Last day to enter!

Great entries everyone! QuisporQuake, need you to narrow that down to one pic as your official entry. Since you did post in time, we'll let it slide for a little bit (till end of day) and hold off voting to let you select just one of those pics to use. Voting will start tonight at midnight. PM me your top 3.

^that would fall under the any media creation category, so yes I think I've said this in past contests with comic book panels to keep it concise, a 40 panel 4-5 page comic is not going to work for this contest as we're looking for one distinct piece of artwork

^Ivan, yes, as beautiful as that picture is (seriously, DST should have that as a mural at their offices) even Spidey seems down that he isn't able to enter. same goes for gifs

We have another massive amount of control art and sketches from the Marvel, Marvel vs Capcom, Tomb Raider, and Street Fighter X Tekken minimate lines by DST Minimate Designer Uriel Caton! Zach and Uriel have graciously given these along with painted prototypes from the Marvel, Terminator 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Playstation and Halo minimate lines. In honor of this outstanding artwork, let's see what artwork we can create. Entry is simple, create a minimate work of art. Only the best entries will win prizes .... well, there will be random drawing too for prizes but best entries get first pick. =============================================================== Prizes: Art Packs Reaper Set Marvel Set: Nova Corps Centurion & Onslaught Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) Set Maestro Hulk Set Tomb Raider Set: Father Mathias & Sun Queen Himiko MvC3 Set: Akuma, Mike Haggar & Nathan Spencer Street Fighter X Tekken Set 1: Marduk, Hwoarang, Raven & Kazuya Street Fighter X Tekken Set 2: Abel, Yoshimitsu, Rolento & Rufus Street Fighter X Tekken Set 3: Julia & Heihachi Painted Prototypes Vault Guard Old Man Logan Miles Dyson SWAT Officer & test shot of Library Ghost dress piece Cybernetic T-800 Scorched Endoskeleton Master Chief with MA5 Assault Rifle & Arbiter mask Jax First Appearance Ryu 1st Place 1st, 4th & 7th pick of prototypes 1st, 4th & 7th pick of Art Packs 2nd Place 2nd, 5th & 8th pick of prototype 2nd & 5th pick of Art Packs 3rd Place 3rd & 6th pick of prototype 3rd & 6th pick of Art Packs Also we will do a random drawing from all of the entries (minus the top three) for another prize package: Random Drawing #1 Remaining prototype & Art Packs =============================================================== Rules: 1.) For your entry the main requirement is that it must be related to Minimates. 2.)

Please submit your entry in this thread and note on it that it's your official entry. 4.) This must be a new creation from the start of this post. This doesn't mean that everything in it must be new. For example you can take a picture of your figures or old customs, as long as it is a new picture. You can take a bunch of old pictures and create a new collage. You can create a brand new custom and call it a sculpture (or actually make a Minimate sculpture). If you have more questions about this please ask. 5.) Only one entry per person, open to all members worldwide that are not me. 6.) You can make changes to your entry up to the deadline of this contest. 7.) Remember safety first and that we are a family friendly site. 8.)

Any entries that do not post either due to timing or technical issues are not the responsibility of MinimateMultiverse. 10.) MinimateMultiverse has the right to change the contest or rules at any time. This includes but is not limited to the completion date and prizes. =============================================================== Dates: Entries will be accepted between now and November 2nd at 11:59 PM CST. Voting begins immediately after end of entry date until November 7th at 11:59 PM CST. Winners will be posted shortly afterwards. =============================================================== Voting: The PM Ballot system will be used for the voting. Each submitted ballot must list in order, the top three most creative entries. 1.) Most Creative Entry 2.) Second Best Entry 3.) Third Best Entry Anyone can vote, even the participants. If you are a participant, you cannot vote for your own entry. The 10 point minus system will be used to calculate the results. Points awarded will be as follows: 1st will get 10pts, 2nd will get 9pts, 3rd will get 8pts. Tie-breakers will be decided by sudden death cage match pillow fight or by my kids' vote; whichever is easier to schedule. During the voting period, please send all ballots by PM to me. =============================================================== If you have any questions, please post them in this thread. A big thanks goes out to Zach at DST for the prizes and a special thanks to Uriel Caton for sharing his incredible art work with all of us! Good luck and have fun!

Don't go the Michael's (or other big box store) route, I've had bad experience with them and haven't heard one person say good things about custom framing jobs there. As other's have said, find a smaller store, you'll see a huge difference in skill level. Also grab a thin easy to cut mat from an old frame (yard sale frame, cheap one at store, something) and draw/cut out what you're wanting. That'll give you an idea how the end product may look, let you tweak it if needed and also give the person cutting an idea what you're looking for in the finished product (soooo much easier than trying to explain it in words).

Not sure if anyone has posted these before but saw Hexbug Nano's with coffin cases at TRU ($6.99). I should have taken picture beside a minimate for scale but appear they would make a good fit; the coffin is slightly longer and wider than minimate (about 1/2 inch extra). Amazon link

You're so getting some new bug spray sent to you for the holidays this year

Moved topic to the correct sub-forum NerdyTrev, ...

Random my a$$! You guys have seen who's taken over, right? The correct answer is: Symbiotes Symbiotes Symbiotes *I'm not eligible for prizes so this post doesn't really count, please don't eat me!

Hail Ivan, the Kang of the minimate universe!

I've yet to find any of the sets besides Yondu around here. This is the quickest selling wave I've seen besides the Avengers sets. No Groot =

Happy Birthday!

Like having Baxter Stockman in the ointment ; let's keep the new movie talk in this thread

Hail Ivan! Rodent relations have improved over the past year, you have to take little baby padded steps!
