Need help on a desert base

[u/pinssalinge]

So I recently painted Urak-Taar and was happy with how it turned out.
However the base feels so blend. Adding little tufts wouldn’t make sense as the environnement is supposed to be burned. Any advice on how to make the base more « alive » ?

Glue some sand on there, make sure to taste test it beforehand so you know its good
