Bigger Megumin from KonoSuba

Here's a second 3D model, print and paint of Megumin from the Anime KonoSuba. It's the same model as before, though at twice the size. I also spent more time tidying up the print, filling in support holes with putty and sanding it.

Mainly printed at 2x scale to test out this scale figure for anime figures. I think I'll be making them this size from now on. It looks great, and was all printed in 4 jobs, rather than the 3 for the half-scale version.

More practice airbrushing - I did a lot more of this piece with it. The only hand-painted parts were the wrapped leg, tights and boots. The rest was airbrush with masked stencils. It also has eyes! I managed to print some transfers at this scale and pop them on.

Again, pretty happy with how it came out. I want to experiment more with stenciling as the dress pattern could have been better, Also really need to be more careful I dropped this various times and snapped off bits and bobs.

You can find the half scale one here for more behind-the-scenes bits.

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.

I use various bits and bobs to craft my shiz.
