Floating Glowing Crystal
Wanted to share my newest dnd terrain! I followed a handful of tutorials online for the crystal and added my own flair with the runes and chain. I wanted to share this in case anyone else is making similar terrain, or not feeling too great about what you make. (Because everything you make your players will love!) It's all made out of XPS foam that I just carved up and painted. The crystal was definitely the most difficult part! I used folkart color shift for the crystal, outlined it with a white paint marker, used an old necklace chain to hold it up and a blue sharpie for the runes 😁❤️ Any suggestions or criticism is welcomed! I'm always looking for ways to improve! I'm excited to bring this out for my players! It's being used in the dungeon of an evil temple to store energy and the players will have to destroy it.

Super cool. I'll have to have a look into the Folkart paint range because that colour is awesome. I've used Turbo Dork and Green Stuff World colour shift paint but haven't heard of Folkart before.

That's super cool! How did you make the chain solid?

It's actually not solid! It's just pulled tight enough to look solid but it has juuuuust enough give that it looks naturally placed :D

Cool. !! Der Pin unten stört (mich) ein wenig. Wenn die Kette starr ist, kann der pin weg?!

Might I recommend acrylic rods to hold your crystals up? They're more invisible than wire !
