Artist's Comments

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 D

        Hyper realism is something which is very hard to achieve and you did a great job here.This looks like a 3d rendered image.You should do more like the.Great work

          Thanks! I think the realism is easier to achieve in smooth shiny reflective objects rather than more organic surfaces like skin or flowing material. I reckon I would find it harder to do, say Han Solo, in this style! I appreciate the compliment as well!
