There is a kickstarter for A Time Traveler's Guide to Dinosaur Hunting. It has an image with a mind flayer (brain gorger technically) and some mutated raptors. The artist is Sviatoslav Gerasimchuk. I decided to draw a mind flayer petting a mutated raptor.
Interesting design on the Menten. Do they grow more arms as they get older? I tried making a mind flayer with tentacle like fingers but never got a result I liked. In fact this had more failed experiments than my beholder images did.
Here is my sickly looking mind flayer.
The menten have a large amount of morphability. Given time, they can absorb or create additional limbs as needed, generally having 6-8 (4 arms and 2-4 "legs"). Their limbs don't have bones and are more akin to tentacles.
Valentine's Day Card: (Front with image) I give you my heart. (Inside) Metaphorically of course. I’m still using mine but this other guy didn’t need it.
