Hey Guys! Here is a Beholder that I've been working on, I chose not to make it with all of the extra eyes because of personal preference. But I think it still turned out ok.

And here is a picture of it in play.

I've documented this creature from start to finish for those who are interested and those pictures can be found at this link:

looks like it is happy !
either of finally having someone to talk to, either because it smoked too much or is it because its thinking of its next meal.
whatever the case, its one happy beholder !

looks real nice.

I don't miss the other eye stalks, it's an impressive obstacle for the PCs to overcome as it is.

I think the only way it can be improved is to have smaller versions that surround it on separate stands.

Not sure how I missed this... Fantastic work! I think you could make a two-part mold of it, and mass produce them for sale... Very nice take on the classic monster. I agree: the eye stalks are cool, but modeling them is a pain. I made one out of Sculpey, a decade ago, with multiple eye stalks -- they did not last very long before they broke off...

You know, it might be a hoot to have a Craft War competition on making Beholders. I started some a few years ago, but I've never finished them. Mine are more comical, than serious. I'd enter them just to, hopefully, make someone smile, or laugh. Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!
