Description A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island

And the rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

I Am a Rock, Simon & Garfunkel

As soon as I've heard this song I thought it fits Anakin just PERFECTLY!!! Well...actually, if fits Darth Vader the most, but if I drew him I couldn't have drawn his expression...haha!

And beside, in this drawing Ani is already Vader, so yeah u__u
It's inspired by the scene right after he has killed the Separatists leaders, and he's watching Mustafar... I wanted to give a feeling of abandonment, or something like that xD that's why I drew him leaned on the column, like he's just tired of everything.

The song pretty much sums up what he's thinking, and I hope his expression conveys those feelings pretty well
Oh, and maybe it isn't clearly visible, but yeah, he has yellow eyes, to further show that he's totally Dark Side now :>

And for once I think I did a good background!
The whole thing is nothing pretentious, but it was a good practice.

Now I'm so sleepy! D:
I hope you enjoy it

Three years later, and I'm favoriting this, and commenting mostly the same thing again...

Love Simon and Garfunkel! I was actually listening to them earlier today... I always imagined this song to Batman, but Anakin makes perfect sense too Of course, those two have a few things in common...

Every single one of your SW fanarts I positively enjoy. I love the style, the colors, the expression, the emotion, the content, the narrative of your artwork. It's incredibly emotive and gives me so many feels for the characters. It's beautiful art, wonderful to look at - this one for instance has a really nice color pallet.

Yes!!
It's been years ago that I first heard that song but even back then I felt that it fit Anakin/Vader so well even though I didn't even know how he'd fall to the dark side (that was before the prequels... now I feel terribly old).
Great job with the scene. You captured the athmosphere very well with your choice of colors and his expression. Love it!

It's almost like you could already sense Anakin's character!! Whoa!
I'm really glad you like the picture! Thank you very much once again!

Steffel In reply to Renny08 [2012-10-04 19:08:28 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know any details of course, nor how and why he would go all darkside but in a lot of ways he turned out just how I wanted him to be. That's why in spite of all their flaws I can never hate or even understand all the hatred the prequels got.

And as always you're very welcome.

I always see Anakin as more 'The Boxer' - "I have traded my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises..." But that may be several years down the line, hehe.

Not only do you have excellent taste in music, but your artwork is lovely! I really love Anakin's expression here and your use of color to capture the mood.
