[Darth Torment]

Disrespect?? Personaly I think that is a GREAT compliment to give the creator of this bust :)

This is an amazing piece of work. Totally blown away.

Great work dude... holy crap!

[derekrodneysim]

You're SICK, you know that??!!! Did you make a pact with the Devil or something?
No mortal can pull this off. No friggin' way!

Unbelievably gifted, you are! I am gobsmacked, simply beyond words.

Please PM me if this is ever made.

[Bobby C]

man you guys are to kind! I take this stuff very serious, I will be opening a studio in 2 months.
so i can hopefully improve the pieces more, it is hard working out of the house.

[derekrodneysim]

man you guys are to kind! I take this stuff very serious, I will be opening a studio in 2 months.
so i can hopefully improve the pieces more, it is hard working out of the house.

And so you should. A gift like yours is rare and greatly admired. Many would love to own a piece of this incredible sculpt.

The best of luck with your new studio project and we wish you all the best.

What other improvements you plan to do to this? It's already perfect! How perfect-er can it get? :D

Do keep us posted for more progress and pics as well as when this piece becomes available to your fans.

God bless.

[TOM S.]

Couldn't agree more. Amazing job on the Ledger Joker, Bob! Truly amazing. Good luck with the new studio as well!

[The Batman Professor]

Breathtaking. Makes the 1/2 scale bust DC is putting out look like it was done by a pre-schooler.

[Bobby C]

Thanks very much guys, it will be even more impressive when I have the full size for OZ.

[TOM S.]

Thanks very much guys, it will be even more impressive when I have the full size for OZ.

I don't know how you could improve on it,Bob but somehow I believe it will ! Great revamp of the website, by the way! - Tom

[bxstrmn]

scary how real it looks, great job.

[JSA]

Amazing work, perfect likeness. Bravo to you Mr. C!

[lforigno]

Bob I love everything you have done thus far, but these Ledger Jokers take the cake in my opinion. I cannot get over how well done these are.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/xx-1.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/cc.jpg

Cant wait to see what you come up with next :)

[derekrodneysim]

THERE"S A NEW ONE???!!!!

[Bobby C]

[DSET]

:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[lforigno]

I was lucky enough to see the new sculpt and all I can say is WOW. Guys you think the last one was great wait until you see this one. Bob you are a machine brother lol.

[Bobby C]

still working on him , but getting the mean going.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/IMG_3434-1.jpg

[lforigno]

incredible man, you nailed it man. Hell put at hat on him and you have the police version in clay.

[TOM S.]

Have to say he's pretty intimidating looking - even at this stage of the game ! No doubt this version is destined to be another masterpiece - awesome work!!!

[wofford29]

for sure!!.finishing the new sculpt now.

Is there a list or any way I can stay in the loop on this. I really want to get a 1/3 version but need to plan accordingly.

[derekrodneysim]

Is there a list or any way I can stay in the loop on this. I really want to get a 1/3 version but need to plan accordingly.

Me too please :D

[Trilogy]

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/IMG_3434-1.jpg

You never cease to impress. Even in early stages your portraits are so easily recognisable and defined. This one being of no exception.
This will undoubtedly be another incredible project and I look forward to following this through to completion.

[bane]

Looks amazing !!! Hope to see more progress pics soon , awesome job !

[Bobby C]

just have to clean him up and add the body , this will be a life size display.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/IMG_41122-1.jpg

[El Diablo]

awesome stuff bob, love the skin textures you've done they really bring it to life :buttrock:

[Bobby C]

Thanks , this is what the 1/3rd will look like, although I can change the expression much easier

[SimmonM]

Incredible ... I thought it would be impossible to top your previous Ledger Joker. This one is just jaw droppingly awesome Bobby.

[Bobby C]

Thanks Simmon, but when you guys see the Reeve , this pales in comparison

[Trilogy]

Great head sculpt, Bobby.
I look forward to seeing it in context to the rest of the figure.

[lforigno]

I was given the opportunity to help out Bob with his magnificent 1/1 scale Joker piece. I really have not done much just lend a hand trying to make the overall look of some of the clothing more accurate. He is using the magnoli joker shirt and although it is top of the line quality the color is just not 100% correct. I very carefully dyed the shirt using a mixture of colors and the stitching stayed white so it looks like the shirt color is what it was actually meant to be. Here are a couple pics of the shirt with the vest.

Before:
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/IMG_0948.jpg

After:
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/IMG_0951.jpg

As for the vest we are going for the look he had post interrogation scene with the 2 custom buttons. One is a white flower/sun button and the other is a bronze mercury dime button. Here are a couple pictures of the actual vest used in the film with the custom buttons:

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/052.jpg
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/059.jpg

The buttons are a lot lighter in the pics because of the flash but they are a flat white and a bronze color. I was able to track down identical buttons to those used in the film, but had to change the color of them as the mercury dime button was originally silver and the flower/sun button was originally yellow, but they both turned out great.

