Incredible scenes with some incredible people! Thank you for a wonderful EGX, everyone!

Special shout-out to the amazing @voice-quills.com and @evelina-waller.bsky.social for embarking on a cable-car spoons odyssey with us! Beautiful memories and souls all around. Can’t wait for whatever happens next!

Playing about with my Keen rig- trying to match the original key art from 1990! #blender #3dart #gamedev #characterart #commanderkeen

Keen's rigged and ready to rumble!! So excited to finally finish off this project soon #3dart #gameart #zbrush #blender #gamedev #characterart

It's insane that BL4 will put me through some of the most powerfully emotional storytelling in the franchise then pull this two minutes later #borderlands #borderlands4

Keen's got proper hair now! Still working on him, but I've been a bit too busy :,)

Dundee was MAD!
Also I met Stampylongnose at the conference, childhood dream achieved
We're back from Protoplay! 🐠

Seeing everyone getting to play our latest build was amazing, and the entire conference was such a wild ride (especially when the Minecraft movie started playing loudly during our important business meeting)

Thanks for playing, Dundee! 💙🐳

Early test renders... my Commander Keen model is nearly finished! He needs more haircards and I definitely want to tweak some of these values, but progress is progress!

Finally got some time on my hands to paint my Keen model! No hair yet (doing that in Maya), but he's almost ready!
