Star Wars - Vader

Happy Star Wars Day everyone..............*looks at calendar*..........better late than never, am I right?

Okay, but in all seriousness, I wanted to try something different. And what better test dummy than recreating a badass image (that's just a cool shot from a trailer for the Force Unleashed 2) of my favorite character from my most favorite franchise of all time.
Side note: I have done a criminally low amount of Star Wars art for how big of a Star Wars fan I am. Well, on my art pages. I've done plenty sketches & doodles growing up. I should really work on rectifying that. It is the year of the 40th anniversary.

What brought out the desire to do this? I recently did a painting IRL & that I was the 1st time I've painted in years. I did do a number of paintings while in school (Please note: I graduted from High School nearly 3 years ago, so I'm not talking 20 years or some shit). Hey, maybe I should use Paint tool SAI to paint. I'll probably be good at it, maybe, I don't know. What I do know is HOLY SHIT I like this!
