Full Length Art converted into "cardboard minis"

[Abyssal Lord]

Does anybody here does this?
I often appreciate the fact that the art in Dungeon would depict most of its NPCs in their "entirety", in other words, not just a close-up portrait, but from the top of their heads to the tips of their boots.

What I do is that I scan the pictures, download them to my computer. Then blank out the background text, whatever, print them out (in miniature size) on a white label paper, paste it on a piece of cardboard, cut them out and then place them in plastic card stands and use THEM as minis, which is especially helpful if I am running that specific adventure.

Yep ... I do both tokens for general adversaries, and stand-ups for major NPCs or just cool artwork. However, I don't paste them to cardboard but rather had a double-sided Photoshop template. Each side prints on a different piece of paper, then when aligned and glue-sticked together I get a thin but sufficiently rigid token/standee.
