"The first memories I have of the Bureau are terrifying.
"I still have nightmares."
-Abe Sapien in Hollow Earth

" . . . Abraham Sapien dreams of fish."
-The Chained Coffin

This is one of those pieces that I could spend forever tweaking. But I don't really have a lot of "forever" on my hands right now. Anyway, I'm hoping I might have time to fix up some minor details in the future? Who knows.

I watched Dominic Hailstone's The Eel vid numerous times during the process ([link]) -- But not until after I'd already gotten the composition and main colors down unfortunately, heh. (And I don't usually watch it all the way to the end because it starts to scare me!!)

Anyway, that video seems very appropriate to Abe's horrible dreams.

Some details of the piece: [link]

Corel Painter. Abraham Sapien is Mike Mignola's glorious creation.
