Needed an easy project to keep me motivated, so I figured why not an experiment; Close up In terrain for scale The 'rocks' are plaster shavings of various sizes glued to drawing paper with a washer underneath. They are then preshaded which doesn't seem to show very much though the paint even though I the layers I applied were thinned to the point of losing cohesion. On one of them I experimented with adding in layers of red and blue before a final grey - you can only really tell if if up close which you wont usually be. I though about adding in some grass but this way they fit more settings like dungeons or as a bove to mark where bits of the roof have caved in in an old church ruin. In person the markers are quite a bit darker then shown here but my phone crushes the blacks if I don't over expose slightly ( about 1 1/3 stops ) I may just break out the camera for some proper shots later. What do you think, any suggestions on improving them?

That's odd. I know I replied to this thread earlier today but I don't see my response.
I think they look great. I like the fact that you used brown as the base color as they look good in dungeons and can be used just as easily in ruins or on a hillside for an outside andventure as well.

It looks pretty good, you might not want to use the layer of paper if you do more because it looks like it peeled up while you were painting it along some edges and markers like that tend to get a decent amount of use & abuse during play. It's not that fun when something that you use often comes apart on you

I'm not sure what ruleset you are using for difficult terrain. It looks very wobbly if a mini where to stand on the marker. But maybe they are meant to block the square completely, in wich case that is a non-issue.
They look great either way!

I just read up on 5e seems the "can't stop on difficult terrain" I something I've made up so I'll have to work around that. thanks for pointing it out.
