The Empireby *rhymesyndicate

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Movies & TV

I've always loved drawing Star Wars and have already posted some of my pictures:

Star Wars has been around a long time now - so I really don't get anything from seeing images that copy stills from the movies or don't add any originality. So I always try to paint something that you haven't seen before - and with this one I've attempted to mix the epic 'movie poster' look with the feel of a super-hero team cover.

I really went all-out with this piece and it took a very long time to complete. I painted it at a very high resolution (it's a 330mb PSD file) but I dramatically reduced it here to make it quicker to load.

Hope you like!

Oh my... if you ever hear me saying that rhymesyndicate isn't one of a biggest Star Wars' fan and drawer, tell me immediately to shut up !

Another excellent piece! Love the fading of the Vader helmet into the stars, just like the classic Empire Strikes Back promotional material.

Thanks again! Yep - I grew up with that stuff so I dare say I was influenced and inspired by it. Plus it just 'works' as a concept with the black of his helmet fading into the limitless black of space.
