Lately in my work I’ve been revisiting my childhood, where, at 7 years old, I had gone through a number of fairly soul crushing life-changes in divorce of parents, moving, etc. But as a medicine I had discovered VIDEO GAMES! As a child of the 80’s I had discovered Nintendo, and grew attached to games like Mario, Zelda, and others. These little Shell Bugs are inspired from those games. See the sketchfab previews below. You can find them on Turbosquid as well https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/bugs-super-simple-rigged-3d-model-1660752 ...

You can now purchase it for Unity 3d Here https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/oculon-eyeball-centipede-monster-game-enemy-185046 https://youtu.be/meTpu0SRj94 Or on Turbosquid: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/eyeball-centipede-monster-rigged-3d-1659444 There is nothing quite like the Centipede to really bring back the classics in game culture. In the 10 monster series, this one qualifies as my favorite. He was inspired from Lanmola, Legend of Zelda. Lastly, you may view it or purchase it on Sketchfab: Oculon, Centipede Monster, Rigged and Animated by LB3D on Sketchfab

This reminds me of some lyrics from an Alice in Chains Song: What the hell, got to rest Aching pain in my chest Lucky me, now I’m set Little bug for a pet These have finally been uploaded to Sketchfab https://sketchfab.com/alienated Kranion, Plague Spreader Queen Variant by LB3D on Sketchfab Kranion, Soldier Variant by LB3D on Sketchfab Kranion, Drone Variant by LB3D on Sketchfab

View Kranion on TurboSquid → Kranion – The Sci-Fi Parasite Kranion channels the unsettling energy of classic science-fiction parasites — equal parts facehugger, headcrab, and baneling. Created by Leo Blanchette, this rigged alien creature comes in three fully realized variants: Drone – a base crawler for swarm or ambush scenes. Soldier – armored with facial plating and defensive spines. Plague Spreader – featuring translucent poison sacs for grotesque attack animations. Each version shares the same core topology, armature, and texture workflow, allowing creators to swap or hybridize designs effortlessly inside Blender or Unity. ...

View Sluggor on TurboSquid → Sluggor – The Fan-Favorite Slug Monster Sluggor is one of the most recognizable creatures in Leo Blanchette’s collection — a rigged, animated slug monster that somehow manages to be both revolting and endearing. With its translucent skin, tooth-lined mouth, and subtle bioluminescent horns, it’s become a best-seller among 3D artists, indie game developers, and creature designers alike. Sluggor was crafted to embody the perfect balance between simplicity and personality. Its geometry is deliberately efficient — only 1,688 polygons — making it ideal for real-time rendering while retaining enough detail to look convincing under cinematic lighting. ...

View on TurboSquid → Lance Ant Monster – Formicidae-Inspired Fantasy Creature The Lance Ant Monster is a rigged, game-ready fantasy insectoid designed for use in cinematic sequences, games, and creature visualization. Created in Blender 2.90, this monster combines the organic realism of ant anatomy with exaggerated menace — a giant stinger-lance built into its abdomen. This model captures the ferocity of Formicidae-inspired predators and transforms it into a mythological desert guardian or a science-fiction bio-weapon, depending on your creative universe. ...

Finally, my last monster of the 10 monster series! All of these monsters are going to be animated for Unity3d and available on my website, as well as Turbosquid and Sketchfab. This guy took a fair amount of time. Since it was the last in the series, and the wasp base model (I created years earlier) was decent quality, I decided to put in more effort. The challenge with any low-poly model is of course retaining detail. I’m very glad this part of my production marathon is over. ...

Here is the Kranion, loosely inspired from Halflife’s headcrab, and partly inspired from Alien’s facehugger. It has 3 variations: Basic, Solider, and Poisoner. These are also getting converted into game assets, but here are some quick renders and wireframes. Kranion animation

Cave Needle – Classic Altered Beast Monster Inspired Creature Here is the stinging ant monster, inspired by the “Cave Needle” enemy from the classic game Altered Beast. Of the ten monsters I am currently creating, this is one of my favorites. Childhood is a special time. Even in dark worlds some children endure, there are always small highlights. Mine was watching the arcade machine auto-play the demo of Altered Beast and watching over the shoulders of the lucky kids who got to play. ...
