So far the Sackboys I’ve made are characters on the side of good, but I was tempted to the dark side this time.

I really wanted Darth Sackboy to be all black, so his facial details had to be quite obvious as there weren’t different colours to distinguish what’s what.

Working out the helmet was quite tricky, I had to redo it a few times to get the shape I wanted. Once I did I realised that Darth Vader’s outfit is based on a Samurai’s. It is so similar in shape, but due to the colour I did not see it at once.

Darth Sackboy has had some positive feedback when I posted him on some flickr forums, so I am very happy with him
