Dnd beholder googly eyes8/31/2023 ![]() The actors are def going to have to see out of the mouth opening. We got a pattern for the Bullywug head, printed it out, cut it out, and then taped it together to see if it was the right size for a human head and to make sure we could see out of it. tĪugust 12 We had to buy more glue so we could get the rest of the kobold skulls pieced together. We got all the horns glued together and one kobold skull. Rigel came to help.Īugust 5 We have one more kobold skull to cut out and all three of them to glue together, plus the rest of the horns.Īugust 10 All we did was glue stuff together this week. Jason glued together the greaves for Tilly,Īug 3 Cut out the rest of the Kobold Skull mask pieces for a second one, and Jason glued together the rest of Tilly's armor. July 27 cut out the horns and Tilly's armor, William was sick. We also traced out the kobold skull pattern pieces for one Kobold, but we need three. We need one pair for Ocus, Lilith, and the two succubus cheerleaders. July 20 Traced all the horn patterns onto the foam. We blew up the upper jaw pattern pieces 150% The upper jaw was too small but the lower jaw was just fine. July 13 We cut out the kobold skull pattern and sized it up to fit a human head. William and I cut the hats off the of the flying monkey masks and patched them. July 6 We cut out all the patterns and notched them. Later in the week I picked up the scissors from Ludwigs where they were sharpened, and brought up my heat gun, some more patterns, and my dremel tool. We realized we were going to need more foam so I bought round foam ropes, pool noodles, octopus fingers, and a second pair of painter's stilts. Then we spent the rest of the night cutting out patterns for two hours. We spent the next hour sorting, labeling, and putting them in envelopes as well as choosing which patterns we'd use for which character. I bought Punished Props patterns and Jason bought several sets of cosplay patterns by Kamui Cosplay. June 29 We used the fist hour just to print out all the patterns we'd collected. I pulled more things that I hadn't thought of before, like the Globolinks aliens costumes, the Ramayana demon costumes and tree costumes, the Medea masks, the Medea skirts, the Tempest Dryad unitards, We paired up gloves. Later I went back in with my husband and started labeling racks and sorting the pulled items and grouping them into monsters or playable characters. That night I ordered EVA foam and supplies to work with it. Armor, gloves, helmets, fur suits, masks, capes, belts, unitards etc. June 22 We started by pulling anything out of storage that we thought we might possibly use. In the meantime I ordered the 3 volume set of the Advanced D&D books for research, as well as downloaded a bunch of free cosplay patterns for foam armor. When we get back we've decided to meet up every Tuesday evening at 6 to work on the show. I started pulling some things out before we all went on our vacations. We discussed all the monsters in detail and how big or small they should be and where they should be a puppet or a human. Jason showed up with his research and he did some sketches too. I showed them my slides to give them an idea of where I was going. Jason, William and I met up at school and had a good catch up, post pandemic, and began talking about the show's requirements. I've already started pulling things from storage that might be useful. Mine also happened to be a lich, but that's niether here nor there.June 7: Jason, William and I are going to be building the puppets and other armor/weapon items over the summer so rehearsals can begin with those items immediately after the play is cast. The finale of my campaign had a Beholder "Hive Mother" in it. The Beholders are about the right size in comparison to the human figure. ![]() ![]() I placed an unpainted figure there for scale. ![]() Here you can see that I used homemade stands to put them on (courtesy of my husband). The mouth I grabbed from one of my many pics of Cthulhu type monsters and printed them out and glued them on. 9_9Īnywho, I corrected this shortcoming by making my own out of styrofoam balls, brown paint, pipe cleaners, googly-eyes (yes they move) and my trusty glue gun (also useful for making drool). Everyone knows there are just dozens of them running around. I was running a D&D campaign with Beholders in it, and to my surprise, Wizards of the Coast has not made any freakin' Beholder figurines! (Not that I could find, anyway.) They're only one of the most trademark monsters in the system, so why would we want to go and do something like make some figures of them - especially when we could make a fiendish gnoll warlock instead. When life gives you styrofoam balls, make Beholders (or call a doctor).
