Joker (Heath Ledger)
Making some progress on this life size bust.
This time I decided to put his eyes in right away, usually I wait until I'm finished. I think I may do it this way from now on.

Just need to mask them for painting, he looks all possessed too, haha.
And yes, I painted all his skin, even though 90% of it will be covered by makeup. Even doing some discoloring by his wounds, in case some of that will show through. Blocking in the hair, but I'm going to try something with that as well. Bought me a bag of human hair (NO, not in a back alley!) and some green dye. We'll see if I can augment the sculpted hair with some real stuff, without it looking like a cat walked by it while the paint was wet.
And to the astute, I'm adding one other thing as well. You may be able to pick up on it with one of these pics. Si? Can you guess?




Lemme guess ... TEETH!
I love the way the hair is coming along. I'll be following this project with great interest ...

Shhhhh! You're gonna ruin Christmas! =) Ok, well I did ask you to guess, haha.
Yeah man, found the perfect set of dentures, and they're even a little yellow. I'm starting to feel a little like Ed Gein though, with the hair, teeth, eyes....
