Looks good Karl! If I may suggest, try not to have your subject too parallel to the edge of the base. Skewed off at a angle (even slight) adds so much more to your presentation.

Ciao Tigeriv,
You could also sprinkle some rocks on it before you paint it (or after). Breaks up the smoothness of the clay.
Ciao for now
