View the Mistakes and DESPAIR!!!

I am a nerd. No really. And like any nerd prone to fan fiction moments who is also a Hellboy junkie ... I got to wondering. What would a female Abe Sapien look like? Groan if you wish! I am not the only one to think it. However, I am the only one I know of who has posted the progression of this character's development.

Picture One: This is the first one I did. I wasn't paying too much attention to anatomy. Just messing around. There is more influence from the movie than I can ever really be proud of.

Picture Two: A bit better. Less movie more comic based. Why the dress? Couldn't say. I decided at this point to use the fins on her head as emotional indicators. Maybe the dress is to compensate for the manly face?

Picture Three: And then I saw the animated movies. It shows, for good or for ill. This is my favorite version. I can't decide whether to call her Juliette or Charlotte. Coloring ruined whatever subtlety this picture may have had. Sorry.

I'll have to do a better one later. And I just realized she's dressed like Lara Croft! Dammit!
