To celebrate our “20 Years of Hellboy” art contest, which gives every fan with some ambition and a modicum of artistic talent a chance to have their work published in an upcoming Mignolaverse issue, as well as take home some sweet prizes, we decided to bring in some ringers, to show us how they interpret everyone’s favorite kind-hearted devil spawn. We will be posting pieces each day for this entire month, so enjoy our 31 Days of Hellboy!
Iain McCaig has been an illustrator and concept designer for over 30 years now. He is, perhaps, best known for designing multiple characters for the Star Wars prequels, most notably Darth Maul – say what you want about those films, Maul is a brilliantly designed character. He has done design work for dozens of other films, as well as illustrated books, collectible cards (including Magic: The Gathering), and even directing his own short film, The Face, in 1998. Check out his (under construction) website, his IMDB page, his page at the Gnomon Workshop, his blog, and check out his book, “Shadowline: The Art of Iain McCaig.”
