DARTH VADER

Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker succumbed to the dark side of the Force and became Darth Vader. Scarred by his defeat on Mustafar, he was transformed into a cybernetically-enhanced Sith Lord. At the inception of the Empire, Vader spearheaded the eradication of the Jedi Order, relentlessly pursuing any remaining survivors. Loyal to his Emperor, he executed orders that spread tyranny and fear throughout the galaxy, all in the name of achieving order. However, upon rediscovering his moral compass, Vader would ultimately turn against his Emperor. As one of the most complex villains and anti-heroes ever conceived, his narrative is rich with trauma, power, and striking visuals. This multifaceted character has continually inspired my creativity, leading to numerous fan art pieces that have found their place on various websites and blogs.
