The Mind Flayer

Illithids, also known as Mind Flayers, are iconic D&D monsters that I wanted to represent for this challenge, not just because I love both D&D and Lego, but because I wanted to challenge myself with a difficult design.

Aberrations feared across the multiverse, the illithids are among my favorite enemies you can face in D&D, and while other monsters may be more 'quintessentially' D&D in style like a beholder, mimic, or dragon, the design of the illithid with it's squid-like face and menacing stare will always make it my favorite.

I made a large scale bust for the challenge of including naturalistic curves and the iconic high collar - it took a while to get it how I wanted but I'm very proud of the results!
