Redirect to original
Description So I asked you guys what to paint in terms of fanart/redesigns
and I chose one of the most iconic evil guys
I'll try to pick up some more of the suggestions though. Thanks again, folks!

I ended up sticking to the original design mostly although I had started out with plans to make it a redesign. So it resulted in this weird mix. Ah, whatever.

1.5h, it's been a while since I made a speedpainting...
it's clearly not the best I could do. Careless planning without concept.

Lol, maybe this will get me hired to work on some SW property again (not really)

edit: not sure how he looked feminine (I must have been drawing one too many girls), but I made some tweaks, also changed the helmet which I realized was really off after I checked some ref.

Hahaha yeah, I wondered about that pose too. Maybe Darth found someone to love - see here: [link]

Nice job Hideyoshi, looking forward to seeing who you take on next!

Looks real good for a speedie. I like it when you deviate from env's. How about a series of iconic villains?

Vader...

you must defeat Vader...

er, redesign... you must REDESIGN Vader...

There's enough Vader art out there to justify a redesign. Although this sleeker version is pretty sweet too, looks like he can actually move!

I like it, but Vader seems kind of compressed from he shoulders up... kind of squat, maybe? Could be just me, sorry. Oh well, just a speedpaint

Uhm. You know... I think its hard to redesign Vader. I mean, in the 'original' style. Its hard, because the original is perfect. But! If you would try it in another world. I mean, steampunk, fantasy, superhero style... That wolud be interesting.
But I like this one. It looks great!

Hideyoshi In reply to D3adD0nkey [2011-02-28 15:13:24 +0000 UTC]

true. I actually meant something like a redesign in a different world. But even that was difficult. Because Vader ist Vader.

Yup... They made him soooo perfect. Here is a steampunk redesign. [link]
The same az on your painting. The Boba is much more redesigned but you see its boba.

His helmet looks kind of odd, like it's both a smidge too big and kind of short in the eye area, if that makes sense. Still, nice work, it's very moody.

Impressively Unique...might become the new Vader design.

thanks! not sure about reinventing anything here though lol

Well, it might be the next generation of Darth Vader. I have been hearing some chatter of after a few years a total re-vamping of the Star Wars series. And there is some truth to that...since the younger generation only got exposed with the Episode I,II,III series, and various spin offs. Personally I would prefer a harder more gritty and realistic Star Wars universe, and alot of the plot holes filled in. They are never dealt with.
