"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.

Abe is by far my favorite Hellboy character. Cheers to this fabulous piece!

Ah you’re awake! I was afraid you were dead. That would have been rather awful, you know, being tied to a dead man.
This pic is stunning! Abe is my favorite comic book character ever, and one of my favorite fictional characters of all time in general :D He's so tragic and wonderful, and this picture of him sends a shiver down my spine.

No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
Wow. I should read these comics, really. I have this thing where I watch the movies but never the comic books. I should change that.

Anyway, this is stunning. Great job. :)

"Know you, though, that despite my raiment... I am more than a mere mimicry of Thor. Know 'twas Beta Ray Bill that bested you."
- Beta Ray Bill, Thor Annual #18
This is the part where I say wow and pass out isn't it? Haven't seen such a thoughtful Abe piece for a while, but then having only seen the animations and film I haven't delved into that Sapien soul yet. This piece tempts me to even more.
