Blobby Cartoon Character

Paul Krassner Memorial Realist Blob

Made in Blender for Daz Studio, but .obj version included.

The model has some flexibility in pose and expression, by means of 10 versions as scene subsets, 5 face versions as texture presets, and aimable eyes.

Looks like Mr. Potatohead, or a pear with a face, but...

In real life, Realist Blob is a mascot character for an obscure magazine produced by Paul Krassner, called "The Realist", that ran from 1958 to 2001.

NOTE: I made the Realist Blob model in August of 2019, a month after Paul Krassner died. But this is just a coincidence. I had no idea Krassner had recently died until after I made the model. Regardless, I'd like the model to be a kind of memorial tribute to Krassner.

My research indicates that Realist Blob was drawn by John Francis Putnam, a staff artist with "Mad Magazine" who also contributed to "The Realist". The name "Realist Blob" is my own idea, as I don't know whether this mascot character was ever given an official name.

Thank you!

No time to play now, but I am eager to give it a go.
