Description
When I were a wee nipper I went to see Star Wars at the cinema ( yeah I am that old ) and, as with most people of my generation who first saw it, I was hooked ( although I am not an expert in the wider universe of SW... stopped with Return Of The Jedi with me really) The earliest I can remember drawing anything was drawing scenes from Star Wars, and in particular Darth Vader and his Tie Fighter. I know I am not alone in saying this, but I would credit Star Wars as being the reason I got into drawing. So this is a dedication to good old DarthWIP - [link]

Thanks for looking
* I may try and do a tutorial on how to get that reflective smooth surface of the helmet at some point, as it is easier than it looks and can look really effective.
*added the codpiece. I intentionally left it out originally but it only served to make that belt look too high.
Sorry, watermark added due to art theft and prints being sold on ebay. I will try and get around to adding my own.

really really nice. i like how it shows him as powerful, but vulnerable\alone as well. Just this powerful being that succumbed to trickery and lost it.
