So. What ever happened to that Emperor with the really huge wang? He must have had a few stories to tell, eh?
Reminds me of some Assyrian king or somesuch, who having conquered a couple of neighbouring countries, had himself declared "King of Everything"
...and here we have the son and successor of Charles Compton: Sebastian I, Emperor of America and Mexico, King of Canada and Alaska. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Maximilian's Presentation of the Constitution of the CGU, c.6275. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Depicting Maximilian von Compton, Emperor of Terra, presenting the Constitution of the Central Galactic Union, setting into stone the foundation of a constitutional galactic dictatorship. He reads the constitution from a central podium to the Imperial Senate, dressed in a polymer armor designed to look like Roman armor, while wearing a crown of oak leaves. At only twenty-five years old, the cunning emperor crafts a totalitarian regime based in blind human nationalism and militaristic imperialism. With the utterance of a single phrase, Menschheit, Vorwärts!, he rouses the masses to him. He makes himself the sole ruler of all mankind, the Dictator of the Union. Forged in blood, steel, and hydrogen, the new Union spans the galaxy, bringing together every human into the bonds of specieshood. And so begins the Era of the Central Galactic Union*. * = full state name: Dictatorial Republic of the Central Galactic Union of Human Systems.
Not laurel? If he's going for the Roman thing with his armour, you'd think he'd want a laurel wreath. Looks like an enthralling speech. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
IIRC, the Roman corona civica was oaken. The crown he's wearing is patterned to look like a Civic Crown, like these: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Wikipedia agrees that civic crowns were oak leaves, but laurel wreaths were awarded to succesful commanders, worn during their triumph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_wreath I guess it depends what you were going for:

I have to say Hap', I really do think these picture of yours are really remarkably good - considering what an absolute pig Paint is to work with, they really are extraordinary. Have you ever considered using a vector graphics program instead?
Nah. Despite its shortcomings, I like MS Paint. I'm used to it. I've essentially mastered it. And, as has been pointed out, I'm bloody good at it. If need be, I might edit some pics in photoshop or coreldraw. However, the basic drawing will always be done in Paint. So, to continue. A fictional news-report of the BBC.
