Well thanks. The reference picture I based this off of had green gauntlets. I think he wore them in The Empire Strikes Back.

you're correct about that, and honestly the green looks better

Ah, Boba. Most awesome bountyhunter in the galaxy. My father scoffs whenever I try to say he didn't die in the sarlacc.

Awesome. I like the scarring on his face. I've seen alot of pictures where people show his face scar-less which bugs me.
How did you make this?

It's a type of Pixel-art called a micro-hero (because usually the template is used for superheroes) which I modify and make custom armor, outfits, hair faces etc for. All you need is MS Paint. If you'd like to see more or learn where to get templates or see tutorials for making them check out the Microheroes International Board: [link]

I like it man, but something just seems off. It's somewhat lacking in what your others seem to show.

That would help, but what's bugging in the hell out of me is that shit hanging off from his shoulder. I don't think they should go straight down like that. XD

Oh, the Wookie scalps? Yeah, I was wondering whether I should have left them out. They were tough to try and make look right. Anyway I appreciate your criticisms. It'll all help the next one to look even better.

This is great! Again, the detail you put into these is amazing!
I also couldn't help but read that you liked The Last One Standing. I love that short story! That really is the only way I can see him.

Yep. For me, that is Boba Fett defined. All others all mere hollow imitations.

Sweet job! The armor looks splendid, spot-on job with the colors, the shading and of course the weathering. You even see his trademark dent in the helmet. The cape looks great as well, and nice to see a hint of the jetpack.
The likeness to Morrison is definitely there, and while at first I also thought he was a little too pale, it only makes sense, his face being concealed from light and sun most of the time by his helmet. Nice scars, too, though maybe the Sarlacc left him with even more... but then again, maybe your depiction of him is pre-RotJ.
Nicely done, in any regard!

Hehe, yeah, well, there is a whole Boba customing forum called "The Dented Helmet", after all.
Pretty amazing attention to detail, then, I never really bothered much about differences in Boba's suit between the movies, to be honest. Though I wonder where his red belt is... maybe that's another RotJ addition?
And, btw, I can only echo the popular opinion of his spot-on portrayal of him in Last One Standing. Though not nearly as good as that in Last One Standing, Karen Traviss's characterization of him in A Practical Man was also rather fitting for him, unlike her somewhat different portrayal of him in LotF.

Yeah, the last really good Boba appearence was his two or three pages of coming out of nowhere and kicking ass alongside the protectors in The Unifying Force. I find it ironic that Traviss was able to expand a lot about the mandos so well, but so poorly mishandle their most prominant member.

Thanks. Do you have a favorite interpretation of Boba? Which story do you think portrayed himn at his best. I was always fascinated by his actions and code of conduct in The Last one Standing, particularily how he refuses to touch Leia when, during her capture by Jabba, she is sent by the crimelord to "entertain him" for the night, and how he believes himself to be an instrument for good since he hunts criminals and murderers, and thinks that Han Solo is the villianous one. His original backstory as Jaster Mareel was also very intersting before they had to ret-con it for AOTC.

Yes, that one is very good. I also like the episode where he learns of Mara Jade's death and sends a very interesting gift to Han Solo with his "deepest sympathy". I think it really shows Boba's truly Mandalorian nature.

I tried to do his face as close to Tamuera Morrison's as I could, but sort of making him look...wilder, edgier. He's also a little paler too, since he spends all that time in his helmet.
