How to convert or sculpt a miniature? How to make a decent base or even a full diorama?!

ahoj,
here are some pictures from my latest project. I want to create a showcase diorama for my general
Work is still in progress. I am going to put update pictures here.

The idea is that Grimgor will be on top of the hill. In front there will be river(with a dead body and without the head
).
My next step is to add roots for the tree, and cover everything with sand.
Feel free to comment my progress.
Maybe you have got any suggestions what could I add to make the diorama more interesting?

correct!
I have bought a whole bottle and set it free in a carton to dry. Than I could cut it normally.

Don't you think the miniature is somehow lost in the diorama?

Could be, but maybe when the piece is filled more it'll work out.

hello again,
here is an update of my diorama. I`ve covered everything with sand to make the texture more interesting.

The head which is beeing hold by Grimgor already has a neck, but the body on the ground looks a bit stupid
I don`t know if I`m seeing it correctly, but the isn`t it a bit unbalanced? I have now idea at the moment what could I add to right side of the dio.
Is the miniature still lost? I haven`t noticed it, so I`m asking you.
Feel free to share your coments and criticism!!!

agree with mahon, this is too big
prefer a small base more detailed than a big one where he mini lost inside
the base is there to give an atmosphear to the mini but the mini should be the eye catching thing of the whole painting and none the oposite
may be try on a 50*50 base
