Imperials by Kevenn T. Smith

This is a commission that I did for a friend.  When I was a small child, I drew pictures of characters from Star Wars a lot.  I don't think I drew Darth Vader very often, or at all.  I always liked the good guys better as a kid.

Earlier this year, I drew several Star Wars trading cards for a charity event to take place later this year, but I still hadn't drawn Darth Vader (or any Stormtroopers).  This piece gave me the opportunity to tackle those characters and find my own take on them.  At first, I got a little intimidated by the limited motion their armor would allow, but eventually, I figured out the way I needed to approach it that would work.
