Great idea!  Did you scuplt it from foam or putty/clay?  It will look great painted.

That's a really cool idea for a terrain piece.  I really like how you've weathered the rock.  Realistic looking without going overboard.  Great job.

hmmm

I like it as it is - however, if You would allow me to propose a possible improvement:
You use two kinds of rock structure
the edgy one, which could be sandstone, and the rounded one, that looks pretty similar to eroded granite. Now You could give the rounded boulders a slight touch of reddish/brownish, intensifying from top to bottom in order to simulate water runoff. then this would allude to different types of stone.

I am saying this only because Your work always looks very precise and authentic and You appear to go to the limits :)

ok, I have improved a bit more but then I have half the vegetation in place. I have thought of before, but I knew in a hurry and this kind of mishap that happens often. I'll see what I can do.

mon dieu :D

what mishap? this was only a suggestion
they are perfect and I personally would take them as they are, as anything from You - including neanderthals with solutreen spear points  ;)

I thought You were the perfectionist  ;) ;)

I try to be perfectionist, but it is not easy when you're always in a hurry  ::) ::) . and I also like to have your opinion, it helps me not to commit the same mistakes twice
