To avoid derailing the thread here:
http://forum.alienslegacy.com/viewtopic.php?t=2357 where a potential UKCM recruiting poster was discussed - let's hear your thoughts on how it should go.
Mods, you can delete some post on the other thread I guess ('cept my first if that's alright).

I do
artwork if you can think of anything...
Poster artwork a speciality...

At the moment I can't commit but I'm going to pull-out all the stops for this. Having seen the Alien Encounters DVD, this should be fun!

Is it a full 'weekender'?

What would it take for you to do a recruiting poster along the same lines, though? Since I'm pretty sure everyone here that bought a PR poster would take one of those, too.

^ It's a possibility although character design/illustration isn't my forté. I could use photos of UKCM Marines however, but they'd need to be good quality and very hi-res.

I'm thinking something posed like this...

I could work something around that.

This'll be a 'not-for-profit' if we can share the load on the printing costs.

THe M41a posters would come in handy as spot prizes and if your up for doing I recruitment poster that would be great. as an artist myself I could probably help you come up with something.
As for the photo, i have been dying to set up a phot like that for ages. Just never been able to manage it.

The bottom of the image is cut off/black, but there in the thumbnail.

Another good one:

I could certainly use them but as I mentioned they'd need to be around 20 inches wide at 300dpi to stand any chance of looking good on the poster.
