Tenth Anniversary Edition Artwork | BrikWars! | BrikThulhu
Rising | The Deadly Spaceman |
BrikWars is a tongue-in-cheek
wargame, designed for taking the most congenial and innocent construction-toy
figures and plunging them into the darkest depths of the most horrifying
forms of violence. But don't feel too bad for them - they're construction
toys! Pop their body parts back together and they're as good as
new.
I've made piles and piles
of artwork and illustrations for BrikWars over the years, which
eventually helped me land my first job at LEGO as a concept designer. However,
it's important to note that BrikWars itself is completely unrelated
to LEGO and is not a LEGO-specific game. For more information about

Artwork
for the BrikWars Tenth Anniversary Edition (2006)
The web release of BrikWars'
Tenth Anniversary Edition required a whole pile of artwork.
Many pieces were scraped together and retrofitted from many years of previous
material, and a whole bunch of new work was slapped together from scratch. Here's a page of some of the highlights. |

BrikWars! (2003)
This epic piece, showing
universal BrikWars warfare from every era
and genre, would be the ultimate painting - except for the inexplicable
exclusion of giant robots. Other than that unfortunate omission,
it's the most popular BrikWars painting to date, and one that I'd love
to sell as a poster, if only it weren't for those nagging trademark
issues. |

BrikThulhu
Rising (2005)
BrikWars has a unique
philosophy of glorifying cheerful violence and happy-go-lucky mayhem
for their own sakes, and it's spawned a number of distinctive religions
among the construction-toy populace. The most iconic figure in construction-brick
religious practice is that of BrikThulhu,
the octopus-headed god of disorder. |

The
Deadly Spaceman (2001)
The
Deadly Spaceman has been BrikWars' official mascot since the
first edition in 1995, getting a new portrait with each new edition.
This was the painting for the 2001 ruleset. |
