weirdly enough, i made one yesterday.



I made the beard with slightly thicker braids than I would with a cd, then the same method of ridging the braids



And another angle, in hindsight i would have flattened the part behind the middle of the beard to make it look more bulky and less pressed against the ogres chest

nitro, dude. Smaller pics (they’d benefit form some cropping at least) and a focus… those are close to unviewable…

Jesus, what happened there!
Ah - photobucket clearly knows better than me what size I should set them to.
