Joaquin Phoenix - Joker Bust

My first likeness sculpture: a semi-realistic simplified portrait of Joaquin Phoenix as "Joker", from the 2019 film of the same name.
The goal with this piece was to focus on the likeness of Joaquin Phoenix, and I therefore wanted to start with the base skin, sans Joker make up. Later decided to include the Arthur Fleck version as a separate bust, adding new hair and clothes.
Originally, the intention was to make a very simplified head to use as lighting reference for a digital painting of Arthur Fleck facing Joker, but as I kept adding details to the head I was inspired to finish the project in 3D instead.

Sculpting and retopology made with Blender, textures and renders made with Substance Painter.
