AJ suggested an expanding foam beholder. I had to try.
O.k. I'm taking a bit of a break on this guy, as I need to gather a bit more stuff to make his armor and a bit more paint. I figure, why wait? So here is a semi-finished beholder.

BEHOLD

I have literally hundreds of photos that I have to go through and sort, but if there is enough demand, I'll try to put up a tutorial on this guy.
He still needs some paint details, chitin armor and a stand, but I'm pretty pleased.

Any name suggestions (for the beholder, not me, I have a name)?

I love it when a plan comes together.
I didn't choose the craft life, it chose me.

Thanks all, it's been an interesting few days.

Re: The beard... I forgot to shave this morning. Kidding. Actually, it used to be bigger, but I took it down to reduce the scraggly look.

Good book idea, or a crazy module based on dwarven myths?

My fingers are itching to braid beads into your beard, sorry, can't myself! I've always loved braided beards!

The Beholder is amazing. Tutorial is a good idea.

Can't help with a name right now, too tired and my mind is all fuzzy.

DmNate, Thanks X2!
Draklith, haha, serve the kid to try and take my candy.
DungeonMistress, hmm, never had it braided.. it's pretty Irish Wirey.
WildaGreenbough, Thanks, hehe Beardy the Beholder. Now I need to get one of those fake beards for him (her?).

I'm a natural Scottish redhead (in my youth), so I am familiar with wiry Celtic hair. If you do beard your beholder - wait...that doesn't sound right. Oh, well! Anyway, if you do put a beard on him (her?), braid it with beads! I think he (she) would like that!

It's early & I haven't had my tea, yet.

That beholder is fantastic. What are you going to do with it? I make stuff all the time before I know what I'm going to do with it. That has got to be a rare item. I'll bet you could sell it for a lot of money at a game convention.
