Hey T don't know too much about this guy except he looks way cool. I did have a peek at the wookieepedia entry you referenced here and had to stop reading it so as i don't go spoiling the book for myself. On the FP!
More about this guy can be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/D%27harhan

He looks like something H.R. Giger might have put together.  I seem to remember seeing another character with a gun for a head, but I don't think it was in Star Wars.  Now I'm wracking my brain to try to remember where I saw it!
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Thanks guys. I put the link up for the book instead of the character because 1.) It's a good read and 2.) the picture of D'harhan was recently added and I had already started working on him before that plus the picture has too much Grevious likeness to it while the book gives just the basic body description :Canon head, Tail for a tripod and black armor. The canon still works even with all the cutting and glue I had to do and it does raise a little with the hinges on the side.

Hard to have a social life when your face is a big honkin' cannon! Cool design! That background is insane, too, all that copper and patina! What is that, originally?

You know what?  I was wrong.  It was D'harhan I was thinking of.  I remember his bada$$ character arc in the book.

Dude!  That cannon-headed bounty hunter is SICK!  Looks like sine kinda crazy Anime villain. Too cool. I second Sprywalker's question about the background also.

This is the background I use for most of my pictures. Captain Nemo diorama. A McFarlane item I beleive.

I also have been working on a lot of Batman figures as well.

Scarecrow




Went a different direction with Clayface than what I planned. Originally he was going to be in a containment suit. That didn't work out so I went with a more traditional concept.





ROBIN



Batman's CONDIMENT KING
