Star Wars Nerd: Medieval Lord Vader via Prince Armory

In medieval times there were knights, warriors and Lord Vader's???


Medieval/Fantasy Lord Vader Leather Armor

Well, it is finally done.  This is the 5th installment of our medieval spin-off designs that re-imagines heroic or villainous comic icons or other legends as knights or warriors in a fantasy based medieval setting.
Conceptually this was a very challenging project.  When you work on a very iconic character you have to think long and hard about how much liberty you want to take with the design.  On one hand you don’t want it to play it too safe and have it a borderline carbon copy; that would be boring.  And on the other you don’t want to go so far it is no longer recognizable or make design decisions that puts the fan base up in arms.
