A little bit of progress, getting the basic shape of things in place. I'm not entirely satisfied with the shape of the pool but I suppose it can be amended with some tricks later. I am making a small cave on the opposite side I am placing the tree on a sufficient height above the pool.





The tree is glued to a wood block which is in turn glued to the base. I pinned them all together with a 10 cm screw. I have not decided whether to carve the foam into rock formations , use bark or pile pieces of slate on the thing.
The pink XPS foam is just bulk material so far

I want the pool to be dead calm I am going to glue a a piece of sheet plastic on the bottom of the plywood base.

The outer edges of the base are sanded to a flat angle to make it blend into the game board more smoothly. The edge around the pool is more rounded.

Before creating branches and foilage I realize I better get the carved face in place. There are a few glimpses of what these could look like in the TV series...



Looks alright, but I'd like to see if I can make something even more ethnic looking. I have scoured the internet for various wooden mask to get some inspiration (I may resize the images later)










African masks are always cool but they may communicate a southern vibe which may not bee ssuitable for the Children of the Woods who carved these masks.




Burmese buddha. Very clean  but perhaps a bit too polished.




Cherokee. I like the rawness.



Eskimo ceremonial.  Very clean, simple and effective design.




Green man. A tree on a tree may be  a bit too much.




Impressionistic




Maori. Perhaps a bit too recognizable as This World iconography.




Modern, naturalistic carving if you ignore the knot. I like this one a lot.




Norse. Rather powerful. I like it a lot, I am Swedish after all...



Papau-New Guinea. Very impressionistic.




Roman.

Have you thought of going down the Ent route from Lord of Rings?....



Or even Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy?....

Groot!

Can O’Beer, my youngest, is positively infatuated with Groot so that’s certainly an option. Plus there is something soul searching in his gaze which fits well with the theme.

What's not soul searching about this one?

That soul searching gaze reminds me of you Peder  ;)

The long days staring out across the Baltic Sea...

I like both the Cherokee and the modern one with the top knot.

Green men- the last one looks a lot like Groot already. Or mix the elements you like best from each.
