In this thread I would like to discuss the model for the Oculus. I do really like the idea behind the creature. In an evil god game, an Evil Eye is way more fitting as a scout than something like a Fly or Rogue. However, I was a bit disappointed when I first saw the model:
To me it looks like a beholder (from the D&D franchise) with an extra eyeball stuffed into its mouth, just plane silly. In my opinion, Beholders should stay in D&D anyway and this resembles one way too much. It should be a bit more original/creative than that. Maybe some inspiration can be drawn from the DK1 Scavenger Room, or along these lines?:
So, what do you guys think about the model and the suggestions?
