Morikun Challenge: Making an artistic base

From some time, I have been avoiding basing my minis and resorted to clear base tricks. The beauty of clear base is to be consistent with the terrain all the time.

Now, crazy people lurk in the Internet. Morikun is one of those. He's made crazy bases for his minis, and asked people to do the same to celebrate his 600k blog reads.
Here is a sample of how crazy he goes to make a base.

Punk Mode: From Morikun's blog, without any authorization what's so ever. Yes, it's a base for an Alien queen

Another unauthorized use of his blog's photo

Now, he has 78 gifts to share (and this blog is one of the humble donor, but I assure that this is not a pay-to-play donation) and getting into a challenge is a good change as my painting mojo seemed in vacations these past weeks.

As this is all about stealing photo, let's do it. From Gobbo's blog

Adding additional planks.

Adding a genestealer hand and a katana, I painted it to look like precious wood and not some cheap ikea dojo

the mon of the Mori clan. As it stands, it looks more like a smiley than a serious stuff. I will redo it,

In situation, the work in progress look like:

The mon looks like Wilson...
