Aside from doing cards for Mt:Bloom, I've also been spending some time decorating the caves. The first one was pretty much already finished, which left me with the one in this post and one more.

| Basic Cave |
Above is the undecorated version of the cave. I've added the basics: walls, floors, water and some moss, but other than that, this area is pretty empty.

| Sketching away! |
In order to get the creative juices flowing, I simply start sketching about on a layer on top of everything, adding whatever things I feel would be cool. At this stage I don't care too much about what they will actually look like in the end, but simply add stuff randomly.

| Adding what's already been made! |
Since I've already made a bunch of props for this cave system, I reuse whatever I can in order to save time. In this case the things I reuse are mainly bushes, crystals, and mushrooms - the tiny detail stuff. The difficult part is rendering the unique items that will only appear in this cave, as well as things that haven't been made yet.
Here's a bunch of before and after shots, showing how I've taken the sketches into finished decorations:
 |
| Rocks on the water |
 |
| A stone face through which water will stream |
 |
| Some of the tiny figurines that will be found within the cave |
 |
| A relief showing a female and a rabby |
Finally, here we have the cave in its finished version, after everything's been rendered and finalized:
