1st terrain - small island in the middle of nowhere

Well, this is my first try.. could look a bit crappy but whatever ^^

//Edit: Here my 2nd try - Starfall Bay
Don't mind the purple cube - forgot to disable it -.-

Even though it's not good technially. I like it Reminds me of those early days of wc3 modding

Looks well um weird and pretty plain and the portal doesn't really fit in

Looks empty but it's quite a good start for a newbie.

The first one isn't so great, but I still like it, like operator, reminds me of what you'd do when you want to create some epic map for me
The second one is a great improvement. It looks very nice. Only plainly see able bad thing is the cube

The second one is much better then the 1st one. Yes, those starfall models looks pretty nice...

Well, as you already have some terraining skills, I'll suggest you these things:

1) If you're going to use something in mass (as you did with the flowers, in the 2nd terrain), never show space between the doodads. I mean, next time you'll make a terrain like that, place the flowers (or shrubs, whatever you want) closer. It is going to look cooler!
2) Don't use cliffs!! Repeat with me > DO NOT USE CLIFFS! No! Never! Try to do this instead of placing those cliffs (it will look a lot better)
3) Don't give up, keep terraining! Practice, and you'll be earning lots of reputation in a short time!

Have you checked out other peoples terrain? Studying others can help a lot. I recommend someone like frsotwhisper or Belgarath, for starting out. Later when your a little more advanced check out Tassadoom, MadseN, Void (his new stuff), and Correx.

2-P is another good one. He uses doodads so well.
