A bit of work in progress. I've had to stop till the glue dries on the main components as it's sliding around too much. It needs some carving work and some clay work to get the shape right before it's plastered. It's still pretty large despite me only wanting a smallish tree.

Having a look at your picture again mate, that looks, sorta like a body in that tree! :o

What about sculpting bodies into the tree? That’d be creepy/chaos-y type thing! A tree made of bodies!

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that in real life but it's a good idea. I tried something similar in clay last night but it looked pretty rubbish. I think it needs someone of your skills rather than mine.

A bit more work in progress, fleshing out the branch structure, shaping, and carving out the top of the tree, which I'm doing as a rotten or lightning damaged section.

Thanks. It's pretty much done now, just the undercoat to do tomorrow once the gloop has dried.

The undercoated shot will be the last one. I now need to decide on what colour to paint it and on foliage. As much as it's a chaos tree I don't want to paint it colours that would stop me using it in a Sleepy Hollow or Dracula type game.

The top section has been finished in a 'no more nails' type adhesive in an attempt to give it a different texture to the main tree. It may not be noticeable after painting, but I'm intending on having that as a damaged section.

Undercoated so done as far as new photos are concerned.

Still not decided on colour though. Any suggestions?

Cool  8)

I like the unintentional (?) fade to black at the top.

Colour wise, how about a sickly yellow/brown?

The black on top is totally intentional. I'm using your suggestion of a lightning strike so the top and inside will be fire blackened. I'll try a yellow brown and see what it looks like. It's not the right shape for a silvery white birch.
