Now, if this doesn't violate some sort of copyright infringement or piss someone off with how politically incorrect it is, then I am going to be very angry.

For digital imaging we had to make a digital image around the theme of fascism. I'm not a very politically involved person, so I chose the only politics I was familiar with- that of the GALACTIC EMPIRE. Actually, I'm kidding... I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I think he's one of the most recognizable characters of evil in fiction next to say, Hannibal, and he is a bit of a fascist, so I decided to do a series of images which combined propaganda/hype images with Darth Vader as the figurehead.

This one is based off of a Communist propoganda poster from the 60's which was originally celebrating Mao. The original said "Behold the red sun that will lead us to glory," and I wanted to rewrite it to say "behold the black sun that will lead us to glory" because I thought that was a good reference to vader/death star, etc. However, I don't know chinese even though i am half, so i rewrote it in engrish. Hehe. Anyone get my potshot at ST?

Oh man, I'm going to get shot.

:rofl: I can say you did a great job using SW for the propaganda making, I don't think this violates any laws at all. Great and cool work :thumbsup:

haha, I caught this on the front page. Very clean look to this, and I love the black, red and white.

Hey, offensive/controversial pieces are the best! Myself, this doesn't really offend and or... controverse...(not even a word... or a possiblility) me. It's hard to do that. Well, not really, you just have to know which button to push.


EEEENYWAYY.... great job!

:lmao: So wrong. Yet hilarious. And we were just talking about that scene from the Christmas Story too. Coincidence? Or providence?
:iconsweed84:
WHY OH WHY is Vader giving the Vulcan sign for "live long and prosper." Now you're insulting fictional races as well? You've hit a new low ;)
:icongeargrinder:
Amusing! Funny that Vader should use the vulcan sign of greeting. :XD:

Absolutely hilarious! A great piece to :+fav:!

"Anyone get my potshot at ST" What is this ST you speak of? I am confused. Very funny very cool and graphically appealing. I' m taking digital imaging next semester. I think its with the same teacher you had? Which teacher did you have? Maybe I have steve's teacher? Anyway, what classes are you taking next semester? Will you use them for good or for awesome?
