Minimate Labs: Searching...

Pantone Project

October 5, 2009

If it isn't already totally obvious, I like things that glow. From LEDs to bio-luminescent sea-life, if it emits light it is good. I also like things that are transparent. Actually translucent is a better word. If light can pass through it, it is good.

I decided to combine those two fascinations into this Pantone project. There was a set of translucent Kubricks that sold for silly money. I couldn't warrant spending huge funds on a Kubrick item, I decided to spend funds on making a Minimate version. Then I made it glow.

MMMV Hunt #3 - Part 0

October 1, 2009

There's no substantial update today for two reasons. One, I've been spending my Minimate-time shooting photos for the 2009 version of the MMMV contest hunt. You know that one I've been pimping for the last couple weeks. Here's a photo of my Hunt Buddy, Comrade Boris Tiltawhirl Girlieshorts.

Two, I'm running out of material. Chronologically I'm only a year back, and since then I've only done three or four Minimate projects. Once I've posted those, I'll have to make new material. Heaven forfend. :) Maybe I'll start just posting once a week instead of twice. Or perhaps one major project post per week and one little tease post like this per week. We'll see what happens.

Multiverse Wallpaper Contest

July 16, 2009

This was a time frame where there always seemed to be an interesting contest running at the Minimate Multiverse message board. As a result we come to the third consecutive contest post. The only restrictions on this contest were that it had to be Minimate related (naturally) and contain the Multiverse logo.

There was one thing about this contest that seemed helpful at the time, but ended up making things more difficult.
