Joker - Arkham: Prep III--The Collar

Some of you might recall that a significant aspect of my 'redesign' included sculpting the open collar of an Arkham jumpsuit. 

This is a bit of a tricky undertaking without a separate head. Initially, I decided to execute it in two lateral halves, which would afford me the most flexibility in when to attach it, with the least amount of complexity. 

And I had effectively completed the collar, but somethings were not right, not the least of which was the fact that visible areas on the collar and flesh would be unattainable to paint. So I care- fully removed the collar, and reassessed. . .

I have all but decided to go with an institutional scrub top--collarless. This will satisfy the thema- tic and chromatic requirements, as well as eliminate any of the painting "traps".  

Stay tuned! 

UPDATE 21.07.2018. . . The scrub "collar" has been roughed-in and finishing has begun. This is a much more suitable garment--practically and aesthetically! Should progress continue at this pace, Mista' J might be on the painting bench by the end of next weekend!
