Thanks everybody, terrain has always been my strong point. The (entire) base is made from card and hot glue. Hot glue guns are basically 3-d printers if you use the right PERSPECTIVE. Look at it like one, and all of a sudden it is. Really has made my week to get such positive feedback. What do people think of ther lighting>? it's a bit intense but it's meant to represent "sunset" hour (in film terms "6 o clock ish") absolutely zero airbrushes or fancy techniques.
thanks so much for everyone kind words, it has made my week. expect a write up of the piece on my blog tonight including the non airbrush lighting and coloring and the building of the waterfall from scratch using hot glue.
Love this community, such beautiful positivity
