I really enjoyed watching the clip some good ideas. I do have a question what colors and how did you paint the sludge? I'll be needing to make some eventually and I'd like to hear how you made the sludge.

Obviously dm Scotty can answer pretty accurately when he gets around to it, but I figured I'd give it some conjecture.
Looks like he started with a black base coat (Which is normal for most tiles anyways)over a tile with hot glue ridges to represent the swirls, then used a light brown shade as the basis for the sludge. After that it looks like he used a one or two different shades of green to blend in to the brown (using the same method he demonstrates for making water effects)...I'd say a forest green and probably a light green. He *MAY* have highlighted the ridges with a cream or white color (Cream would be the better option given that it's sludge and it's not supposed to be clean), but it's hard to tell if those are highlights with paint or the reflection off of the water base coating he used to give it a slime sort of appearance.
So that's my theory. Naturally, move the paint aound in a circular motion to create the swirl effect (I'd recomend finding two or three different start points around the center, and spiral in towards the center, or vice versa away from the center towards your points. That will give it a nice swirl effect).

I almost always start with a base coat of black. I put the brown down fairly wet and then add some yucky shade of green and blend it a bit with the brown (not evenly, you still want areas of brown and green). The highlights were simply the water base gloss varnish I use. With things like water I tend to add a third color as a highlight.
