1. Yes, this picture of vader is very well known.
2. Yes, this picture was main reference for making this drawing.
3. No. It wasnt made for any competition. Just for my Facebook wallpaper. I didnt wanted to use this copyrighted picture, but i liked it so much, so i decided to draw something very similar to it by my self. Thats why i decided to use my way of pixeart drawing. If You will try to compare both works there is plenty of diferences, its my vision of this picture. Something like https://i.imgur.com/15ULoG2.gif
Tools used: Gimp, work pixel by pixel with index palette. It wasnt made by useing some sort of algorythm. Its not a mystery, You can examine some of my work while i was working on other picture: http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26127&PID=219468#219468
And :) Im glad You also liked it. ;)

nice, maybe a bit overdone, as in the head is instantly recognizable but not the shoulders (like darth vader has these award winning shoulders)
