1937 Buffalo nickel hand carved and inlaid with 24 karat gold, fine silver, and copper. Made to be used in the dungeons and dragons games to decide coin tosses

I think I first saw this creature in Doom in a former life. Nice work

So this reminded me of the security guard from Futurama, which turns out is is based on the beholder from D&D, which is referenced in the title, and I didn't know it was called the beholder.
TIL about the beholder.
Thanks, OP.

Lol, I see now that you mention it.

A fascinating creature. When facing one in D&D, each of the eye stalks has a different spell. A dangerous foe indeed! Nice piece of art.

Love that the Beholder inspired the Cacodemons in 1993 og Doom. For real this looks amazing.

How long does something this amazing take to create ? It’s gotta be magnificent playing D&D with you

As Baldurs Gate is set in the Forgotten Realms, you are correct. It is that monster.

This looks insane btw, well done!

Great work!
Looks like the D&D cartoon version of the Beholder, on S01E02 “Eye of the Beholder”.

I got mixed up with The Beholster and the monsters in the Mirror Temple from Celeste before I realized oh it's just The Beholder itself

This is amazing. You should do one with Cthulhu too, or like, a Lovecraftian series.
