SF&F avatar contest: Empires

The Romans had one as did the British, for many they are either the embodiment of pure imperialist evil or the height of civilization.

Of course in the worlds of science fiction and fantasy they can be something quite different altogether. I am of course speaking of that most imperial of organizations, Empire.

Wither it's galactic or medieval the notion of an Imperial state has been a staple of Science Fiction and in celebration of this not so little fact I have decided to make this contest a showcase of the Empires.

Your task (should you chose to accept it) is to create an avatar that represents the Empire of your choice. This can be anything that you think best symbolizes said Imperium.

Good Luck.

 

Too easy...

I'll try to think of something less obvious.

 

does this qualify?

 

^^ well I'll vote for it!


...and I'm going for a wanna-be empire. Worked out about as well as the Thousand-Year Reich.

 

Ok which should I use:



OR

 

^

Spock.

Let's see if the Mirror Universe counterpart has the same capability to win as the regular version.

Here's my entry, unless I think of something better -

 

Avatar Contest Rule #17: When in doubt, go with Spock.

 

video games count, right?

 

^I would say so,after all, I couldn't reject one of my favorite games could I?

Whilst I'm here I might as well present my entry:

A mighty Amanda of Ha'taks representing the power of the Empire of the Goa'uld System Lords.

 

I'm going with the "not going to get a single vote" entry.

From Kings:

 

Only about a dozen entries...ya could get a vote or two.

 

Good point. Spock it is.

I think Evil Twin may have beat you to it.

 

no, ET's using scenic shots of Romulus, Cardassia, Unimatrix 01 and Qo'nos

 

I don't know if LD has done one before... I can put one up later tonight on his behalf if needed.

 

^Could you please ZK? I might screw it up if I did it, and we have so many great entries...
