Updated pinned post :,)

I'm Narklos! I currently work at Studio Whalefall as a 3D character artist. Previously worked on TFS2 @ Amper Software & some other Source mods. Love bad coffee, old games, and frying my CPU.

My newest character art project is now live!! Commander Keen's been so much fun to work on, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Oh I totally see it haha

I agree! I'd kill for a proper reboot, not the weird one that got cancelled... :(

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

Ah yeah! Hiro from BH6 and Barbara from Rayman were big inspos for this model, really going for the ‘anklebiter kid’ look

Andy Aksu - Working on BRINE @narklos.bsky.social · 16d

That's the idea! I've always wanted to see a proper Keen remake. Decided to just do the damn thing myself ;)

Andy Aksu - Working on BRINE @narklos.bsky.social · 17d

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

BRINE @brinegame.bsky.social · 22d

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! 💙🐳

Currently on a 16 hour car ride home with the team and the communal Spotify playlist is the only thing keeping us together

What an absolutely amazing trip! Thank you to everyone who played BRINE at Protoplay!!

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!
