Hey man pretty cool. Cork never seems to work too well for me for some reason. I probably need something other than corks from wine bottles. Damn... we have a lot of wine. lol

cookster..lol..its pretty versitile..easy to work with..very durable very light..its basically all held together with that pumice on there..

cookster thanks ..its just alot of years practicing like anything.Myself like a few others on here DFD to name one came into painting basically in the trial, and error method where the way people traded tips was usually by seeing them in person phone calls or conventions..with the internet its alot easier now..and so much talent on cmon its really amazing and inspiring to learn to get better even for us old timers

Mick, that almost needs a bit of water effects to make a small fall/stream. Character stradling the water?

Just a first thought.

Been useing cork for years..but I flood it with ultra thin CA glue to strengthen it up so it wont break. it asorbs the CA glue like a sponge and becomes hard.

airhead i had meant it to be rubble but that is a fine idea..always liked water vignettes
