Darth Vader (Ralph McQuarrie) by Simone DiMeo

The characters and theme is great use of Di Meo's skills that have the smooth and seek finishes of Vader and the rest of the empire's mechanical idustrial design. 

Hands down the meanest and cleanest Vader in my collection.

Most impressive. 

Congrats on pulling the trigger on, in my opinion, one of the top modern artists in the game. Five years from now, you’ll be glad you were one of the first to put your money where your eyes were and scored yourself a killer deal in the process! Welcome to the Di Meo Fanclub!!!

Thanks, Carl. I'm looking forward to seeing the other pieces he has on his list! 

Fantastic

It doesn't matter if a stormtrooper can't hit anything when you've got a lean, mean Vader machine leading the charge. Amazingly good. I found this commission particularly interesting to see Simone's process as he took an idea he had previously sketched (in my gallery) and then expanded on it 1000%. 🔥

Yes! I remember commenting on your piece to Matt when it was posted from OAX and he said it was the warm up to the bigger piece.

Clean, Sharp, and Dark....Perfect.

Godspeed JEJ

Incredible Vader piece!  The polished technique, the birds-eye view, the lightsabers floating above Vader as he prepares to destroy his enemies, it all works together so well.  DiMeo hit it out of the park on this one. Congrats on a positively sublime Darth Vader splash!

Sublime indeed! It's amazing that this is all traditional.

That's Outstanding

EPIC!!

Great piece Justin, and Oh my goodness, vader is even pulling in those small pens from the side and bottom of the illustration.Sometimes we just don't know what power lurks on the dark side of the force!

If they'd gone with this design I might have become a Star Wars fan!  Beatiful!
