So I've been mucking about with the Crayola Air-Dry Clay again. Coated with Elmer's glue and painted, the final product is similar to resin. And it smells a whole lot better while you're working with it. I used a small rock to created the stony texture.
Fractals are nifty. This particular bit of terrain is probably reaching the limits of my current armature technique, if you can count a pile of wet paper towels as an armature. Wrapping the paper around something rigid might still keep the clay from cracking.
The beetles are from the first Reaper Bones kickstarter. The spiders from the same set are a lot better. I tried to base the paint scheme on this little cutie:
