Is this going to be a one of a kind? Or will you be making copies?

the client is a kit manufacturer so he will be offering these himself.

 

[fettster]

got the ears on.

makes a massive difference

Wow... I'd LOVE to have a nice kit to work on. All the ones offered here so far have been very expensive, so I hope maybe these will be priced good. I'll be following this thread.

Beautiful work!

That could work well as the burial scene parade Joker. Very nice. :thumbsup

your scars look to be a little bit heavier then the film
scars

floating around out there are some decent shots of heath
in scars but without whiteface makeup yet

those are the best reference for guys working on likeness
and halloween makeups

the makeup really hides a lot of the true details and depth of the scars

 

[fettster]

i quite agree.

the area around his cheek needs to be bulked out and blended into the scars. he looks a bit action man at the moment.

What im contentration on currently is the overall geometry of his features, ie distance between the eyes, lengh of nose etc.

once im happy with all that, im gonig to tweek the facial expression to put a bit of joker in there

 

[punisher]

Holy ****, amazing, not just the face but those ears! very evenly sculpted. Can you guys help me pck my jaw up from the ground?haha

 

[fettster]

still been working on this.

i have found an expresson that i like and have just started to add the texture

For me it seems like the neck is to wide, as well is his head. But maybe im mistaken. Looks great though

 

[MR BARLOW]

Nice !! :love
