Happy new year guys! First piece of 2018! It's about a sith apprentice who's taking over vader lead, in a parralel star wars univers.I'm trying to improve my workflow lately by taking less time in fine-tuning 3D details and putting more time in overpainting. Cheers!

In one reality, that would have been awesome. Makes me wish Star Wars would go into a multiverse like way with the Legends continuity being one reality, the current one being another and so forth. This one would be absolutely perfect.

Awesome! I've always toyed with the idea of what if one the Emperor's acolytes might have slain Vader and taken Vader's place. Because I don't think it would have been very difficult. After all, Sidious lost interest in Vader after his defeat by Obi-Wan

'I don't think it would have been very difficult'? I think that both in the old and new canon there have been multiple attempts on Vader's life from the emperor's acolytes and he did this to force Vader to prove himself as still having worth as an apprentice and keep him on his toes. The fact that he's still alive by the original trilogy meant that he would have had to survive many assassination attempts over the years and George Lucas himself stated that at the height of Vader's power he was 80% as powerful as the emperor. Just throwing that out there.

True enough, but the theory here is that an acolyte powerful enough in the Force might have been able to accomplish it. Hell, his own secret apprentice, Starkiller, destroyed him in a face off, and only let Vader live in order to save his friends from the Emperor. Even Luke once bested Vader in a duel and had to restrain himself from striking the killing blow.

Luke was somewhat debatable. Vader was feeling conflicted and didn't really want to kill him. And he was the son of Vader, giving him great potential in the force and he is stated to have the potential to surpass Sidious; though this is offset by him having relatively little training.
As much as I dislike the old canon being thrown out, one of the few things I'm glad is no longer canon is Starkiller. He was fun to play as in a video game, but from a story perspective I dislike him; he's such a lore-breaking character. He not only straight up overpowers Vader, but Sidious as well. Not even Yoda could do that. The director of the force unleashed also claimed Starkiller as being what Luke would have been if he had been trained by Vader. This makes Luke's existence and presence seem pointless if someone who could just take them both out existed and was just randomly found by Vader.
But putting aside my dislike for him and assuming someone with Luke's power potential could just randomly exist and come out of nowhere, both of your examples involve a character that had the potential to surpass Sidious himself and one of them(Starkiller) actually did at the time they fought him. Given official statements on Vader's power level, a Vader at his strongest would take someone near Sidious's level to defeat in a straight-up fight. Once again, Luke's fight with Vader had some other circumstances due to being more of an emotional fight.
In my opinion, having someone on par with Sidious just randomly showing up feels like such a huge power creep. Though the original point I was trying to make was that unless this acolyte is someone that Vader has an emotional attachment to(Luke) or is at least as powerful as Sidious(Starkiller), he wouldn't have made it easy for them.

Disregard what's canon or not please. I understand your points (it certainly would not be easy) but I feel that the overall lack of Vader-par opponents was due largely to the fact that Force sensitive beings were nearly made extinct after the Jedi Purge when Sidious took power. And because Jedi philosophy restricts a lot of potential in power-output, many Jedi survivors who tried to take on Vader failed. I simply feel that a skilled enough Force sensitive, trained from early on (especially in the Dark Side) would be a serious threat to the Dark Lord. Look at the Sith Rule-of-Two; When an apprentice grows powerful enough they will be able to take on and slay the master. The master wouldn't surrender without a fight, but the apprentice should be able to defeat him/her regardless. It's not impossible for vader or Even Sidious to have an usurper. Strictly speaking in regards to a Force sensitive being who has been classically trained.

I feel like it's a misconception that Jedi philosophy restricts power. As long as we're disregarding what's canon and what's not, Luke surpassed Palpatine with Jedi philosophy and Kyle Katarn was pretty badass(even using force choke and force lightning) so I doubt it's weak or anything, though that could attributed as new Jedi philosophy rather than old Jedi philosophy. You could argue that Kyle is more of a gray Jedi, but Luke also developed his own variant of force lightning. Starkiller also initially wasn't stronger than Vader in terms of gameplay and only surpassed him and Sidious after turning to the light side.
There were also plenty of Sith in the old republic era that got themselves killed because of their cocky attitude too, so it's not like the dark side is automatically stronger. And the rule of two is a philosophy, not an absolute truth that guarantees strength. It was made with the intention of that happening, but that doesn't mean it will inevitably happen. And I still think being stronger than Sidious is ridiculous based on the information that's out there about how powerful he is.
Luke and Starkiller were the only force users of their generation to surpass Palpatine. Luke surpassed Palpatine because he was the son of a person conceived by the force itself. Starkiller surpassed him for who knows what reason(that's never explained, hence my dislike for him). In any case, the only force users that surpassed him in his time were huge anomalies, which I feel would be cheap if a lot of them were popping up. And it once again contradicts Luke and Leia's significance of being born of someone who is literally 'half-force'. If all it took was extensive years of training in the dark side from an early age, there were plenty of acolytes who could have done the job long ago; and some of them actually attempted this.
I wouldn't be as bothered by it if there wasn't already official information on how powerful Vader and Palpatine were and the explanations as to why so much hope was being pinned on Luke and Leia to one day bring them down. It's something that is more plausible in another era of Star Wars, but the prequel and original trilogy era has so many established details about major characters' powers and abilities that it'd be land mine situation to try to insert characters like that in the middle of them and have it make sense.

This is awesome! Beautifully drawn. Speaking of Star Wars, I wonder if Kylo Ren will be able to defeat Rey when its obvious he has feelings for her.

I honestly liked Kylo. At some point, his actions sometimes led to funny results. For example, when Rey escaped that chair thing in The Force Awakens, Kylo got ape shit and threw a tantrum. This result in 2 clones just on patrol, see kylo throw the chair out the door which made the clones go back and say NOPE. Also when Kylo was like... in the middle of a bath? And Rey communicated with the force and Kylo was without a shirt. Rey saw this and got disgusted while Kylo just stood there like, "What?". Also, I believe there as been a few female siths in 2014 Animation series Star Wars the Clone Wars. Kylo is much better at being well... Kylo. Probably because most females aren't as rage/ape shit, all the time. While most young, evil guys like Kylo, are.

It might be Rey being a sith. Which is probably female Ben solo (Kylo ran). Which might lead Ben Solo to be.. Male Rey.. And be a jedi... Wtf

Eh, it's not just SJWs. It's not a Social Justice Warrior thing for you to want your own demographic to be represented as an equal to others. That's just called being human.

Glad you agree. I don't like the ones who take things too far, but we've gotta balance things here. It's not okay to hold someone down for demographic bullshit that was forced on them by whatever powers run this universe we're in. I'm all for women and different skin colors being prevalent in the Star Wars Universe, or any Universe real or fictional. And actual aliens.
