Description
My Norse wolf design on a painted runestone. I sold these badges at Anthrocon this year, but mostly I use the design for leatherwork.Related content

I like this. I like this a lot. I've been trying for forever to make a convincing stone texture with lighting and shading and everything. Can I be privy to this secret?

For stone, I usually cheat a little and use a stone texture set to overlay on top of all the other layers. But beneath that, I build up the form. Rather than smooth gradients, I stick to angular blocks of color and cracks to emphasize the... rockiness? My runestone golem on RPR is probably a better example!

Thanks for the tips! Would you ever consider making a tutorial for this?

I'll see about painting stone sometime in the future and saving WIPs! In the mean time, let me get the pic without the texture added. Maybe that will help?

This is a perfect starting place for me, thank you!
I've been looking and experimenting for a long time over stone. But I absolutely love your style with it!

Awesome! For me, rocks are totally hit or miss. Sometimes they look great, and sometimes not (like on my Heimdall badge--those rocks aren't THE WORST, but they're decidedly meh)

I agree, I need to make a smooth yet very weathered stone with a fine grain to it. So your designs so far are leaps and bounds better than anything I ever made!
