Long story short, after letting a well known sculptor sit on my money for a year, giving me multiple excuses and not supplying the goods, I got my money back and am now having a go myself at creating a Heath Ledger Joker bust.
Sculpting in Chavant NSP soft, this is my first ever sculpt and I am still learning, so please be gentle! I have never done this before
This is very, very early and I intent to take my time with it, at this stage I thought I would show it - this is literally just my base to work from now and I have taken a month or so to get to this (though not a non-stop month!) tinkering with it a couple of evenings a week and reviewing it as and when I can.
It isn't much to look at right now, but I am happy with the basic shape as I needed a structure to work from and look forward to any advice on the general look. It is kind of tricky to get the eyes right, especially as Heath has a wilder look in them when he was made up. I have redone the eyes about 12 times now lol and would not be surprised if I do them again!
I looked at the face cast style sculpts that are about and they just did not seem to look like Heath very much and some sculpts in the wild seemed to rely too much on the makeup giving the look as opposed to the face underneath. I am determined to get the look of the eyes right, have measured against photos, so they should be pretty close, now just to work on getting them more lifelike.
The ultimate aim is to mold and create a silicone head with glass eyes, punched hair etc.
A slow burner but hope to create a masterpiece!
