character heights

seems like too much work to me...

I'll probably just
a) scan some images at a REALLY HIGH resolution and then see how big I can get em'
b) beg somebody to take me to one off those places where they have stuff that can make it big for me

OOoo, I know I would like to see a life size image of Crim

Yeah, projecting the images would work. I can't wait to see them when there done.

do you know how much that would cost? ink is _really_ expensive... printing 5+ feet of ink three times...

that would cost a LOT of money... and then you have to take the paper into consideration - they might not have paper heavy enough to suppor itself... in addition there's the printer that they're using... that may not be able to print 6 feet of cardboard stuff...

What about Kinko's? I think they could help you, and it'd probably be cheaper.

it'll still probably cost a ton... but.. it's definitely going to be your best chance...

Maybe you could go with the poster-size enlargement. And then just cut it out.

The most common poster sizes range from 18" x 24" to 36" x 48".

Choice of a variety of materials, such as:
- High-quality photo paper
- Studio canvas
- Back-lit film for flourescent light boxes
Choice of finishing services:
- FoamCoreÂ® mounting recommended
- Matte and gloss lamination available

I'd go with the foam core mounting stuff...

hm... look at the measurements on those posters... the life size things might not be doable....

You could split the pics in half; waist-up on one, and waist-down on another.

this has become a matter of pride now, and I am very lazy (which I'm sure you all know by now) I'll probably just use my printer ^^

I'm sure there is a company that can make them for you. I had a party once when I was younger and my parents ordered a bunch of life size StarWars cutouts. I still have a few of them, especially Leia in the golden bikini. Oooooo my favorite. Speaking of which I'll be back later...

Maybe I need to cosplay as Balmung at Otakon now... *^_^*;;

... me? Do you? Haha, no: You'd have to pay me, and get me a ticket for Otakon since I don't go to con's. :3
