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 Darth

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.

I definitely prefer a solemn and despondent Vader, more cunning and less of a joke...

This painting is fantastic! I could throw in a bunch more words to describe it but just know it's in the top 5 paintings I've seen of Vader. Question for ha though, do you have prints of this? I didn't see it in your prints section. And I would love to use this as a wallpaper on my phone, but without the digital watermark, is there any way to do this?

AndyFairhurst In reply to Bulhedd [2015-10-13 18:48:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I have a few prints I sell at cons but not online. I will take the watermark off though so you can use it on your phone

That is, once again, fantastic. Lol. Not to wear the word out. Thank you. What cons do you usually go to? As in what range do you travel to go to a convention?
