I really like the "in progress" cover illustration for Brikwars.  Very cool.
Any chance of publishing a larger version of the picture for backgrounds?

Actually I was planning on publishing a very large version indeed, so that I
could sell it as a poster through cafepress.com - but since Lego still has
serious form copyrights on the minifig, it looks like I probably can't make
any income off of "minifig-like" pictures without getting sued (and now,
maybe fired!).  I'm still exploring this angle though, maybe something can
be worked out.

In any case, I do plan on making a background-sized version available on the
"downloads" page of the BrikWars site, once the painting is finished.
Unfortunately I left it behind in L.A., so I can't make any progress on it
until I get back from Billund in March.

Right now the background on my computer at work is

which gets a lot of raised eyebrows from the design managers.

I'm still waiting for Lego security to come down and tell me I that Lego
employees aren't allowed to post to Lugnet.  Or worse, for Lugnet security
to come down and tell me the same thing.  It's tough being a corporate shill!

I doubt it's an issue unless you're doing official Lego Business, in which
case you'll get one of those nifty little Lego Logos to go beside your name
on the web interface.  You'd just have dual accounts, like Jake McKee does.
