
I'm glad you like it though.

*laughs* If that's a quickie, I'm even more amazed. Again, very nice, and I do love your work. ^_^
