Ended up on a foliage modeling journey. Finished the grass mesh that I plan to use for another project. The models were intended for macro shot renders. #B3D #Blender3D #BlenderModeling #3DModeling #Foliage

One of the characters that I have made stands in the center of a plane that has knee high grass on it. The grass has fuzzy looking flowers growing at the ends.

A collection of different grass variants placed in two rows, one with flowers and the other without.

The size that the grass model was intended to be rendered, placed next to a can and an accurately scaled skritter effigy. The can has its measurements of 4.83 in or 12.3 cm floating above it to give context to what the scale of a skritter worker would be.

Finished this old creature design I made, I have officially named it the Thinker. It is also available for download on BlendKit under the full plan. #B3D #Blender3D #3DModeling #OriginalCreature #Creature #3DArt

A strange transparent creature called the “Thinker” with four long tentacles with opaque red tips coming out of the lower torso of the creature. There are eleven smaller tentacles around the base of what appears to be the creature's "neck". The small tentacles are red and opaque, and almost look like an anemone. A neck like tentacle is in the center of the smaller ones and ends in a bulbous transparent "head" with strange oval eyes that can be seen inside. The transparent segments of the creature have a slight tint of purple around the edge, similar to the coloration one could find on the edges of a soap bubble. The red segment fades into the transparent segment in a way that it looks like a membrane that is peeling off. It is almost as if the red coloration is not actually a part of the creature. This fading/peeling can also be seen around the small tentacles around the "neck" base.

A window of Blender3D is open showing the different parts of the Thinker. The left window shows the creature as a whole. The right windows split horizontally, the top half showing the “torso” of the creature with its brain visible behind the bits of fading red coming from the tentacles around the “neck” base. The lower window shows the opaque red color of the tentacles on the lower half of the torso transitioning into the transparent segments.

Finished the general rig of the onion based uproot. It is also available for download on BlendKit under the full plan. #B3D #Blender3D #Blendermodeling #Blender3DModeling #creaturedesign #3DArt #3DModeling #DigitalArt #DigitalArtist #MyArt #OriginalCreature #creature

Another member of the uproots, this time taking inspiration from onions (specifically a leek as seen by its broad flat leaves). The uproot has an angry expression on its face and as described previously, has leaves in the vague shape of a Mohawk hairstyle. It is wearing a red poncho that is asymmetrical, giving its right arm more freedom of movement over the left. On its head, there is a single loose strand of the outer layer of the head. This loose piece gives the appearance of an unkempt piece of hair.

Image of the model within blender, the left showing the rig and the right the standalone mesh. Giving more context, this model is actually an older model. In a sense it is the first of the uproots that I had made. The reason it was uploaded last is because it was made before I learned how to rig the mesh to an armature. After finding it in my older files, I decided to go back and finish it.

The onion based uproot is fully rigged now (excluding the facial expressions). Now all I need to do is rig and weight paint the poncho and set up bone shapes. #Blender3D #B3D #Blender3DArt #workinprogress #originalcreatures #originalcharacters #Blender3DModeling #WIP #workinprogress

The image shows the window of the 3D modeling application Blender, with a plant creature that appears to take inspiration from a leek based on its flat leaves.The initial design posted earlier had red/pink coloring, this was changed as red onions do not have flat leaves. The onion character is in an exaggerated pose as a way of testing if it had been weight painted to the armature correctly. This model uses a different technique for the elbow rig and is double jointed. This was done to make it easier to make correction shape keys for when the elbow bends. The rig also uses the tentacle rig from the tutorial video by Pierrick Picaut’s tutorial video for the leaves. A modified version of the tentacle rig is also used for the limbs to help with arm twisting and to add more flexibility when animating.

Still Working on rigging, but I did make something else on the side. #WIP #workinprogress #Blender3D #B3d #Blender3DArt

Posting this here to show the skritter's canonical size. There is a soda can for reference. More details in the alt text. #Blender3DArt #B3D #Blender3D #Blendermodeling #Blender3DModeling #OriginalCreatures #OriginalCharacters

Here shown is one of the human characters that I have made to compare how small the ant-like skritters actually are. The stilting sneer and the beetle-like rolling skraggle can be seen next to a soda can at the right foot of the human character to scale. The skritters are so small, only small yellow dots can be seen by the can.

