New AVATAR challenge: The Great Communicators!

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

****MODS: Please Sticky!****

Hello, folks!

I want to thank you all for the votes. I never expect to win these things, so I really do appreciate it.

For the next contest, I thought of this: The Great Communicators.

You might begin thinking of the great, iconic characters who have opened hailing frequencies through the years.

But then you can expand it to those characters who have persuaded others to do great or evil things, people whose very words can send chills down your spine. People that are great speakers within the contest of the book/film/show that they are in. From powerful leaders to the computers that govern lives in a science fiction world.

Well, have it. I'm thinking a contest poll will go up next week, maybe Monday (and if anyone can help with all that quoting, I'd appreciate it, as I get confused).

Special thanks to Neroon for his/her encouragement on this topic. It might not be the most exciting, but I guess it's your job to make the avatars exciting nonetheless.

^Neroon is definitely a guy, just to clear that up for ya'.

Hm, okay then... how about this?

Never fear, FSM -- this is a great topic!!

After much gnashing of teeth and rending of garment, here's my entry:

P.S., I can do the poll for you if needed...

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I like your entry.. I saw Mark Lenard at a convention before he passed on, he has an awesome presence.

Thanks for the offer on the poll... I really appreciate it.. and I'll take you up on it LOL

Somehow the frame transitions from both your avatars are in sync!
