"Hit ME!" Joker 2.0 a W.I.P. Updated 3-17 Ridiculously pic heavy!!!!!

CREG Customs · #1 (**permalink**) 02-25-2010, 09:37

Hello All,

I get a lot of questions about my Jokers so I thought I would share one I am doing for a client in China.

Enjoy and feel free to ask questions!

Hair is Tibetan Lamb fur from Morezmore Warning: Doll boobies on this site. May not be SFW.

They sell the fur on ebay and are great folks to deal with.

Here are some shots of the head in the beginning stages.

Hair update!

Color...

And style

Make-up

Face...

Lips...

Eyes...

"And here, we, go!"

With my DX "real hair" head...

And on the body!!!!

Looks like a nice start.
Thanks for the Morezmore link as well, might want to put NSFW next to it though, just in case.

CC - you are an asset to this hobby!

Thanks for sharing your technique. The hair looks amazing!

How many hours does it take to glue the hair like you do ?

naicon · #7 (**permalink**) 02-25-2010, 11:11

Looking good so far.

How come you don't dye the hair first?

gaiagear · #8 (**permalink**) 02-25-2010, 11:41

Looking good so far. Looking forward to see how this turns out.

The first one about 6 hours... now about 2.5 to 3 if I'm not watching TV

Thanks!

2 reasons... It allows for sloppy roots which add a bit of character to him and 2nd I have yet to find a good treatment to dying this Fur green. Tried wool dye and kool aid with little success.

Base wip is up. Plain wooden base from Hobby lobby. Coat of textured flec (?) stone spray paint. Black lacquer on top of that.

Street lines and bullets to follow.

Cheers for the WIP shots I've always wanted to know how its done.
Looks sweet!

Annika · #12 (**permalink**) 02-26-2010, 06:51

Looks awesome! I'm hoping to scalp a HT Jack Sparrow and give him mohair instead, so it's really inspiring to see the technique work so well.

CREG Customs · #13 (**permalink**) 03-02-2010, 15:39

Hair update - next is color and style!

jinroh75 · #14 (**permalink**) 03-02-2010, 15:45

oh dang that is awesome! did you use superglue to glue it down? can't wait to see the hair dyed. this is going to be awesome!

Mookeylama · #15 (**permalink**) 03-02-2010, 17:45

VERY nice work! and thank you much for sharing your techniques. many folks won't, like they might loose a future sale or something. so thank you for that!

dannyray1 · #16 (**permalink**) 03-02-2010, 18:01

Wow. I love the Joker and you have really brought out his essence with that. Very nice.

Root job? What do you use to style it btw?

CREG Customs · #22 (**permalink**) 03-05-2010, 09:23

Updated

^ Color the roots a little to blend the real hair with the sculpted. I use a water based poly that I brush on. It's permanent hair gel

BrotherMatthew · #23 (**permalink**) 03-05-2010, 23:06

This is awesome, I can't wait to see the finished figure. The skill and time going into this is awesome.

Thanks for the info.

CREG Customs · #25 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 09:27

The head is finished

The client loves it before the make-up so I am pleased.

Enjoy

CREG Customs · #26 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 09:37

Even more pics!!!

sunohc · #27 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 18:32

very cool and i love the inprogress pics, thanks!

BrotherMatthew · #28 (**permalink**) 03-09-2010, 19:36

When the pictures are these good I don't care how picture heavy a thread it. I've loved watching the progress, even though your skill makes me a bit envious. This is some amazing work though, really awesome. With so many good Ledger/Joker HS around this is one of the best I've seen yet, really cool.

CREG Customs · #29 (**permalink**) 03-10-2010, 12:56

Thanks guys...

Here is a teaser of my next to last (I think) real-hair Joker.

I'm doing the Empire cover/Jail version.

I won't post a gazillion pics of this one though.

AWESOME!

I've really been wanting to try the lamb treatment myself, just been kinda nervous about it. I've sculpted hair and used all types of fur and faux fur for other figures, but this one seems pretty challenging to get the curly look & the color right. Yours look excellent!

I'm really enjoying all the pics, I say keep 'em coming!
