Client: Lucas Film LTD via The Cimarron Group.
Art Director Cheryl Savala.
Project Date: Spring 2004.
The DVD Trilogy set was coming out yet again and we were tasked in creating the packaging for it. I was tasked with building out Darth Vaders iconic Helmet, and as usual in the Advertising world I had just over a day to do it.
This where I used techniques from automotive design to build this out quickly and accurately. You can see above that I built out a wire model for the basic structure, as the mask is basically like a car, a continuous single surface with fillets and rounds as this is a molded part.
Once I got the proportions and main surfaces of the face done in the wire "reference model", I started with a cylinder at the nose and went from there. The total time was about 10 Hrs to model the full job with 2 Hrs of material and pre-lighting before I did the 4500x 6600 LARGE final artwork. So I delivered this to Cheryl on time under budget at 12 Hrs.
Sadly the only piece that was used was the chrome points from the mouth, as they went with a stylized illustration instead for the finish.
