My continued efforts to ape the style of @ilchy.bsky.social in 3D. I've tried various painting programs - GIMP, Krita, Paint Shop Pro 3 - and the one I'm most comfortable with for this kind of painting is still just Blender! Don't mind the wacky goggles, they're going to be more sci-fi later

Steam Fall sale is ON! Too brain tired after Nighthawks launch to do a proper marketing for this right now. In the meantime, I will have blind faith that public desire for our games transcendes the need for me to tell everyone to buy them. There. Nailed it. store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

Great chat with @technocratgames.bsky.social on the state of the indie & wider game industry, cyberpunk, low-poly models & 3D engines i.e. Quake / Half-Life making a comeback, staying creative an adaptive in 2026, and more! www.youtube.com/live/vNDzR6a... #indiegame
I can make models, but I'm a lot less competent at painting textures. As such, I've been using projection maps of @ilchy.bsky.social portraits for the game, and cleaning up the results afterwards to make it fit the head.

I've had to show my MP that they're not even hiding the comically evil side of things. They're named after the artifact used by Sauron to spy on the people of Middle-Earth, and their UK head's grandfather led the British Union of Fascists.
