Greetings Folks! New project in the works and here are some photos of the earlier stages. Parts used: 1. Dollar Tree foam board 2. Dollar Tree hanging skeletons( come in packs) 3. Skull Rings 4. Mini plastic trophies 5. Single small marble 6. Printed various artwork for actual Portal *****Update Since Photobucket doesn't show images***** New Link imgur.com/a/zNr3kI took heavy inspiration from the WoW login screens, but added my own twist. As for color, I can maybe see some kind of dark stone with the runes glowing green. The single marble up top will act as an eye( like Sauron) or alert when some one gets close. The mini trophies will have a fire effect added using the glue and Q-Tip method. Any suggestions or changes?

I really love this piece. I can see the WoW inspiration, but it's unique enough to stand on its own - I think the idea of the marble being a watchful eye is really flavourful and cool. Simple but effective and very striking. Looking forward to seeing it painted up!

Beautiful paint job! I like it just the way it is now. Not sure where you would hang incense burners without spoiling the proportions, and you already have those effective braziers.

Thanks a lot! I've decided to scrap the burner idea, think it would distract from the over looks.
After looking at the braziers, I think I could of rigged some LEDs to make them glow.

great looking portal there for sure! and I agree 100% to leave out the incense burners. Would love to see a mini or two in the pics. I am so stealing this idea. ummmm...if that's okay.
