Description

Hellboy (Columbia, 2004), Simeon Wilkins - "Sammael's Spawning Ground" Key Frame Storyboard Original Art. Original key frame storyboard by concept artist Simeon Wilkins, illustrating a pivotal moment from Hellboy (2004). This scene takes place within Sammael's subterranean spawning ground, as Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) illuminates a dark corridor, revealing four of Sammael's monstrous duplicates lurking in the shadows. Rendered in rich gray tones, this single-panel composition captures the eerie stillness and encroaching threat of the scene, emphasizing atmosphere and spatial depth. As a key frame, this piece represents a decisive cinematic beat within the sequence-used to establish the emotional tone, lighting, and staging that would guide subsequent shots. The image panel measures 5" x 9.7" and is mounted on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of white paper. It exhibits a slightly bent bottom right corner and minor ink loss at the top right image border. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
