nate_studio Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hello, Multiverse! I've been watching this site for a while and I figured it was finally time I just joined and became a part of the 'verse. A brief history of myself... I got in to minimates at the very beginning. I was in high school then and I got both the Ultimate X-Men 5 pack and Spider-man 5 pack back when those were a thing. I was hooked. Unfortunately, I tried not to buy duplicates, so I still actually don't have Carnage or Ultimate Jean (who were left out of the 5 packs). I bought the Daredevil and Hulk packs, the first Captain America, Ironman, and Fantastic 4, but then I fell out of mates for a few years and got in to Mighty Muggs. When I got back in to mates, I tried to only buy X-Men figures to save money. That's how I missed out on Mysterio, Hawkeye, Shocker, Kraven, Red Skull and so on. Now I realize what a fool I was and have been collecting more broadly since then. Lately, I've felt the urge to do something creative with my love for minimates, so I started the minimate photostudio. I plan to update a few times a week and see what it evolves in to. Right now it's mostly pin up type images, but I'm planning some more interesting ones for the near future, so please check back often. Other quick facts I mostly collect minimates, but I have a solid Mugg collection and two Marvel Legends figures (Beast and Astonishing Wolverine) and two Marvel Universe figures (Thor and Cap). I've now been married for two years to the love of my life. Together we own an Etsy shop. I'm an artist by trade. I have both an art blog and a deviantART if you're interested. Thanks for reading! - nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hello and welcome to the 'verse, Nate! Glad you made it. I really like your kind of style you display over at your blogs. Not only the Minimate blog. I'm especially digging that Beast! Keep us updated with your stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Heh, I had the same problem initially, but a different team. I was trying to only get Avengers related characters, but that didn't last long. Trying very hard to stick to just Marvel 616 characters these days. Anyway, welcome to the 'verse.

jcastick Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 A very big welcome to you!! Great photography also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_studio Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks everybody! I've put a lot of work into finding and honing my art style. Photography is a little newer to me ...especially at the mini scale. It's kind of funny to think that any of us tried to limit our collecting to just X-Men, Avengers or any one team... though for now I am sticking to just Marvel. But even that would change if they ever got the license for Hellboy or Power Rangers or Ninja Turtles. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome to your club!

The Geohound Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hello, welcome and thanks for the modified Animaniacs reference. Unless that was purely coincidental, in which case, did you know your topic title is a take on a reference from and old cartoon show called Animaniacs? It was a great show. You'd probably like it. It's really funny. Yeah, so I may be crazy. You have some pretty cool pics and stuff on your DA. Mine is mostly, well, it's a mess. Anyways welcome to the place. It's pretty awesome. I'm sure you'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate_studio Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 It actually was an Animaniacs reference, Geohound. I can't help myself when it comes to referencing my childhood. Any time someone offers me a napkin, I have to reply with a "...what for?" You've got some great stuff on your dA account too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 And now the dinner etiquette song is stuck in my head. A man after my own heart. Thanks. I look forward to seeing more awesome stuff from your photo studio in the future. Aw crap... United States Canada Mexico Panama It never goes away.
