Lava bases

[Gareth]

When I have done things like that is the past, I tend to create a cork rock for the model to stand on, paint the rock, then do a pool if lava surrounding the rock. If you put a layer of filler or now it's available liquid green stuff on, you can create ripples in the lava.

However the more I look at yours, the more I think it looks less like a natural Lava flow,but more like Fire Runes in the ground. People could copy Robs idea, but use glowing green/blue for a similar effect.
