Description
Fresh in from the Philippines by way of Umatilla, another all-out effort by a member of the Next Comic Art crew. I'm particularly pleased with this because I have been eyeing Mark's work but had yet to pull the trigger on a piece, and this is a most excellent representation.

Pure energy on the page, and the design of Vader-san's armor is wonderful, extending through to the lightsaber hilt. There is also metallic silver and red paint throughout that doesn't really come through the scan, and with a majestic Death Star backdrop, what more could anyone want?

Thanks Mark, Jiggy, and Bill!

Great piece!  What did you ask for to get such a cool twist on Darth?

Thank you! I can take no credit - choice was Star Wars artist's choice.

I lnow the defense looks impregnable but if you slip in, there is one tiny sweet spot that will make things go wild. 
Hey, I'm talking about the Death Star. Honest.

The franchise is saturated enough.  Please don't give Disney any more ideas.  But his is one insanely cool piece though!

On the first day of Christmas,
Mark Torres drew for me
An art sketch of mystery.

On the second day of Christmas,
Mark Torres gave Jiggy
Samurai love,
In a Darth rage Sith mastery.

On the third day of Christmas,
My true Cox sent to me
Neat brush pens,
Through Billigan,
In a package of mystery.

Wow, it never even occured to me that Vader's costume was so akin to that of a Samurai. Such a creatively cool idea!

Yeah I do really like those dashes of red and silver in the armor.  Subtle but very very effective.  What an ultra cool take on the character!
