I made the base from milliput and tin foil balls a while ago. Just as an exercise in just making a base, I tend to get excited about the mini and leave the base to dead last. Not a great habit for composition.

Then I painted the storm knight imagining him on this base standing above it all, whipped by storms but unfazed as he is one with the storm.

I saw Ben Komet's version, all smooth looking and decided that I was just going to mess around with brushstrokes to show the swirl of the storm. Of course Van Gogh was an influence.

Painted back in 2017.
