High Ground

High Ground was my first diorama, and was created for Resin Beast. I really wanted to create a snow scene, and these figures felt like the perfect excuse. My goal was to keep things tight and focused, using a small composition and intentional color to really direct the viewer. This project was a lot of "firsts": first time adding color to snow, first time doing digital "kitbashing" for the rocks, first time making an irregular plinth edge, and first time experimenting with light texture/environmental bounce lights! Ultimately it was a great learning experience, and super fun. It really has informed my compositional choices on projects I've undertaken since completing this.

High Ground received a Gold trophy in the Diorama category at Resin Beast 2024.
