As part of my Hordebloods project, this Mountain King was inspired by Warcraft's Mountain Giants.

But some basics:

- His skin was done with layers of stippling with sponges, airbrushing and weathering powders.

- Eyeliner brushes were used on his crystals.

- The rust on his chains, collar and brackets is real.

- The 2 turtles next to the log were made from naturally shed turtle scutes.

- Special effects like fire and water were made with heavy artists gel.

- He's covered in plenty of real plants, flowers and pearls.

- It took weeks to pour his base, create waves and ripples and allow it all to fully cure.
