Description
This is a contest entry for
Next to the newly appointed Darth Vader, you will see the yellow and red Sith eyes - the scar given by Asajj Ventress on Coruscant over the right eye - surrounded by the flames of Mustafar. This is an indicator on what will happen to Lord Vader in his first duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I also thought it would be symbolic.
The quotes around him are what best reflect on both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, especially during the young man's transformation to the dark side of the Force. Some are based on hope, despair, and wicked pride:
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
"He is the Chosen One. He will bring balance. Train him."
- The last words of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn to his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
"Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is. Consumed by Darth Vader."
- Grand Master Yoda to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi
"Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire."
- Darth Vader to Obi-Wan Kenobi, moments before their duel on Mustafar
"You will not stop me. Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us."
- Darth Sidious (aka Emperor Palpatine) to Yoda, during their duel on Coruscant
"You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you."
- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Darth Vader, seconds before the Sith apprentice's inflammation
"Obi-Wan... There is good in him... I know. I know there is... still..."
The last words of Senator Padmé Amidala to Obi-Wan Kenobi
Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
"I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully."
- Future Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker to Darth Vader after his surrender on the forest moon of Endor
I hope you'll enjoy it!

I just simply love this.
BTW there is a theory out there that I share with certain others, which is that Anakin Skywalker had to become Darth Vader in order to become the Chosen One. With absolutes comes absolutely no balance. Halfway into his life, he had destroyed the Light as Darth Vader, and at the end, had destroyed the Dark by becoming Anakin once more, bringing balance to the Force.
Still, All Hail the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader!

Thanks for the critique and support, old pal.
How frightening do you find this picture?

Again, the red eyes surrounded by the flames especially gives a feeling of terror. They are intimidating.
That's mainly this detail I like the most: I also interpretate the fire as a symbol of Anakin's consumption to the dark side, to his other self, Darth Vader. Furthermore, eyes are often considered as mirrors. And there, they do reflect Anakin's conversion to the evil path.
I remain curious about Anakin's whole representation (on the left side). For example, why his eyes are blue, there... But maybe it illustrates some quotes based on hope about him, like Padmé Amidala's or even Luke Skywalker's.

Mirrors, huh?
You could say that.

Yep, eyes are the mirror of the soul. That's we usually say.

Anakin did becomes Darth Vader before he dons the suit. Darth Sidous dubbed him Darth Vader about one minute after he killed Mace Windu.

Agreed, old friend.
Tell me, what parts do you like best? Be a bit descriptive, if you please.
