No, it's not Hellboy. It's the guy to the right of the Hellboy comic. His name is Mike Mignola, he's the creator, writer and artist of Hellboy...and he's just started working with Guillermo Del Toro on the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit.
According to MTV news, Del Toro has announced that he is working with Mignola on early visualization designs for the film.
"We are sketching and designing with Weta's John Howe, and [Adam Lee]," del Toro offered. "Mike Mignola is coming soon. He's going to do a stint on the design team."
This is good news for fans of Mignola, who worked with del Toro on both "Hellboy" films as well as providing some art for "Pan's Labyrinth."
"In about two, three months we're going to full-on have more designers come on ... from outside Weta. But we are already about a good third of the road [along] with some of the creatures — some really interesting and strong designs."
I personally see this as good news. Del Toro and Mignola work really well together, and if their prior works together like the Hellboy films and Pan's Labyrinth are any indication we're going to be in for an amazing visual treat when we go to see The Hobbit.
I am definitely counting down the days until this film comes out.
