Artist's Comments

well, one more quick digital Vader's fanart =D (to be sincere I make all those Vader's fanarts partly to get a Dark Knight or even Dark Master =D degree at Jedi Club [link] some time in the future, 'cause for now I'm just a humble padawan, but of course I'm longing to become a master :giggle: wouldn't that sound proud: Dark Master Basia (almost)theBrave?
I again sent Master Darth Vader for holidays to our galaxy, this time to the mountains, and placed him reeeeeaaaaaaaally high =) so he could have a great view, and I think on that top of the world he looks suitable, in fact already in StarWars he's been so much above all the others SW characters (I know, it wasn't objective statement, but who cares ?I'm the dark padawan finally then I can have my favourite dark character, can't I? ) I think with this one I was inspred both by Japanese graphic art and romantic Caspar David Friedrich's paintings :D no, I'm not Friedrich's works' fan or something, I assure you, but in some of them I kind of like the atmosphere.
I suggest you to look at the pic while listening to Marillion's song "The space"(from "Seasons end" album), especially to its fragment:

"On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone
Unable to breathe at the height that you flew
Staring on clouds with no view of below"

doesn't it sound suitable to Vader's situation? psychological and phisical as well - I mean this fragment about unability to breathe :tears: poor Vader, what have you done, you stupid stupid Obi Van Kenobi? :!:
may the dark side of the force be with you all, especially with you, padawan Patrick, of course I'd love to be your dark master =D as soon as I myself become one =)

:thanks: my dear :blowkiss: you're so nice, I'm happy you like the mountains I painted :) you see, those were just a few lines few fillings in with gradients, few other actions on photoshop and that was all, I'm sure you could easily paint the same without any problems! thanks for the statement Vader look cool :nod: yes' he's cool I think too, but it's George Lucas (and Vader himself mainly) that deserves the credit that it's such a cool and interesting figure and character :), not me,
thanks for your kind (as always :blowkiss:) words, my dear little fish!

You are right it does look very japanese, which means I love it. :) I can't believe you said you did this quickly. Its so beautiful. I really would like to see a tutorial on how you use photo shop.
:iconbasia-almostthebrave:
:thanks: thank you! japanese you say? I'd love to =) I know those letters at the right aren't Japanese unfortunalety, not like those you use on your paintings sometimes, but I didn't know how to write "Darth Vader at the top of the world" with some Asian-like letters, so decided to live it in Monotype Corsiva font, but eventually I don't think anybody besides native Japaneese people could know that in fact, so I'm not very ashamed for not knowing how to write it in Japaneese :giggle:
:nod: I was made very quickly I promise ! and I'm afraid it's too visible, that it has been a quick piece, just few lines, and maybe Jedi Club won't accept it as a work that shall make me a little bit closer to becoming a dark master :?
you know , some time may pass until I submit some tutorial, I've never made any tutorial and don't think I could make one :confused: but maybe some day I'll be really brave and create such a tutorial (even though I don't fing me photoshop abilities worth writing about them in public) but if you please
:iconshitb:
Wow... this is amazing :) Nice use of colours, here... the saturation is really perfect.. the misty feeling and the contrast of a black-clad vader across the blue and white is just awesome! Nice work... and great composition too, if i must add. I like this very much :)

For some odd reason, reminds me of a Chinese painting. I don't know why, maybe it's the mountains. Was that your approach? If it was, really amazing job you did. Truly magnificent. :D
:iconfuzzygoldfishsheep:
WOW! :omg:
That's tremendously beautiful!!!
Those chinese/japanese style mountains look fantastic :D
And the way Darth Vader is poised, it's so fitting :w00t:
I just might have to fave it :p
:iconyourpetwerewolf:
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oool :wow:
