Hey.
So I love Hellboy. And I’m still learning to use Zbrush so I thought I will work on him and update here for critiques.
Here’s the first images I’ve worked.
Yeah I’m a noob haha. But I promise it will get better 
Started from a box I imported from maya.
Any critique is wellcomed :
It’s getting there. But, at the moment, he looks a little like Willem Dafoe as Hellboy.

Things that could use some tweaking:
The eyes are too big/buggy, the nose a bit too bent, his mouth too wide, and his jaw is a bit too pointy. I would also make the head a bit wider. Hope that is helpful.

There’s still something wrong with the model and I can’t put my finger on 
:lol:
He still looks like a Willem Dafoe rendition.
Eyes are too big and not inset enough
Nose is too small
He’s improving 
But you should step down a couple of subdivs and refine the rough form to achieve some likeness, because right now the proportions are of compared to the original.
The first thing to look at is the eyes, they are way too big, and also the cheeks and forehead.
Keep going and look at reference and you will be fine :)
Thanks to both of you.
And Santis I remember I surfed on your sketchbook yesterday and I loved you models so thanks alot for dropping by and giving me critiques 
Here’s the last update for tonight.
Thanks to everyone for the constructive criticism
Hope it doesn’t look too much like Willem Dafoe anymore lol
And I don’t want my model to be 100 % as Hellboy from the movie lol. But still I want people to know he’s Hellboy when they look at him.

In many ways, it’s an improvement, but it actually looks more like Willem Dafoe than it did before. LOL
I’m sorry, but it just cracks me up thinking of Willem Dafoe as Hellboy.
I think his face is too bony, and the mouth is too wide.
Dang webhead… thats exactly what I was thinking. It has to be the eyes that are doing … not sure.
His eyes are still feeling cartoony.
Gotta get those ears and facial hair in… so your working on everything relatively at the same level.
Getting there.
It looks to me that his eyes are a bit narrow in the real world, the end of our mouths usually end in the middle of our eyes, but as in hellboys case the mouth ends at the edge of his eyes. You’ve done that, but the mouth is still too wide for his face. And Hellboy isnt as defined as Willem, Willem has this “gorilla” lower part face that I think you’ve given your Hellboy.
the mouth is too wide at the moment [mouth usually is from middle of one to the middle of the other eye] Also he need ears to balance his head - it just won’t look right without the ears. It does have a Daniel Dafoe feel - I think it’s also in the sharp nose - Helloby’s is softer and rounder and his eyes are much smaller
keep it up
Damn you Willem Dafoe 
for ruining my first sculpt of the most kick-ass 
small_orange_diamond:evil: hero ever! 
Webhead don’t worry dude. You know how they say. Who laughs lives longer. So I’m happy to extend your life 
hahahha. But really thank you very much for spending your time on a noob like me
Mrguy thank you for the advice. I gotta admit I hate ears grr. Going to work more on them. And your cyber human model… F**king EPIC haha :p.
I also saw that you wanted advice on him @ CGI. Dunno if it’s late but some parts of the blood didn’t have shadow and it made it look like it’s copy paste sorry. Just thought to give you my oppinion lol.
VictorCS What do you mean about the gorilla part? You mean about the lower part of the face. Cause I think hellboy does have it bigger than normal but I think I exagerated it too much lol 
Intervain I just googled Daniel Dafoe. Crap my model is ugly SORRY HELLBOY 
Anyway I’m going to update something I’ve worked.
<table class=“fieldset” width=“100%” border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“1”><tbody><tr><td>

Does it still resemble Willem Dafoe? DIE DIE DIE!!!
You are getting there
The one at the bottom is in my opinion the best one.
Continue with the ears and nose, and the define the form a bit more
It’s just that I see alot of “ancestor genes” in Willem’s face compared to Hellboy’s. But you’ve gotten rid of that now I see. It’s getting closer
He looks much more like Hellboy now, and much less like Willem Dafoe.
nice :lol:
Nice update. I think your last images look much, much closer to Ron Perlman’s Hellboy, instead of this guy:
I would tone back the wrinkles a bit, particularly over his cheeks. Presently, they make him look a bit too old, and his skin a bit to thin.

LOL!
I dont know who should be more insulted, Willem Dafoe or Hellboy.
Its looking much better, try zooming out a bit while sculpting and focus on the proportion of the facial features before going in for the details.
@ Webhead damn you with your photoshopping :mad: haha
I’ll never enjoy Hellboy as much anymore 
king_p Willem Dafoe deficiency!!! I accept no debates
And thanks for the suggestion.
Anyways for the past something days I put Hellboy aside and worked on this. Though I’m still working on Hellboy again and put this one aside :lol:
The face is modeled in Maya and sculpted in Zbrush.
The creature is from a very simple mesh and done in Zbrush.
For the face expression I used my mirror haha
I had no study in body anatomy when I created the creature but I didn’t care since well he’s not supposed to have all the human muscles though I kinda wish I did 
But I’m studying them now since I want to create the hellboy body too.
Hopefully I will finish them both and render them in Maya with the proper shader.
p.s the name of this one “my tongue my enemy” :lol:
Anyway thanks for the look
Here’s some Hellboy update.
Sculpted the body. It’s my first time so if there’s any major muscle misstake please tell. Or if something looks weird. I’m not really looking for perfection I’m pretty satisfied with it Didn’t work on the legs since they won’t be visible although it would have been great to have worked on them I would have learnt I didn’t have the time The abs look really weird to me probably gonna make changes later.
