Thank you to all of the artists out there who sent in an image for the Star Wars Galaxies Create a Painting contest! Out of all of the entries we received, the paintings below are the top three Imperial submissions. Congratulations to the finalists!

The image with the most votes at the close of the poll on June 30 will be added to the game. The painting will then be awarded as an additional 5th anniversary gift.

Vote for your favorite today! Good luck to all of the finalists, and thank you to everyone who votes for participating in the contest.

Congrats finalists. Any chance of being able to get higher resolution copies of these to use for desktop wallpaper or anything?

I love numbers 1 and 3.

3 has a very menacing Imperial feel, while number one is great Imperial propaganda. I would so like both!

It's gonna be hard to choose...

Ughh. I like them all, but I'm gonna vote for 3.

Good job to all the finalists.

The first one has aliens and the empire but i voted for its quality

the middle is a desperate attempt at echoing the force unleashed promo.

the last though perfect in content is lacking the top images technical skill.

With Empire Day here tomorrow... A Day Long Remembered just stood out for me on this one. Much like the Rebel Finalists though it was still a hard choice between the three.

It's a different art style.

The top one imho doesn't seem imperial enough, though incredibly beautiful.

The second one is more to my liking though tbh i'd be happy with any of the three.

/Tiphat to all 3 finalists.

Jamus.

No they are both montage although the top one has some illustration mixed in.

At the end of he day the top one has better execution/professional finish.

all 3 are very good, there are some very talented artists among us, but a day long remembered just wins for me

For those who are curious, the text in the first painting reads:

Ceric (Top Left)

Tails (Top Right)

United in (Left, Up/Down)

Our cause (Right, Up/Down)

Craftes * Fighters * Ents (Bottom)

The top has much more CGI/hand drawn images, while the bottom has more in-game art (which I like).
