Temple of Apophis Photoboard by Glitterwolf

[Glitterwolf]

So for my Shifting Sands Project I would like a photobackdrop like I did for my Lost World.

Sort of a little diorama/terrain piece on its own but also a nice backdrop.

 

I'll present to you:

 

The Temple of Apophis ( or Apep) the Forbidden God.

Nobody in his right mind would worship the Suneater, or would they?

 

Start and some shuffling around with pieces to get ideas.

I already have some stuff in mind, still possible to change/add stuff.

 

Printing the Artisan Guild Snake Statues that go with that altar as we speak.

Need more of those braziers, and I will print up some Egyptian torches, maybe columns etc...

 

Now! KNEEL before Apophis!!!

I think the altar piece should be further from the big snek.

Been thinking about that, but it also needs to make room for photo-opps.

It's a set up, in the end it will work when I added the rest.

Maybe I can put it a little more back.

 

Hmm, or add a little height between the altar and the Cobra King.

I will think about this.

 

In the meanwhile printed the first statue, now curing.

FEP film succesfully replaced!

 

Statue 2 is now printing.

@TGP Is this better?

 

The big snake can't go further back due to the base.

I have this little set up now, if this is what you mean, than I will glue that extra piece in place.

Will get carved of course.

This is a major project, and it looks like it's going brilliantly!

 

What is the floor made of? Is it carved directly into some foam?

yup!

 

AK Interactive Extruded Foam.

I'm carving it with a hobby knife for the basic stone tiles

[Glitterwolf]

More carved stones.

Decided to keep the extension for the altar.

 

Mock up with one of the Artisan Guild Snake Statues,

There will be two on each side.

Yes, that was the idea. Respectful distance form the big guy, it sorta seemed like the cultists would be too close / underfoot the other way. I like this better.

Thanks for the advice!!

Scaled the snake statue down to 30% for some small ones...
