Halloween competition 2018: Joker Willy

Inspired my Matt Hicks' awesome Wild Wendy and other head sculptures, over the years I've experimented with carving my own Wild Willy driver figures, typically customising their heads into open-face helmets to help reveal more facial features.

Initially I cut the key parts of the helmet away (in this instance the chin bar and also raised the forehead section), then use Isopon P38 body filler to fill in the gaps, before sculpting them with an X-acto knife and Dremel as required.

My Joker Willy is of course inspired by Heath Ledger's portrayal in the Dark Knight movie. He might look a bit scary, but at the same time, I hope adds to the comic twist that is having Wild Willy as a driver... after all 'Why so serious?!'
