You did [I]that[I] with a toothpick?

Dude, I am envious!

For the coat, I suggest microsuede in an eggplant shade.

Not only am I blown away with your talent with your toothpick after sunday brunch, but when I opened it I had my 5 year old daughter sitting next to me. Since I got her "into" Wonka like every child big and small should be, I asked he rwho that was in the picture and she knew!

We will be waiting to see this baby finished!

Can't stop staring at this one. It's REALLY amazing, Ed. Such a beautiful likeness... And with a toothpick no less??? Geez, makes me wanna hang up my sculpting tools. Bravo, buddy.

Thanks everybody! I wish every head I started came along like this one did. My sculpting is so hit and miss. The sad part is after this one came out so well I know the next few will probably look like doo-doo.
As for instructional videos, watching this get sculpted wouldn't teach anything to anyone. My good sculpts are just happy accidents.

[almitysufx]

I do think part of how well it came out is just that I wanted this one for so long.

You really captured his likeness. It amazes me that this is your first sculpt attempt.

[almitysufx]

Hey Mike, either I misunderstand you or you misunderstood me. This isn't my first sculpt, it's not even the first time I tried to sculpt Wonka. I made an attempt to do a wonka head 9-10 years ago, it would have been my second mego custom but I did not wield the mighty toothpick well back then and gave up. Cut to Sunday morning, I decided that was the day( I have been thinking I needed to give it another try for about a year now). I've done a few other sculpts in the 9+years between the 2 wonka attempts. What was cool about this one is that it turned out well from start to finish. Most sculpts I do, I rework over and over till I'm happy.

Great work man. You have a natural ability there.

Fantastic work! I think you're really nailed Gene Wilder's essence.
