Cowblaster Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Since they announced the Ghostbusters minimates, I wanted to print-out a Vigo painting to go along with their display, but then realized a "realistic" painting of Vigo wouldn't fit with the minimate figures. So, I made one of Vigo in minimate form and figured I'd share it for all of you guys in case you were interested. It's big, but should print at about 6 inches. If you can get it on glossy card stock, it should make a nice accessory for the guys (especially in their GB2 uniforms). Here's what the final product looks like when printed: Edited January 13, 2010 by Cowblaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Now that AWESOME! Wicked sweet painting cowblaster. Now if DST'd get off their butts and give us a Vigo minimate. Edited July 7, 2009 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 That's very very good and a GREAT idea; really hope DST does this for the official one (if we do get an official one), but if not i may just have to borrow that. Being the artist i am, though, i'm not just gonna say it's great without a few critiques. The upper body is magnificent and really well done, but it looks like Vigo's legs are suffering from what i call "big head syndrome;" called that because i've done it many times in the past. They're a little on the thin side and it just looks a little off. Other than that it is an incredible piece of art and you should be proud of yourself.

cylonchaney Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very nice indeed! Did you consider giving the pile of skulls he stands upon the minimate treatment? That would be wickedly cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 ah ha ha ha! That is AWESOME! Someone whould make a Viggie custom. You could possibly use a Buffalo Bill head? Good work mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowblaster Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Awesome! Know where I could get a movie accurate frame? XP I thought about that myself, but it turns out the painting wasn't in a frame (as it was being restored by the museum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Oh wow, man! That looks fantastic! I figured coming to this thread would be showing a picture of the figure. Somehow, though, your painting is even better than that announcement. Really great job! Thanks for sharing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquis de Carabas Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Somehow, though, your painting is even better than that announcement. agreed! hope you don't mind if I print one off likewise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Now we need a Carpathian minimate. And a child of course so he may live again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowblaster Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 I managed to print this finally and put it in my display. I used glossy paper used when printing photos to give it that "oil canvas" shine, and the paper stock is sturdy enough to keep the picture upright.

MINI_MYTE Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Hey minijoeshmo... nice start, but you have to lose the noses. Minimates are notorious for not having any, even in paintings. Edited July 28, 2009 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