I will post some finished pics tomorrow with the buttons finished and sewn on to the vest. I am just glad to lend a hand to what is going to turn out to be a masterpiece. But in the mean time here is a pic of what it will look like when it is done. This is the first set of clothing I did for my set of Joker clothes:
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/IMG_0745.jpg

[El Diablo]

Nice job, great attention to detail :thumbs2:

[Trilogy]

Nice work, lforigno.

[stevens]

:notworthy:

[Sniper]

WoW!!!!

[Bobby C]

I think I will have the silicon head done in 2 weeks. Lance really is helping bring this to life.

[lforigno]

thanks for the comments guys but I by no way want to take away from the main part of this piece which is the outstanding work being done on the newly sculpted Ledger Joker by Bob that truly pays respect to the late great actor.

[thx217]

Talking about a killer piece....amazing!

[lforigno]

The vest and shirt are finished...

Here are the buttons on the vest Before:

and the finished shirt and tie together:
http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg29/lforigno/IMG_0969.jpg

I am happy I could lend a hand in putting together this masterpiece. I cannot wait to seeing the finished product and just knowing what is being done to the rest of the outfit it is going to be incredible.

[Bobby C]

great work bro!!! seriously great. here is the update on Heath.

[albeeman]

Dam... Just Dam...

[lforigno]

WOW...... that sculpt is sick. That is the joker but the sculpt is so great that there is no doubt that it is heath.

[Trilogy]

Excellent work!
I for one cannot wait to see the portrait and outfit come together as one.

[Tyderium]

Another superb likeness :eek:

[thx217]

Drooling.......massively.

[Exar Kun]

:jawd:

uncredible

[Bobby C]

Ok Guys I still have lots to go but this is a good start, the hair needs to be finished, (eyebrows , hairline and lashes and nose hair) other then that this helps show how nice he is looking.

Dude, seriously, that's so brilliant it's chilling.

[Wrothy]

Wow - that is stunning.

[thx217]

Jesus Christ.......Bobby, that is just perfect!! Can't wait to see it's completed....goodness...

[Spartacus]

this is amazing friend!

I cant get over how real that looks!

Keep up the fantastic work and updates for the forum!

WOW, and WOW!

[AsOneDead]

You really nailed this one, even looks better than the first one. Nose hairs too? Damn, that's taking it to a whole new level.

[Spartacus]

i cant get over this!

WOW and WOW again!

Amazing work!

[El Diablo]

Wow! now THAT's a masterpiece! if you were aiming for the perfect representation of ledger as the joker then I think you can consider it mission accomplished :thumbs2:


Love 'shining' jack as well :)

[Trilogy]

Unfinished or not, this truly is an incredible piece of work.

[El Diablo]

Bobby, I know i've probably asked before but what clay is it you use?

[Bobby C]

I use nsp soft, Just wait to you guys see the license version from HCG it will be done in a week .
Thanks very much, the 1/3rd will be as equally as impressive It will have the exact same realism as this one but 1/3rd, no short cuts
Thanks guys

[bxstrmn]

Your attention to detail is unmatched in any other bust or sculpt I've seen. This is truly an amazing piece. I'm sure if giving this thing a heart beat would make it better you would. If you could fit motors in the head to make the eyes move back and forth, on a life size statue, I'm sure people will pass out lol.

[Bobby C]

Funny you mention that, I'm working on that now, I will post a you tube clip next week. the eyes will move and the mouth will as well (not open and close).

[bxstrmn]

You are out of control! I'm sure that will be amazing can't wait to see that

[thx217]

Funny you mention that, I'm working on that now, I will post a you tube clip next week. the eyes will move and the mouth will as well (not open and close).

:jawd::jawd::jawd::jawd:


Bobby, you are creating a new generation of "high end" collectible, you know that? We joked about how cool it will be to have the motor functions on a life size bust a while back. Now it's actually in works by you and especially it's on this jaw dropping piece. You just brought back the thrill and excitement of collection film prop/replica for many of us. Bless ya!

[Trilogy]

I use nsp soft, Just wait to you guys see the license version from HCG it will be done in a week .
Thanks very much, the 1/3rd will be as equally as impressive It will have the exact same realism as this one but 1/3rd, no short cuts

I cannot wait to see these.

[Jack's Username]

Always amazing to see your work. Unbelievable yet again.

[bane]

Impressive is not even close to describe this one !!

