Looking really good.
Funny, looking at both versions from the special editions makes you wonder what ILM was thinking.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm not sure how they got it so wrong!?

I could believe it was maybe a family member of Jabba, but surely NOT Jabba himself.

Exactly! A hutt, but not Jabba.

Thats actually the closet CGI design I've seen of the original puppet.
I didn't read all the pages and everything on them, (lazy, I know) but are you also planning to animate him?
Because already seeing this better design in the "standing" position looks really good.
Funny how its so hard to recreate a 1980s puppet.
I am definitely NOT a sculptor by any means, plus I grew up in Florida, but in the early 2000s, at Christmas I would come where my family was in Idaho, where I'm now living, and decided to try my luck with a snow Jabba.
Its much harder than I would have thought. I've made other Star Wars snow stuff for fun as well.

That snow jabba is awesome! Would love to see more of your snow stuff!
And yes, I plan to animate him and stick him in the scene with Harrison Ford/Han Solo!

That will be cool. Hope it turns out really good. Put ILM to shame.
This was one of the first things I did, Christmas 2003 I believe. (with my first baby jabba)
Then the next year was the better Jabba from above. Then one of those years was my attempt at Vader and the death star.
And last years after moving here to Idaho, I attempted Vader again....to which I still am not so good at. Of course that was after 11 years of not seeing any snow. I had made Boba Fett, but not sure where that pic is.

Dude!! That is awesome!!!! (We don't even get snow where I am)
Also, I'm so glad you seem interested in this project!

Of course, sounds like a fun project to tackle.
Lived in Florida for 33 years, only got snow if I visited family.
Plus, while everyone always ranks Empire Strikes Back as the best, which is really great, my favorite has always been Jedi, with Jabbas stuff, space battles, so much greatness.

Awesome! Another Rotj project I want to do sometime, is the Darth Vader reveal helmet!

that'd definitely be a difficult thing to accurately do. i'm just hoping with my edit of the scene everything looks right and it works well.
i'm decently new to all this stuff, i've still got a lot to learn, especially things like rigging and animation. i only really started 3d designing/modeling sorta recently. so i definitely am not the best nor am i the most qualified i guess, to be doing this. but i've been having fun so far, and i hope you're gonna like it!

What I don't get is when they first added this scene in again, why didn't they just make it look like Han walked around him and not over him? Stepping on him just isn't believeable to me. Your work on this is looking great, but I'd try to make it look like Han walks around, not over him. I'm sure thats a lot more work though.

i could try it. but yeah your right it would be more work. i am still tempted to do two versions of the scene. one where he steps around the tail, and one where he still steps on it. first of all, i want to make everyone happy with this. and second, it could also be fun to do a funky face for jabba when he's stepped on!
I'm glad you like the way he's looking though!
