Genuinely loved this. The creativity was astounding!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍😊

[@ciaranmcguinness8900]

They're so versatile when it comes to colour schemes, because each one of them is unique you actually cannot wrongly paint a Beholder, you can have them green or brown or pink or even the same colour as Sully from Monsters.Inc the colour scheme possibilities are endless

[@DevsDice]

I totally agree! That's why I bought a couple of these so I will paint a couple more as time goes!

[@The_Sharktocrab]

Beholders are fun

[@TimeIsMine93]

I don't know what I like more the eyes, the mouth, the teeth, the base. Just a fantastic job all around

[@DevsDice]

Cheers! Yeah I am happy with this Beholder for now! I might want to revisit it at some point to add more highlights on the scales and such on the body, what do you think? Thanks for commenting! :)

[@Ishpeck]

@21:59 , those gums look gloriously diseased. Fantastic work.

[@DevsDice]

Haha! Thank you very much! :D

[@TheSasquatchjones]

You've just made me rethink the way I paint minis

[@DevsDice]

Oh! This is very interesting! Care to elaborate? 👍😃

[@notc1485]

This is truly a masterpiece of an eye tyrant. Your painting skills are legendary.

[@DevsDice]

Wow! Thank you so much! Not sure about that but I'll take it! Thanks again! 💙

[@ianbowler3031]

Beautiful work, this is the 3rd video I've watched on how to paint a Behloder but this has got to be my favourite.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Ian for saying so! Yeah I do have a second Beholder and I might paint that one up with all of the magical effects and whatnot! Thanks again!

[@gutsyt123]

@@DevsDice Also getting some serious Eye of Sauron vibes with this beholders eye. Funnily, my favorite detail might be how the gums turned out, they look so good.

[@jeffmiller3162]

That looks very good. I definitely dig the blue, and it was a good color call for the eye too. Well done.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Jeff! Yeah this one is one of my better "older" paint schemes! 👍🤣

[@ModelsEverywhere]

Found the beholder video :) Another cracking tutorial and looks superb when finished.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks! Yeah the next one might involve the optional lens and spell effects! :D

[@johnedgar7956]

This was awesome!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much again John! This one was very fun to paint! 👍😊

[@cornholiomcnugget2052]

Huge fan of this series.... It's even got me started on my own box of shame.... Thou iam still adding to it 😂

[@DevsDice]

Hah! I know that phenomonom! I constantly adding as well so it's our own endless battle! Glad that the series inspired you cause that was the main point! Thank you soo much for sharing this! 🤘♥

[@benoit7935]

Superbe Beholder !!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly!

[@mortarchofthenecropolis]

Awesome looking final product!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you! I have one more on my list! I figured I would do this one with the "spell effects"! :)

[@erikortman]

Awesome work Leif, makes we want to attack my own boxes of shame :)

[@DevsDice]

Do it man! You have everything to win and nothing to lose! Also, Merry X-mas to you buddy! 🤘

[@Fissi0nChips]

I found if you score the bottom of the fig and the top of the base the super glue holds considerably better

[@DevsDice]

Yeah very true! :)

[@Balin93]

Happy New Year to you, too! I'm sure 2020 will be AWESOME! ;)

[@DevsDice]

Hahahaha! Yeah thanks Michael! How wrong one could be right? 🤔

[@jiml9856]

I like how you did this. I'm off to paint mine 😊

[@DevsDice]

Thank you kindly Jim L! Good luck and have fun! 👍😊

[@RyanHipp]

Great job on this one!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! :D

[@williamporter7596]

That is a very nasty looking Beholder, I like the addition of victim's skulls on the base.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks William! Yeah I liked it as well, it was simple but effective! Thanks for commenting! 🤘

[@TheMmapirate]

Awesome channel!! The only thing I think would be cool is laying out what paint colors you use for the model in the beginning of the videos!!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Jeremy! That's an awesome idea! That being said, I rarely plan things out that much! 😂

[@johnharvath5278]

The creative spirit of the Vikings shines through you big time on this one! The Allfather would be proud!!🤘🤘🤘

[@DevsDice]

Haha thank you John! Yeah think I am going to paint another Beholder soon btw! :D

[@johnharvath5278]

@@DevsDice if you have one laying around? LoL

[@DevsDice]

@@johnharvath5278 Haha yeah I do, both this one and also the Zombie Beholder which I think can be fun to paint! :)

[@Adro-sp]

About the hue problem with the camera, it's the white balance, you need to adjust the color temperature a few degrees warmer

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Adrian! 👍😃

[@ForrTheXP]

He looks so scary and so gorgeous 😍 I can't wait to do one of my own!

