I've used Poser to ...

Print out and trace images to form a base for comic strips, then added colour pencils and scanned that back in. Added a thick line on the outside of the figure, then pasted that over a photographic or blurred rendered background gives a really cool effect.   

Printing is also good for creating graffiti style stencils. 

Print a 2 colour image then keep enlarging parts off it on a photocopier. then trace the copies onto large A2 sheets of tracing paper. Stick that to the side of a van as a base for custom car artwork, then hand paint with automotive paints.    

Spike the toon bulldog is particulary popular amongst stock car racing fans as a choice for bonnet artwork. 

Another fun thing is to is 'steal' a digital projector from the office and use it to project toon images on the walls then paint a mural for friends kids. Or print onto acceatea and use one of the old style projectors. Oh, amd remember to return the projector on Monday morning, and deny all knowledge of why it's covered in paint  :) 

It's really cheap if you use normal household emulasion (basically acrylic) paints. Buy a large can of cheap white paint it's easy to colour it with a tube of artists acrylic or some types of powder paint. 

Video and photography - Poser is great for digtal mattes, titles, chromakey overlays and Instructional sequences.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
