Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 05/10/18 Twisted Tower P.S. progress

After four months of staring at it, I decided how I will go with The Twisted Tower Photo Stage. I added a bas-relief foliage topping to what will be a background of painted tree trucks similar to The Spooky Woods.






...until whenever.

 :o Oooh! I waited long to see the Twisted Tower again, it is my favorite!
Please, take your time until you finish it, every bit you add, makes it better and better!
I feel one more masterpiece of yours is coming out!
Cheers!

All that blank space around the tower & the trees had me baffled for months. Then I just did a variation on what worked with the Spooky Woods stage.
The original idea was one that was inspired by Ana Polanscak's Garden of Hecate.
I have a few balls in the air right now; SO the stage will be coming along slowly, but coming along nonetheless.
Thanks for the kind reply & ongoing support, Dinos. It is appreciated.

One thing though is see if you can add a little looser or less flat foliage to those areas (maybe temporarily, just to see how it looks - you could always lay the stage flat to do this without glue of any sort), because they look a hair too homogeneous right now.

Thanks for the reply, Fram. I was going for a bas-relief effect. I did the more two dimensional effect on purpose.

The Nightmare Cap Mushrooms are now done sans their bases.
This is the Fellow with the multiple personalities:




This one reminds  me of Lyndon "That Bare Foot Boy who has become your King" Johnson. That is enough to bring on nightmares for my generation:


AND a group shot with some backup Nightmare Caps:


...more whenever.

Thanks, Fram I am glad you like the Guys...one piece multiple Guys. Color makes the minis.
To add insult to injury when I move down to Texas from Long Island I found the house is in the curve of Pecan Creek which feeds Lake LBJ. I just can get away from the man.

I love the one with two faces.
That backdrop looks amazing already. I can't wait to see it with more paint on. Any idea how many of these little shrooms you've created?

Thanks for the kind reply, beefcake. I am glad you like the stuff. I will be working on the stage along with more Mushrooms, the Faerie Tavern, & some minis on a rotation plan...or some such thing.

This one was quite far along last night. I wrapped him up early this morning:

Thanks, Paul. I am delighted you like her/him/whatever. There is something crazy-old-ladyish about it...could be the prissy, Hillary smile.

AND, for those of you who like group photos, here are a couple state of the Mushroom Box photos:

Thanks, Paul. There is something about the Group Pics that brings home the full scope of NUTS!.
