The BrikWars Forums

The time has come for the February Figbarf, and this thread will serve as my posting-grounds for the figbarf, with both purist and custom figs, so onwards with the first entry!

Camouflage Christopher, the veteran DSM



Many know great rumors of the shadows that lurk in the trees, but these days those shadows have retired, and revealed themselves to be the simple and humble Camouflage Christopher. After years of DSM service Christopher has finally taken a more relaxing approach to life, caring for the wilderness that hides in his shoulder bushes. But even if he does look calm and peaceful, be warned, Christopher is never done camouflaging.

Very cool! I didn't know that little bird came in blue.

One-Armed Wally, the service robot



Although most robots are treated with great respect for their many utilities, Wally the one-armed robot doesn't get such great treatment. Most missions he's been on end with another circuit fried, or a joint being snapped, but never are these problems fixed by his fellow crew mates.

Bill Bantha, the Brootal bounty hunter



Known across the star systems, Bill Bantha, the Brootal Bounty Hunter is an infamous, trigger happy maniac who is noted to have Brootal like behavior even though Brootalz are usually his main target. His best friend is known to be his gun, although in the past has been swapped around by some scientists and didn't really affect him, but he also has his pal Pippin the parrot, a red-eyed, demon-thirsting parrot.

Mel, the mad maid



After being abandoned by her master, Mel is a raging maid that wrecks the streets, killing anyone in sight. Although she may seem surprised with that owo face, be warned, she is always prepared.

This is a custom entry and I'm conflicted on wether I love it or hate it

Great stuff!

Bill Bantha, the Brootal bounty bunter
FIXED!

You misspelled bunter.

Pat the sPace Pirate



In space, no one can hear you ARRRR MATEY!!!

Pat the sPace Pirate is always on the run; after a tragic betrayal of his captain for a fair maiden, he had been kicked off his boat only to realize that said maiden did not feel the same way. With several bounties on his head for several reasons, Pat is never safe

Some real classics in the Space Bunny style. The pirate in particular feels a little uninspired. Also I just gave mel 10/10 because memes.

My scores are formatted as follows: (style, story, photography, thematic potential)

Camouflage Christopher (7, 9, 8, 7)
One Armed Wally (9, 9, 8, 7)
Bill Bantha (9, 9, 8, 9)
Mel (10, 10, 10, 10)

I'm biased, but Bill is definitely my fave here. Pat looks so well rendered, though! Really cool composition with his hat and the playing cards.

Totally not like that's just how mecabricks always looks without even being rendered

Wait, really? I have zero familarity with digital-brik platforms so thats good to know.

Mecabricks can pretty easily be pushed to photorealism.

LDD: ease of building
Studio: basically built to help you buy bricks
Mecabricks: all about the render

Apologies for the late judging, in order to expedite the progress I’ll forego my usual commentary and jump straight for the rankings unless I want to make a specific note on something.

This looks impressive as fuck but I don’t know enough about mecabricks to say for sure how impressed I should realistically be.
