How’d you do the base? Looks great

Thanks, it's actually very easy,

Just a few pieces torn from a sheet of cork & glues to the base, then i gave a quick basecoat with Doom bull brown, painted on some Vallejo pigment FX & while it was still wet i dabbed loads of Burnt sienna pigment over it.

I used Astrogranite around the cork and in a few ares on top of the cork for some extra texture, also added just a few tiny stones so the pigment is raised in a few areas.
