I did not do the sculpt justice, but here it is.

Cool mini, definitely like that gaping maw.
I'm not so sure I'd want to get hit by a missile with a "dog brain" AI.

Good looking mini. The maw is excellent and I think you have done a great job on the stony skin. The tentacles look a bit wonky to me, just because have always thought of them as being more like squid or octopus tentacles without the "fingers" on the end. I tend to have a problem adjusting to change, however.

the cilia were inspired by underwater tube worms. Because the strands each drain 2d8 points of strength in a system there humans range from 3 to 18, I felt they should have a look that shows off how they do it. The cilia did not come out very well, but here is a pic of the roper that shows the strand cilia a bit better.The tentacles look a bit wonky to me, just because have always thought of them as being more like squid or octopus tentacles without the "fingers" on the end.
I am glad you all like this. Oh, BTW do check out the new plastic D&D Miniature's roper, quite lovecraftian looking..

Nice work. Is that a Reaper sculpt?
Those who don't understand THAC0 (subtracting a small number from another small number) should probably not admit to it in public.

HOLY THREAD NECROMANCY! This thread is 3 years old!
Oddly enough, he is actually now involved with WotC's DDM line.
This is not a Reaper sculpt. IIRC, this is something that Peter Lee had made up and sold himself...Nice work. Is that a Reaper sculpt?

Nah, Reaper doesn't make Ropers. That particular species of stony lurker is a D&D monster, so it would be wrong for Reaper to make one.Nice work. Is that a Reaper sculpt?
Not a Reaper Roper
Not Reaper Ropers either
