I was approached by EB Games recently when my entry into their gift card contest was revealed to be a finalist www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi… they wanted to use some of my fanart pieces for the VIP area of the 2012 EB Games Expo in Sydney! If that wasn't exciting enough, I was commissioned to create a brand new piece for them, this collage! The 'Ultimate Gamer' is a type of ticket I believe that people bought to get a bunch of extra benefits at the expo, including the use of the VIP room.
This took me all week, I worked my butt off ha ha XD By the end I started realising all the characters I could have put in! Unfortunately I only had so much time, adding more would have taken me much more time. Most of the character choices were requested by the 'Ultimate Gamers' themselves, and the staff at EB Games. (by the way, the four at the top next to Link are the social media staff).
I had a blast working for them and making this image 8) I hope you guys like it too.

Wow! This is what you call a glorious a masterpiece! A great way of promoting your artwork. I was surprised to see Crash and Spyro included in there too. 8) Congratulations, Michelle!

Well you surely are extremely lucky for being picked for such a commission in such young age! Congrats! Bet they will call you later for a stable job!
Surely you made a very good job in this very elaborate poster!
I thought these kind of companies were stuck ups with the official style, but seems actually they accept different ones after all!

Thanks 8D I hope so, it was a pleasure working with them!
For main marketing they tend not to differ too much from a set style (like most graphic design brands), for things like this though I guess its welcome 8)

Hope at least they credited you in the presentation of the poster. Still few time ago some pokemon movie reviewers from net used an illustration of mine and didn't credited me.

They've been promoting me heaps through this, and my sig is on the poster anyway 
That happens often, its unfortunate when that happens D: You've just gotta hope people are decent and link to the original.

They said are going to credit me in the next video so for this time I forgave them. However if they do the same bad move, it's going to be rough.

Worse comes to worse, you can send them a cease and desist.

I dunno how these are done but will have to find out if they break their promise.

I'm sure there should be a template on the internet you can use

I'm putting transparent signatures in these four usually stolen pictures. It makes them ugly but whatever, I can't take this lack of respect anymore.

This is what you have to do on the internet unfortunately

At least my original art is unloved so I don't need to worry about it.
