Spinning off of the old fashioned game and horror monsters, here is the slug monster “Sluggor”, a fully textured, rigged, and animated 3d model. On Turbosquid: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/slug-monster-ready-3d-1660333 On Unity: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/sluggor-the-slug-monster-simple-3d-character-and-animations-185823 Slug Monster with Teeth and Ghastly Eyes The concept is that he is a sort of bottom dweller, mounting on weak victims and eating them from the top down. A sort of sabotage hunter, the “Sluggor” slug monster thrives in dark damp caves far beneath the discoverable earth, eating any victims that have been abandoned to their fate. ...

Having gotten Adobe Substance Painter, I was able to improve the textures on my recent models. The latest improvement is Arachnirock, the rock throwing spider. He was meant to be acquatic in nature, basking in the sun on rocks and sand at the beach, launching rocks out of his snout toward every human and elven passerby. Lately, I’ve been porting them into the Unity 3d High Definition Render Pipeline to see the model in the most realistic, real-time way. Here is an example from the Unity HDRP. ...

You can find this 3d model / game asset on Unity 3d https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/stabber-eyeball-slug-simple-game-enemy-monster-188000 See the demo videos below. Stabber Slug, Eyeball Monster 3d Game Asset / 3d Model This strange monster is the combination of a slug, an eyeball, and a sharp object, all three of which should be repulsive to each-other. Yet I find they go nicely together. It can be tempting to spin off from other monsters in sci-fi, but as often as I can do that (and do at times) its always worth producing something completely original. To the best of my knowledge this sort of monster has not been designed yet. ...

Something like a leech, something like a walrus, something like a pig. Definitely like a tardigrade, maybe a bit like a game enemy. This is a variant of my tardigrade / waterbear monster: /2021/02/04/waterbear-tardigrade-moss-piglet-3d-model-game-asset/. When I design monsters, I enjoy incorporating the circular tooth arrangement similar to leeches. This guy can easily be pictured rising to the surface of the water like a hippo, making a sound that a giant leech would make, if he were, perhaps, half walrus. ...

The latest project: A giant waterbear. Waterbears are also known as moss piglets and tardigrades. They have a sort of mythological greatness in our day, being supposedly indestructible in harsh climates. I thought it would be nice to make a large scale one, sort of like a hippo or a pig. This will be available as a base 3d model, and likely also an animated game asset for Unity 3d. ...

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 ...
