Artist's Comments

This is a several month old sketch, I dug it out Friday in the middle of Sakura Con and figured, "dude, I'm bored..... I gotta shade this thing". Sure enough, about 3pm saturday it was finished. I'd say it turned out fairly well, but in the end I'll let you all decide.

It was quite promotional too, people came back to see if I'd finished it :). Felt that was cool.

So yeah, for those who don't know: Beholders are eye creatures, and quite nasty in the D&D games. Many a character have perished to the eye tyrants. I imagine many players have thrown dice at poor DM's for such events as well (go ahead and guess how I know this....). I may paint over it some day, I imagine it'd make a dandy print.

Keep an eye on *Metryx the good sir should have a colored version up relatively soon, considering how much he loves defiling my images ;)

And for the record? This was created using a 0.5 mechanical pencil, and a smidgen of 2H graphite. Not much though.

Thank you kindly, there's a few really awesome ones around that certainly put mine to shame, but sometimes they can be damn hard to find.

Beholders in the Neverwinter Nights series are a joke. I walk up to it with my scythe weapon master and crit kill it in one hit.

I even destroyed the Beholder Boss in 3 hits!

And yes, it has everything to do with your drawing >:D

How could Neverwinter Nights do that?! They're fantastically fun in the actual table top game. How sad!

I think it's because my scythe weaponmaster was a bit more leet than a typical character. With the feets all pumped up, the specific weapon (being a scythe), and the crazy enchancements you could get at the Drow rebellion camp, the whole game was pretty simple. Have you ever played any of the games?

:lmao: It's amazing what fruit boredom can bear us sometimes. :XD:

It turned out very well, as usual. :) The beautiful smoke which you could make thinly against the detailed shading work, the eye... ok, I'll stop at the eye before I go on a tirade describing how much I like it. :rofl: I have a thing for monster eyes and drool.

Though, he should be more careful not to stare at the sword that way. :ninja: He might get stabbed in the eye. :O_o:

Whoo! Nice encounter! Nice work. ^^ I like the character.
