made some realm gates to go along with my Lizardmen enjoy critiques appreciated

Lovely. The green has a nice eldritch glow to it.

It's well done. I will say that I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more moss, just to really give it an overgrown look, but that's me.

cool. i think the stone could benefit from a couple of lighter shades drybrushed over it, and a camo green lightly stippled on to give a mossy effect.

U did a good job. If I buy some Realmgate I will add some plants too.

thank for the feedback everyone!!

I did a little bit of highlighting but looking now its not obvious unless you almost touching it so ill go back and make it more pronounced thanks!! also i gave a few stones a light wash of greenshade to give it aged not sure if thats what you mean for more mossy appearance

yeah man it really brings out the aged and old look i was going for drop a pic f it here when you finish!!

i always find stone looks better drybrushed rather than highlighted in most cases, as it looks a lot more natural. what i mean about the moss is if you take a sort of camo green, i use lustrian undergrowth from GW which is also a texture paint... water it down depending how thick you want your moss, and use a battered old brush to stipple it over the stone.

ahh ok so what i did was similar to that but without texture paints which would make it better i just took Castellan green and Elysian green and very lightly dry brushed some spots and corners to give a more aged and mossy look to some spots, i also took typhus corrosion and made dry water spots where i thought water would collect/drain both the following are circled in red

and i put some more moss on it as well..this is probably all the moss id put on there just for travelings sake.

yeah man you can see the difference! some more advice if you ever do any more stone things, is once youve got your base stone colour, and a light wash on it, then hit it with glazes of random colours...blues, yellows, reds. it sounds crazy, but once you apply another wash, then put your drybrushes and moss effects on, it really gives a depth and sense of realism to your stone.

Well done sir!

She's a BEAUT!

Love this so much! For me I would like to see a solid bit of plastic cover the whole gap... So it looks 'force-fieldy'... If that makes any sense .

im using this in a AoS campaign and whenever they find a realm gate to a new realm i have paper form fitted for a few of the realms that i tape to the back so it looks like you are looking into the other realm through the fire

It looks very nice. Green "energy" is great!

Looking very good!

Looks excellent, didn't mention it before but the weathering is very nice.
