A City worth fighting for?
12 Oct 20: Another resurrection
Another step in getting stuff on the table for Frostgrave. This, too, was a resurrection of an old project. This was an older version of the modular dungeon tiles inspired an old game.
The tiles were left in various states of completion as seen above: Done; done with foam risers attached (which was the original plan, later ditched); crafted but raw; crafted and primed.
The very first version of these I had made were recycled from an old corkboard. Later they were cut from foamboard: easier to draw cracks/ designs/ magic circles in.
I decided I could bring these back as roads/ courtyards/ squares for Frostgrave. But looking at them again, the finished tiles seemed now to want more work done, more texture. I wasn’t satisfied with the raw edges where I could still see cardboard showing, and where it jutted out.
I mixed a batch of sand, PVA and water. No set mix, just until it felt right and slathered it on. I used paddle-pop sticks and brushes to get it in and around. When dry, I repainted using craft paint.
Basically done.
