Is there any chance of John doing another run?

Zero.

I feel this gets thrown around way too much in this hobby, but this time I have to say it: that first shot could pass for a movie still/real shot of Ledger in make-up!
Absolutely amazing.

Pretty much how I've felt since his earlier photos. The sculpt gives a really nice sense of realism and likeness to Heath that I don't get from other custom sculpts.

All of his photos so far of the sculpt painted has felt like you're looking at a behind the scenes costume test session. Glad I jumped on the run last minute.

That really is a fantastic Ledger Joker. The entire figure. Congrats to those who got one! Exceptional piece.

 

[Captain Clown]

Zero.

That really sucks. I’m not feeling John’s other sculpts. This one is perfection.

how much would that sculpt + paint cost?

I like the eyes here but not the mouth, I think the slightly closed eyes were a great choice and a breath of fresh air on this. Because of the open mouth, some angles make the sculpt look really weird to me. The noticeable top eyelids are spot on Heath.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's quite an exceptional sculpt -- aided by amazing paint and lighting.

 

[Nick D]

Dio - see if John can get us different angles of it, I think it looks best from an angle like this kind of head on, slightly off to where the mouth isn’t too distracting. I say bring on more sculpts with eyelids like these.

That looks like a shot straight out of the film. Wow. Reminds me of the party scene.

how much would that sculpt + paint cost?

$200 + $180 for painting/rooting but the latest photo is painting/rooting done by Heise, who's more expensive.

That’s what held me back from this, the mouth was too specific. The eyes could work with plenty Heath sculpts which I really back seeing more of.

So Heise will not be doing any of these?

The realism is on another level. This looks exactly like Ledger. Happy for everyone that was able to obtain this sculpt!

Show this to Aries. Compared to what she's charging, this sculpt is a steal..

I would hope he'd do something different. Once edition sizes are set, I think it should be honored. Otherwise you end up with something like that Ambrosia - Artisan head that's been reproduced too many times to amount to any worth. I will say though, 15 was pretty low. I think See Art's was 50.

I'd take a page out of John's book and axd a little more red on the lip

 

[Nick D]

I think the red & blacks are fine, the white neck paints gotta go. It shouldn’t be on his neck but the underneath of his chin, which somewhat appears like his neck when he’s talking or moving his jaw.

That (our left, his right) eye is spot on Heath, the other one not so much. It looks really good when the right eye is predominantly in view.

 

[Scout Trooper]

As talented as John is, and he is mighty talented, I do think it'd be a miss not to give this Heise's touch. I think only Aybaig has a spot booked for this one that I know of.

 

[Hologram AI]

Isn't Heise's no longer taking commission? I'd throw extra money his way if he was open to it but I thought he wanted to stop.

I do think the white on his neck needs to be cut off earlier. It's running a bit too far down.

 

[Scout Trooper]

Isn't Heise's no longer taking commission?

Yup. But Aybaig had his spot booked early I guess. Heise will honor the remaining spots, but won't accept any more commissions.

I'd throw my money at him too if I could

That’s as far as it should go for this sculpt because his mouth is open, that’s a part of his chin and jaw when closed. It’s not really paint on his neck like people think, it’s just how our chins work. You can see in the same scene, the bottom of his chin towards his neck isn’t even painted. Also, I think Heise needs even less red paint.
