My Influences:
Darth Vader
Dark Lord of the Sith, all-around cool guy
Darth Vader is the coolest. He could certainly take out Super Man, Under Dog, Capt. America and George Lucas (that's just the short list, folks.)
As far back as I can remember, I have enjoyed Star Wars and, obviously, Darth Vader. I think he is a great example of a driven character, full of discipline and willing to adhere to a code.
Furthermore, Ralph McQuarrie, the artist behind the visualization of our hero, has inspired me. Without this extremely talented artist, we would not have the wonderful artistic imagery given to us through Star Wars (despite George Lucas' miserable attempts to sully his own creation.)
Above is McQuarrie's concept sketches of Darth Vader. (I realize I'm a total Star Wars dork, but these images convey the early story Darth Vader even better than the final image we carry of the hero. It's genius. Trust me.)
So, there you have it. Darth Vader! I've always looked up to him and will continue to do so.
