Eyegore, Blender Bracket

Eyegore, the last of his kin, an escaped prisoner from the dust mines of Vue. He seeks revenge. An eye for an eye.
This guy was my contribution to @simpsominiatures Blender Bracket last year, in which 40-odd contenders gathered in the far-off land of Usa. The loser of each one on one bout was blended in front of a live YouTube audience with only 1 fighter left in one piece at the end.

I fdm printed a 2-part hollow sphere for the eye and filled it with glycerine and red food colouring so he'd be nice an bloody in his inevitable blending. He didn't disappoint, winning 0 fights and being immediately eviscerated.
Poor poor, Eyegore. Pulled from the archives, here is the defeat of Eyegore lain bare.

The bafflement and disgust of @simpsominiatures puzzling over the blended, glycine-filled remains of Eyegore is very funny. Big thanks to him for organising and videoing the whole Blender Bracket. It gathered a big swell of participants, all of us excited to take part and see our fighters blended. It was a huge amount of work and effort and a lot of fun to take part in.
It was also an icebreaker for the disparate Australian community when @hollowbodies__13 organised to combine postage and send all our entities together.
I should make some of Eyegore's brothers, I loved the simple silhouette and painting the eye.