[@DevsDice]

Thanks man! Yeah I am still happy with the result on that one! Just got the Zombie Beholder so I might be painting that one up soon! ;) Thanks for the nice comment and have a good one! Awesome channel name btw! 🤘

[@ForrTheXP]

@@DevsDice Thank you! I really need to get back into doing videos. I just don't know if the market is already oversaturated enough. I'd love to do minis but I have only painted like 13 minis so my skills on that are a little lacking to be entertaining and there are a thousand D&D advice channels xD You did an amazing job! On this beholder. Can't wait to see a zombie version. Maybe it's the same beholder but after the adventures killed it and a lich reanimated it ;)

[@DevsDice]

@@ForrTheXP Honestly, yes it's oversaturated, but I would not let that stop you. I do videos cause I like to do videos :) Every time I inspire, influence of help someone with either painting or running an adventure - it makes all of the work so worth it! I am far from being an expert in making videos but drop me a mail if you have any questions or such - I am more than happy to help! :) The Zombie Beholder is a seperate model entirely actually, it was just released by Wizkids in their wave 11 I think.

[@ForrTheXP]

@@DevsDice I guess I just need to figure out what niche I wanna hit. Where can I contact you? I have a few questions and ideas I'd like to run by you! Oh I know it's a separate mini I was just thinking of a continuation story xD

[@luffy8878]

Can you do a devil next? Idk if you have any of them in your box of shame but that would be awesome. Keep up the good work, love your paint jobs!

[@DevsDice]

I will have a look into the boxes. Just any Devil from the D&D mythology or? Thanks for commenting!

[@luffy8878]

@@DevsDice If you have a pit fiend or horned devil, that would be sick. If not than any infernal being.

[@DevsDice]

@@luffy8878 Thank you so much for saying so! I try to keep it snappy and I think I have come a long way since the first episode and I will try to improve as I go forwards! :)

[@BluecollarJoe369]

This was absolutely awesome. I'm starting out myself and am kinda intimidated by the beholder figure I got as a present. Any tips???

[@DevsDice]

Hi! Sorry I for some reason didn't get a notification on your comment, I usually reply sooner than this! First off, thanks for the nice comment! Well, when painting minis, they can scare you but try to break it down into smaller pieces in your head is what I would do. Also, remember that it's only paint and if you go on thin, you can easily re-paint 3-4 times without loosing details.

[@BluecollarJoe369]

@@DevsDice 😁😁😁 Ok. This is a start for me. Appreciate the advice!!

[@DevsDice]

No problem! Good luck and remember - have fun!

[@mr.tostinos198]

What paint did you use for the bones on each side of his head

[@DevsDice]

Not sure to be honest, I rewatched the video and I do mix several paints so whatever looks good! 👍😅

[@willeyeam1241]

What brand of glue do you use? I’ve used a super glue that doesn’t always work the first time, and I’ve had to re-glue several times to get parts to hold properly.

[@DevsDice]

So I have had incident where that happened when I first dealt with Reaper Bones minis. I think more than the glue that it was the fact that there might have been some release agent on the miniature. But to answer your question: the super glues I have had success with are: Loctite super glue, Gorilla super glue and Army Painters superglue! Hope that helps! Thanks for commenting! 🤘

[@willeyeam1241]

Devs & Dice I’ll give those a try, thanks. The final product was great! Wow the mouth looks like it’s full of salvia and the tongue even looks wet. Great job!

[@DevsDice]

Cool! If it doesn't work then we will figure something out cause it should! :) Thanks! Yeah I am really happy with the mouth, teeth and eye(s)! I do find that using matt varnish and then going in with gloss varnish makes a mini come to life! Thanks for commenting! 🤘

[@BeastGuyver]

Sorry I don't know much about mini's, is that the standard 28 mm scale?

[@DevsDice]

Well yes kind of, it in the same scale but this miniature is considered "large" in D&D rules! Hope that helps BeastGuyver! 👍😊

[@RL-bo4vg]

What colors did you use?

[@DevsDice]

I honestly do not remember but mostly army painter and vallejo paints! 👍😊

[@ashez2ashes]

There was a lens in there? I guess I already lost mine...

[@DevsDice]

Yeap but I seem to remember that it was quite well hidden being all transparent and such in the blister pack! :(

[@gutsyt123]

How much time did you spend painting this miniature?

[@DevsDice]

I think it might have taken all in all like two evenings or so? About 2 hour-sessions each evening? Not counting drying time of course :D

[@77MRVIC]

Amazing 😍

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much BATTLEREADY! Glad you like it! 👍🙂
