I have also on occasion drawn my own minis.  One time I needed a zombie camel and a zombie minotaur, so I just drew my own, large size, then I shrunk them down on the copier at work to the right size for a mini, and they worked great.I uses minis every game, it helps tremendously. I like the minis to look like the monster or the character they represent, I think it adds to the game quite a bit.</blockquote>
