Finally, my spelunking diorama is finished.

I am quite happy with the OSL, even though it was a struggle at times and obviously there is always room for improvement.

The miniatures are two converted Reapermini Bones Miniatures using Statuesque Miniatures heads and weapon swaps from the bitz box. The top level miniature was converted from 77049 Arthrand Nightblade, Elf Ranger and the character in the cave from 77387 Lanell, Female Rogue.

The base is entirely scratch built, only the fern is an awesome photo etch kit by Chichkovshop and the foliage by MiniNatur.

The initial lighting sketch was applied by airbrush, using violet, orange and turquoise. I then went back in by brush and added more contrast with yellows, greens and blues.

I don't think anyone tried to depict fireflies so far, at least to my knowledge. They are made of paper and Greenstuff.

So, how do you like my second OSL attempt? What could I improve with the next one, which parts do you like best?

Amazing. Are we sure that we can trust the guy at the top?
He looks quietly sinister.

Thank you all. Glad you like it. And yes, are they friends or is someone preparing to cut the rope when a hungry troll appears?

The guy at the bottom (the spelunker) has a sword in hand, so he must be expecting trouble. Nice work.
