not just enemies...
i LOVE them and i even love it more to play a mind-flayer wiz. or mystic theurge (what im playing at the moment)
think about that +8 racial bonus to inti 2...

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "when the Savage Species book came out I loved the idea to play one, still would. but those Level adjustments are just insane."

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "hey thanks. was begginning to think no one liked this pic much."

I've always wanted to play a mind-flayer character, but no DM would let me *sigh*

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "no one does usually. and now with the 3rd.5E with the ecl levels n ratial adjustments no one will ever.. unless they had a lvl 20 campaign and then maybe u could come in with a lvl1 mindflayer =p which would suck."

It's Kuchuloo!!! Or Cthulhu, it all depends on if you read the Hackmaster comic or not, but sweet drawing anyway, I like the tone.

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "can u say *Cthulhu* ?? don't remeber how was it written on the side of the corebook for the RPG.glad u liked it"

An excellent drawing, I like the facial expression, it definitely reflects the evil and cunning of the mindflayer.

I second the opinion that it looks a little short and wide though. I suppose the stereotypical mindflayer is tall and willowy, so that it may look down upon it's thralls in a superior manner.

But hey it's all about perception =) and how you perceive your fantasy monsters... and this is definitely an awesome depiction of the beast.

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "might be that hes a little more torwards squared proportions sine most of the rest of the characters i draw are more muscular.... thanks."

Man love ur work, havent seen the whole gallery yet but loving the way they come close to whats in my mind, i gotta see ur stuff on the starcraft business, dont make me beg ....Cause i will

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "thanks. and as for Starcraft related thingies. i have done some pieces for a friend of mine. but i owe her so many apologies now i wouldn't finish. might post them someday as fanart."

Icky mind-flayers. Though there was a running joke in one game we had. Do you suppose ilithid meat could be sold for high underdark market-prices as a sort of calamari-like meat with similar novelty to puffer-fish?

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "Lol yeah lots of jokes like that come up during RP sessions."

If you play with gestalt rules where you can pick two classes, then you can do one class in mind flayer and the other in a traditional class, such as wizard or sorcerer.

:-) Tsune D. Orozco Toda replies: "I´ve always liked to play by the book. with minor "summoning of obscure rules" and thus. the savage species handbook was a great breakthrough in the variety of things i would like to play. yet. I´m still in love with Orcs n Ogres."

The mind flayer is well shaded and its left hand definitely gives an evil feel to the drawing. Good work!
