Ok guys so I love Duncans art on Hellboy, he is really great, but I have noticed something about the way he draws hellboys right hand of doom and I was wondering if others have been noticing it too.
So I went and looked over all the Duncan hellboy issues and found the places where he draws the hand in the new way.
Here is my list of Duncans Right hand of doom drawings that i am referring to:
On the second to last art page of Darkness Calls number 4, hellboy is handed a tissue and a comb by the little girl, you can see how the thumb looks like it kind of swivels on the big circular knuckle joint … and how all the fingers look very flat
Darkness calls #5 art page 5 you can see kind of a scoop like shape that the fingers and palm make, almost like they could shovel things
Darkness calls #6 art page 2 you can see more of the scoop effect, and on page 11 you can see the thumb swivel effect again.
Wild Hunt #2 page 3, more scoop shape, and on page 5 we can finally see the right hand of doom being drawn really big
Wild Hunt #3 page 5 this is the big one … the right hand of doom is now humongous! In the lower two panels you can see hellboy resting his left hand on top of his right hand … and his left hand is just totally dwarfed in size by the right hand! Also in the top panel his hand looks very big and that picture gets repeated later on in the comic and then again on the first pages of issue #4
Issue #4 page 10 its really big again and also on the third to last page where he is holding alice his right hand is almost the size of her entire body
Over all I love Duncans art and I don’t mind a big right hand of doom … though I would prefer a smaller one personally … I think he is doing an excellent job and I look forward to his issues when they come out. I was just wondering if other people have been noticing hellboys hand like I have.
