US Badger from Battlezone

Here's a print of an M173 Badger from Activision's rebooted Battlezone game. I kept it low-poly, as I wanted a set of figures that look like the original in-game models.

ThumbnailI haven't painted it yet other than priming and giving it a base coat. Going to experiment a bit printing some decal transfers to see how that goes.

Who I am

I'm Blake and I like to tinker with things and make stuff. When I'm not programming or developing random systems, I'm playing with electronics, doodling bits of art, 3D modelling or sculpting and painting things or nerding out watching sci-fi or horror TV.

From 2001 I worked in the games industry, eventually specialising in tools to aid in the development of video games and their engines. In 2011 I left the industry and teamed up with a few other talented composers to utilise my knowledge to help build the company 'Spitfire Audio'.

I also periodically compose soundtracks for video-games and have worked on titles such as The Stanley Parable and Portal Knights. You've probably also heard my music in random TV commercials at some point.

What I'm using to create

I use various bits and bobs to craft my shiz.
