My friend Emily Beaulieu, aka Follow the White Rabbit, just finished this rad commission for Mark Austin, who played Boba Fett in the Special Edition of Star Wars: A New Hope. Emily is a very talented artist, not only does she make amazingly detailed plush, she's an accomplished animator, a stunning photographer and she customizes vinyl/resin toys.
She Says,
"Mark was an animator at ILM when he was asked to play Boba Fett in the new Mos Eisley docking bay sequence with Han Solo + Jabba The Hutt. He was already a huge Boba Fett fan prior to his role in the film, so having the chance to play his favourite character in the Star Wars legacy was amazing experience for him. I met Mark when we were animators on the movie G-Force at Sony Imageworks. Mark saw photos of my Princess Leia + R2D2 plush for the Stitch Wars plush show and asked me to create a plush based on his favourite Star Wars character. Boba Fett is by far my most detailed and time consuming plush doll to date, but I really enjoyed using image references so I could add lots of little detailed stitching. :)"
