Description
There are lots of pictures of Darth Vader around. But I don't think many of them make the most of the character and end up with him looking like he's just standing waiting for a bus. So I wanted to draw him in an original, almost comic-book style - and try to make him look really evil and menacing.This is a completely original piece drawn in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet.
Hope you like!

Once again, I love the lighting and the perspective. You really succeeded in making him look menacing here.

You have failed me for the last time, Admiral...
The poor Admiral. I hope it's not Admiral Piett.

Nah. Admiral Piett was the only high-ranking official Vader didn't have to choke because even though the Millenium Falcon escaped, it wasn't Admiral Piett's fault. The times he choked Admiral Ozzel and Captain Neda. For Admiral Ozzel, he was choked because he came out of lightspeed too close to Hoth, which alerted the Rebel forces. For Captain Neda, it was because he lost the Millenium Falcon when it got too close to the Star Destroyer.

Vader is a very demanding boss!

I really like this! Very nice work with the color reflections! And I not only agree with your assessment with typical renditions of Vader, but I also feel you nailed the goal you mentioned for this!

excellent! the super shiny gives it a sense of empowerment. Vader has everything being on the Empire and he should always look in tip top shape

Yes, this one is very cool, love the bi chromatic feel,
your other Vader is drawn significantly better, you have improved much since painting this.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look and to give me some feedback - it's very helpful and I appreciate it.

No problem, it's always better to get some genuine feedback, right?
Rock on.
ps> your Ice-T has a somewhat flat forehead, good job on the wrinkles on the clothes though,
that's always tough without reference

Thanks for the comment - and sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you like the red lighting - I took some 'artistic liberties' because I thought it woudl work well on Vader's costume.

Thank you. I'm tired of seeing pictures of Darth Vader that have just been copied from stills from the movies - so I'm glad you like this for being different!

nice, and quite original too. The blood red colours work really well.

Thank you. Trying to come up with an original take on Darth Vader was a challenge - as he's such a familiar character. But I'm happy with how this turned out.

I love the reflection of the red lightsaber, but he looks super shinny! Very awesome!

Thank you. I emphasised the reflections to give the picture more impact - and it looks like it worked!
