Entry for the terrain competition, although I'm probably going to make a new one.

Looks very good, but the water is a bit weird. it seems to end just like that. how about a bit of a shore?

Don't like that middle island. I think it's the shrubs.

Yes, Gilles is right. The shrubs are too vivid. They need to be tinted.

And just shrubs on an island isn't interesting 0.o

You should give it something interesting to look at on the island like a rocky outcrop and a sandy mini-beach thing.

I may have no say in critquing terrain work but I like the feeling of the overgrowth on the island nature isnt 100% intreasting at times. At first I made the mistake of seeing the canopy like trees to be mountains and wondered why the mountains were so see-through and leafy. The only thing I did not enjoy was the sky around the distant mountain it almost looks like light coming off the mountain instead of clouds. Other then my failure to see trees great job

Of course you have a say. Everyone has 100% say here, if you want to state your opinion, feel free. =)

Anyways, another comment is that the landscape behind the lake reminds me of Japan. A lot.

The mountain on the back was the best. What is with the transparent trees by the way? The middle island could use something more natural, yeah.
7/10 on this one.

The trees are so see through since they have very flimsy leaves... I think.

Wow, very nice Belgarath. This may be one of your best works. My biggest problem is the water though. On the bottom left, you notice how its scaled really large and kind of messes with the quality of the terrain. Another flaw is behind the foresty area is pure whiteness... add something interesting behind it!

Overall though, its very good and the forests are very well vegetated and the doodads are well placed. +REP

If you look closely, you can see shorelines that are too straight and there's quite a lot of other flaws too. But I actually like it better than the other entry.