This image shows the in-blender scaling of the creatures. As the skritters are too small to animate at their real size, a large can is used as a reference for any other object that is used for a scene render. Essentially the can is scaled to real life dimensions, from which any downloaded object is parented to the scaled can. From here the can is scaled to its original large scale, enlarging anything that was parented to it.

Was looking through some of my old blender files and found these two. Going to touch them up and rig them. #Blender3D #B3D #Blender3DArt #workinprogress #originalcreatures #originalcharacters #alien #Blender3DModeling

A translucent alien-like creature with a vague humanoid shape. There is an eye stalk that ends in a bulbous shape that has two visible eyes inside. the shape of the eye stalk looks almost like a head and neck. Its brain is in what looks like its torso, and the nerves of the creature visibly go throughout the limbs and eye stalk. It has four long tentacles and a ring of shorter tentacles around the base of its eye stalk. The brain is missing a texture as the model is still a work in progress.

A model of a plant creature called an uproot. It has three flat tipped leaves at the top of its head in the shape of a mohawk. ITs head has different layers that separate as it gets closer to the stem. The outer layer is a pink/red coloration before fading to green as the layers go up. There is a loose piece on the outer layer hanging off the top left of the uproots head, almost like a loose tuft of hair. The uproot has large black round eyes on the front of its face. Overall, the head is shaped like an onion, and has a white long torso that is covered by an asymmetrical poncho. The poncho covers the entirety of the left arm and only covers the upper half of the right arm. The root limbs are slender and long, with a bit of dirt at the ends where the hands and feet are.

This beetle like creature (named the rolling skraggle) was intended to act as another antagonistic force to the skritters. I plan to redesign it because I ended up referencing beetles too heavily when coming up with the design. The next design will be closer to the skritter's anatomy.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

A new member of the uproot creatures that I had previously uploaded. This model and rig is actually available to download for free on my blendkit account.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Here are some human models that I have made. Admittedly they are actually the first rigged humans that I have ever made. I have older human/humanoid models, but their proportions were off and I did not know how to rig at the time.

010

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The stilting sneer had a redesign, as there were limitations to what I could do with the older model's anatomy. I also attempted to recreate an image that I had made previously, though I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, so it is kind of stuck in a work in progress state.

020

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I made a new material for the skritters and their herder Aster. I also redesigned the skritter herding horn as I found the old design wasn't very functional when posing.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Once again I have completely neglected to post anything in a while, so I am just going to post everything that I have made up to this point in the replies.

I am not particularly confident in my animating skills, so this animation is really just practice to help hone my skills.

Just realized that I did not clarify which is the redesign, the left image is the new model.

Hooray, #portfolioday !! Greetings, you can call me Ragiscal. I focus mainly on creature design and create rigged 3D models in Blender.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 28/03/2024

The Stilting Sneer is fully rigged and modeled. Nearly forgot to post my progress on the creature. The little sqwaddles (the critters under the stilting sneer) are for scale.

030

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 18/03/2024

I had to make sure that the mesh was functional with the armature so I rigged it during the modeling process. This is to insure that if I messed up I wouldn't have to remodel the limbs completely from scratch.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 18/03/2024

Another WIP, name of the critter can be seen in the scene collections located at the top right. This model was made differently from the others I have created. Typically I would start the weight painting process after finishing the mesh, however the legs were made in an unusual way.

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 11/03/2024

The sniper class of these little critters. I also decided to call them sqwadles (spelling pending). Now that I am finished the sqwadle caste system I can work on other creatures. #blender #blender3d #b3d #blender3dmodeling #blendermodeling #blenderartist #creaturedesign #myart #digitalart

Some more work in progress. Finished retopology and rigging, just need to finish the textures and I should be done with this model. #blender #blender3d #b3d #blender3dmodeling #wip #creaturedesign #digitalart #myart #retopology #blenderartist #blenderwip

Ragiscal @ragiscal.bsky.social · 04/03/2024

Finally Finished with the super major. The roughness texture feels a bit off on this one so I might work on that a bit. Other than that I think I am pretty much done with this model. #blender #blender3d #b3d #blenderartist #digitalart #myart #creaturedesign #blendermodeling #blender3dmodeling
