Portal Knights Archer

Here's a 3D print and paint of an Archer I've played as in the game Portal Knights.

Relatively happy with how it came out. The plastic base did warp a bit, but that's down to the resin I'm currently using. Paint-wise, it doesnt feel like an amazing job, but it fits in with the cartoony graphics of the game.

Here are some more pictures, and work in progress bits and bobs:

Somewhat related - I'm actually the composer of the Portal Knights (and DLC) soundtracks. You can have a listen to those online on Spotify:

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.
