Hey all. I'm closing in on the final fittings and touch ups of my TDK Joker. I got it all put together last night and took some pics. Thought I'd share with the group and maybe get some opinions/feedback.

Still need to-

-Keep working on better applying makeup
-Weather the coats a bit more
-Modify shoes
-Add pocket chain
-Keep growing hair :lol, get green looking better
-New buttons for vest and coat
-Buckle detail on gloves


I tried to take pics under/near different lighting in our house. The green hair doesn't look green from about 5 feet away. And the coat doesn't look purple! Dark colors unless you are close up. I hope all the subtle colors are noticeable as the Joker to people on Halloween!

Here's some of the coat detail shown. I cut the vents deeper into the coat and re-sewed the lining. Cuffs were flared. Started to weather coat a bit. Oh! And new gloves! I got these from Target and hand stitched(shabbily) the detail on the top of the hands(3 lines). Purple leather, Target, 17 bucks.:)

Shoes. Aren't the most accurate. But, I'm doing a little modifying. First and foremost, I sanded them down, and am kind of wet sanding new color back in with shades of brown paint. I have a ways to go, but they look kinda cool.

Makeup & scar application :lol

I tried to add some color/depth to the scars before I put all the makeup over top of it first, still trying to make these things pop off the face a little more-

Yep, that's collodion. It's pretty easy to work with.
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

I just got some in the mail today, and it is awesome. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the final product.
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

If you want to make the scars more defined aply more collidon.. I am going to be using some small apliances to make the scars look slightly raised in some areas. More so around the edges
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

Those look really good. Do you think the collodion will hold up to a night of partying without peeling too bad?
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

its possible. It all depends on the elements. Talking, eating, sweating, I woudl just carry some extra collodion on me.

I'm going to carry a bottle with me. I can tell after extended talking, etc..you'll want it there when you need it for touchups.
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

So do you just brush it on and it's has this effect or do you have to position your skin a certain way while it dries?
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

Your first guess is correct. You just brush in on. The liquid dries drawing the surrounding skin towards the middle of the brush stroke. Its realy cool stuff. Not to mention the more you put on the deeper it gets. Im sure there is a failing point though. 5 pf 6 aplications for me gets awesome results :love

Also, you can make the edges less obvious by brushing very small amounts of finger nail polish remover (acetone kind) onto it... The acetone thins it out.
I don't like the brushes that comes with the bottle of colodian, I'd say to get a finer brush for a thin line...

Thanks for the tip AlpineDM. I'll try that. I am starting to hate that little brush that came with the Colodion.

Thanks for the comments all. :)

Hey guys. Check out my first post. I added a bunch of new pics. :)
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

Does anyone have a lead on a decent tie? Maybe not so much the Turnbull and Asser ones? Something a little less expensive?

Thanks!

Indy's got one coming out. It's going to be incredible. He made the weave perfect; identical to the Turnbull and Asser, but the colors will be more reminiscent of what's seen on screen.
 
Re: TDK Joker progress- Halloween deadline- pic heavy

Nice. Thanks for the quick reply fellas. Any word on tenative cost on the Indy tie?
