Hmm... If Mike were up for it, I'd bet he'd get donations through the Paypal thing to help with the cost. Out of curiosity, how much for a full-color, say 640x480 picture? And would you be willing to draw up a few variations so we could all vote on the final product?

Note--just tossing out ideas. This is completely up to Mike.

Another example...

I like that, but maybe instead of or to go along with the Star Destroyers you could toss in some Tie Fighters.

Lord Poe, that is excellent! Very..errm....propaganda-y! Spiff it up with a death star in the background or something and the TIE thing...Mike could even code a button into the pic:

(Would you like to know more?)

leading to the turbolaser calc section or something

Thanks for the comments! I'll spiff 'er up when I get home later today. BTW, I'm using a "Superman" body mesh, with Arnold Schwarzenegger's face for the Imp Officer!

If someone could get me a nice hi-res picture of a Stormtrooper...

Thanks! And of course, that cool Imperial symbol is the work of Galvatron
(Hope I spelled it correctly, Ethan!)

One facing straight towards the camera, maybe? At attention?

a picture of a group of stormtroopers palnting a flag beneath an At-St would be nifty for propaganda, but a bitch to draw no doubt....

Wow. A magician with a fully-functional Stormtrooper uniform.

I now have an idol to look up to.

I wonderhow many days he can wear it, suspended over the Thames river?

I think Wayne and I are on the same page here. I was thinking something along the lines of Alex Ross's Justice League poster...

Like this, Imperial-style...

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2003-11-29 05:19pm

Maybe something like a Marines recuiting advert

"The Few, the Proud, The royal Guard"

With a full frontal pic of one of the Emperors royal guard, holding a focepike at attention with an imperial cogwheel in the background.

Galvatron · Post by **Galvatron** » 2003-11-29 05:22pm

Are the royal guard a branch of the military unto themselves? I thought they were hand-picked from the stormtrooper ranks.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2003-11-29 05:28pm

They're hand picked, but ten again, it would make exceptional propaganda.

I could probably do it sometime over Winter break. I'll actually be doing posters for my sister's boyfriend, who runs a lightsaber-based sword-fighting program for kids, so it'd fit right in with the general thing I'll be doing.

What I'd really need is a good, high-res image of the Imperial insignia (preferably a vector image) and a good cap of an Imperial officer, possibly from one of Mike's laser discs.

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2003-12-10 11:22pm

Just think: would it actually inspire you to join the Empire? I think that should be what we aim for.

And yes, I'm perfectly willing to wait for the winter break to see if people can come up with something. I wish I had artistic talent on my own, but sadly, I don't ...

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2003-12-11 02:36pm

Um, Mike? May I ask why you're worrying about this when there are so many other parts of your webpage you could be working on? *cough*Database*cough*

For some reason, the second I read that I imagined the Iwo Jima Memorial statue with stormtroopers instead of marines...