[DSET]

best work Ive seen
since the update on Bruce Lee

i dunno how these are getting better and better:vortex:

cant wait to see the other versions

incredible.... that is insane and I love the sonar cowl 1/3 scale teaser in the background

[Darknight]

excellent! so when is this going up for preorder?

[Jerseydevil]

Unfreakin'-real, Bobby. You've outdone yourself. And what are you using to color the hair?

[bane]

The detail is beyond amazing , and I also love the Sonar cowl pictured in the back .

[derekrodneysim]

You're a true master, Bobby!

I must have this!! Please let the production pieces be this good.

[enzo]

Breathtaking, stunning, amazing

[Exar Kun]

Amazing and jawsome!!!:buttrock:

[lforigno]

I stopped by Bob's today and WOW this thing is amazing. Im sorry pics do not do any justice of this and it is honestly scary to look at because it is so good. I do know that within the next week some more updates should be coming, but I cannot say enough nice things about this piece or the artist himself.

[Bobby C]

Thanks buddy, your welcome anytime.
well here is a few fun shots, I have to dye the Jacket for a darker purple and cast my hands, the ones in the gloves are the cheap wire ones.
Thanks

[nexus]

Those are amazing Bobby. These will be fantastic at 1:3 scale. I also like the costume mannequins of Batman and Robin costumes which would make for a cool collection a la Iron Man armory (a Batgirl would be nice too).

[Tyderium]

This is brilliant work Bobby. The posture also, is spot on.

[Trilogy]

This is folly. Anyone can clearly see these were promotional images of Heath as the Joker, taken in Bob's display room prior to his passing.

[Trilogy]

Truly jaw dropping, Bob. Bravo!

[lforigno]

that is amazing. truly great stuff man

[enzo]

That is the SINGLE MOST AMAZING piece I have ever seen...INcredible, words cannot explain how cool this is...

[Vader]

hey bobby, willl the 1/3 scale have the same pose? i think this is your best work yet. fantastic job.

[boondocksaint]

holy sh*t that looks AMAZING

[TOM S.]

As outstanding as the likeness was on its own, the addition of the mannequin totally complements the piece ! Perfect pose ...... Love the pencil by the way ( a little macabre sleight of hand never hurt anyone ....... unless.....). Your best work to date, Bob - and that is saying alot! Amazing !!

[Darth Pain]

HOly SHhhhh!!!!!
That's amazing!! A 1/3rd like that would be a dream come true!

[boondocksaint]

HOly SHhhhh!!!!!
That's amazing!! A 1/3rd like that would be a dream come true!

thats what im saying...!!!!!!

i may not get the ss iron man after all! lol

[Bobby C]

Hi Guys Thanks for the great words, although this is still in works, The 1/3rd will look exactly like this, eyes hair pose everything. the size will not dilute the quality of the work, actaully may even look more real
available options, pencil trick, bombs or interrogation version,
it may seem it takes a long time but I have been working on 3 at a time along side many other things.
they will come together fast now.
Thanks Guys

[Averone]

Truly amazing!!

I want to get a ticket and come see this in person!

The pose the face the entire thing, is spot on!!

WOW!

[boondocksaint]

great news bobby sent you a pm...

any idea about a base?

[AsOneDead]

Spot on, man. Your best work yet. :thumbs2:

No FU*KING WAY!!!! that looks ridiculously realistic! i'd say your best work to date (and that's saying something!)

Pose is perfect btw.

[bxstrmn]

this really is amazing work, if i was told these were on set pictures i would never question it. I don't even think a lifecast would be more realistic. Amazing job. I know it is probably getting tight for you with space, I have the perfect place to hold that for you in my house.:drooling:

[SpenK]

Just Incredible!!!!...... What a work of Art .... Bobby you a Master of your Craft:)

[heman]

Dam Bobby, your silicone work is insane. I have my favourite artists for different things that I like to use, but I dont think anyone can argue that when it comes to silicone work and realism, you ARE the best. I gotta commision you to do some stuff for me in the future. You just keep getting better and better. Heck everytime I saw a new David done by you, its better than the last. Just wow, and what talent.:thumbs2:

[DSET]

that is the Ultimate peice anyone can own

[boondocksaint]

that is the Ultimate peice anyone can own

im selling off stuff now and im using the money i had saved up for the iron man 1/2 statue for this..i wish there was a knife version though


and hopefully i can afford it ! :vortex:

[Philfx]

JESUS Christ!!! Thats stunning Bob!! By far the best life sized piece I've ever seen...

[Dreamland]

I just stumbled upon this thread and I dont even know what to say, that Joker looks so lifelike, best representation of anyone or anything I have ever seen in my life. Insane. !:eek:

[derekrodneysim]

I'd trade my firstborn pup for a copy of Bobby's 1:1 Joker :buttrock:
