There used to be a great website called Illustration Friday. Every Friday, a new word was given, and artists would submit images based on that week's word. For the week when the word was "WORN," I chose to interpret it as "damaged and shabby as a result of much use." Using this definition, I depicted Darth Vader as worn out from a long day. Many years later, I uploaded that image into Leonardo.ai, activated the 3D settings, and received this result:
In less than 20 seconds, my 2D drawing was transformed into a 3D version. The only disappointment was that the smoke trails from the lightsaber looked more like gray wood with stones. However, the Darth Vader character turned out very well, with excellent lighting, reflections, and textures.

The original sketch was digitally drawn within an hour and posted on the Illustration Friday website.

| Sometime later, I hand drew the design using brush pens, Copic markers, and a white Gelly Roll pen. This was the image uploaded into Leonardo.ai to be revised by AI technology. |
