AO-Maru Legacy Series 3D Model by Leo Blanchette

AO-Maru – Friendly Blue Robot Legacy Series Model by Leo Blanchette

View on TurboSquid → AO-Maru – Friendly Blue Robot (Legacy Series) AO-Maru is the original friendly blue robot mascot, first appearing in Leo Blanchette’s stock illustration work before becoming a available as a 3d model. Part of the Legacy Series, this model represents the transition from still-image mascot to fully rigged, animatable asset — a hallmark of the early 2010s internet aesthetic. Created in Blender 2.59 and exported to standard formats (OBJ, FBX, 3DS), AO-Maru was designed to be both brandable and functional: a figure of optimism and curiosity from a time when “AI” still meant Adobe Illustrator. ...

Blueberry Bot Legacy Series 3D Model by Leo Blanchette

Blueberry Bot – Legacy Series Character Mascot by Leo Blanchette

View on TurboSquid → Blueberry Bot – Legacy Series Character Meet Blueberry Bot, one of the central mascots in Leo Blanchette’s Legacy Series, created in 2011 during the peak of Blender’s 2.5 era. Originally designed as a recurring stock illustration character, Blueberry Bot was reintroduced as a standalone, fully rigged 3D mascot — available for companies seeking a friendly, tech-forward brand presence. This character carries the spirit of early web illustration: earnest, glossy, and optimistic about technology. It was modeled for clean topology, reliable deformation, and easy customization — built for both still imagery and animation. ...
