Darth Vader

A wonderful piece of artwork posted on Star Wars Day! Mike's detail and texture on this piece are truly amazing, which, of course, comes as no surprise. Many congrats, Jason!

Perkins is no stranger to the Dark Side ;)

May the Fourth be with you!

Well, I get up, get even, yeah
Jedi goes to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm Perkins all the time

It seems to me I could Sith my life
A Darth Vader than I ink I am
I guess Dark Sides they call me
They call me the Perkins fan

They call me the Perkins fan
I guess that's what I am

This is a great example of why I love his work. Absolutely killer!

Love the interplay of light and dark to give us an imposing Vader confident in his power.

When you're doing a Vader piece, you can ever have enough blacks.  This is absolutely perfect and absolutely gorgeous.  Impressive, most impressive.

Wow, the amount of collectors who held onto Star Wars art they bought ages ago just so they could post it on May 4th is ridonkulous! No need to thank me, by the way. I appreciate it, but Mike only let me ink the Vader figure. The pencils and lucious backgrounds are all Mike!

I don't know who's the biggest art mule between us but ok, I'll take it ;)

Fantastic moody piece. Those swirling fumes alone...

A really strong image. Vader reaches towards the viewer from a dark and misty page. I can feel my throat tighten. The scratch effects at the bottom a nice addition.

Sweet Perkins Vader piece! I missed this the other day when you posted that other X-Wing piece. So many awesome Vaders on CAF this week.
