Sculpture looks great. Although the neck seems really large, and different per side profile.

Stunning work! I can't wait to see this all painted up aswell

Its definately to very nice sculpt but the thing that stands out for me is the hair... Heaths hair was fine a wispy...and as the Joker it was very unkempt and greasy looking. Your sculpt depicts it as thick, course and kinda tidy looking. I agree about the comments about the neck aswell but you'd see a BIG improvement if the hair got thined out and lots of lovely intricate work carried out there

One thing I forgot to say was that the skin texture is really good!

thanks guys.

the neck measures 15inch in diameter, is the same as my collar size. i think what might be aking look thick is the nead is slightly to the left so i sculpted the right neck muscle/tendon proud. Ill have another look at it to see if its the pics or the sculpt.

Phil, the hair has been the biggest pain for me, i hate sculpted hair but its what the client wanted. i made it neater as they are going to be offering copies so i was thinking about the mould and undecuts ect. i am going to sculpt some finer wispy bits of hair onto a casting in sculpy which then can be moulded separatly and glued on.

the sculpt kind of looks like Mark Walberg

Nice likeness, i agree the hair needs more work, but you've got to do what the client wants at the end of the day
Well done

If the neck is 15" then thats correct but it must mean the heads a bit small in proportion to the neck... be easier to reduce the diameter of the neck by an inch... or make it look narrower from certain angles

Hair can be a problem I know but if your client wants it more simplfied so be it and its not your problem really... its just a pity it couldn't be done more authentically, thats all.
