I had this extra Prince Xizor laying around and I thought that his outfit under that cape looked a little like a Bothan Dignitary suit. Now I've seen many different versions and looks for Bothans. I think the one in the Essential Character Guide is just silly. I do like the versions in the comic books like in Heir to the Empire and the X-Wing comics. When I saw the cover of "Specter of the Past" I thought that best represented the look that Timothy Zahn originally described so that was my main reference for the head. I made the head sculpt with Super Sculpey and then added a little more hair using A/B Epoxy. I did this one a few years ago but before I sent it to Dan I figured I would add a little more hair on his hands using Epoxy as well.
An earlier version of this custom is shown below. You can see the improvements made since this photo was taken.
