link 46 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sounds interesting. But a quick question, does the poster have to be of a minimate license, or of anything that we want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sounds interesting. But a quick question, does the poster have to be of a minimate license, or of anything that we want? Anything, as long as it involves minimates. You can do something similar to the promo ones with current minimate licenses, or create one for a license that you would like to see, or one of the movie posters, or try recreating a famous work of art, or even just a good picture of some minimates ... tons of possibilities. Need ideas, check here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to all. If it's something that would be cool as a poster: be it a magazine cover, album cover, comic cover, movie poster, etc. then it qualifies for this contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Okay, guess I'll start. Obviously I'm obsessed with one thing right now, so....yeah. I'm hoping I didn't make the good-quality manageable-sized image too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
