My Terrains

Okay, i decided to start terraining myself.
I won't be creating dozens of threads, I will just upload pictures to this thread when I make new ones.
I will be usually adding images daily. So remember to come back here from time to time.
Remember that constructive criticism is highly apriciated.

This is a result of Keiji's little competition, in thread 'The Picture'.

skillful competition. Anyway, I think it isn't that bad, but I uploaded it
here for you to decide.

"Just the moment behind the night,
While the heavens weep,
A dreadful beast set his sight,
Across fortress that is asleep."
Another picture for Keijis competition, this one turned out pretty well, and won!!!
You may notice that my images from Keiji's competition are better than the rest of these. This is because I am more motivated, rather than do some images for no specific reason.



Name: Gates of Dust
Creator: Me
Time: 25 - 35 min.
Description:
This is a part from my new map, The Blood. Yes, i know there is a black barrel in the background, but I was too lazy to fix it. Anyway, enjoy!

Very quick picture. I had completly different idea when I started
making this, but hell it failed, and this came up. Anyway, enjoy!



Name: Guardian Of The Forest
Creator: Me
Time: 25 - 39 min.
Description:
"Deep within the heart of the nature, hidden behind the vines, an empty soul of stone, quietly cries."
This is another picture for Keiji's competition, about Guardian of the Forest how is so sad for no reason. I made two versions,
hope you like them!

Your first picture isn't to bad. I thought it was a 6.5/10 in the contest...

The second picture I like alot, except I felt sad about having this huge feast, and no one comes. That would make we wanna cry.

Lol the third picture... simple but creative.

The 4th picture's fortress looks cool. But where that unit stands on the rocks looks weird, plus I just can't seem to grab on hold of the doodads. I feel like my eyes are averting that part.

For the last picture with the orcs whatever, I didn't notice the black barrel till you said it.

The cloud guitarist is really nice. I like the special effects on it!!

Thanks for your positive comments! Ill make more pictures soon!

Pretty awesome stuff here, actually.

New picture added!!!

The new one is very nice and very original. I don't think anyone's used those doodads in a terrain yet!
But I think the hedges should be tinted darker to fit the grass tiles on the ground.

Come on people, I wan't too see more comments, more opinions, more criticism!
Help me out here!

First - Good.
Second - Decent.
Third - good.
fourth - brilliant!
fift - good.
sixd - good.

HAPPY?!?!?!?

Thanks for review Keiji and all others.
I posted eight reply for the following reason:
Lot's of people came here, and only very few of them left a comment. I need more comments on my pictures to see what you like in them. And if one of them is bad I need to know why so I can improve my future ones. That's all.

liked the fortresses

I figured that everyone will like that picture best. Most of the hard work, and time has been put into it, and it is one picture that I am truly proud of.

And one pic that made you the winner of "THE PICTURE!!!"

But really it WAS and IS good

!!!New picture added!!!

i... dont like it..

I like the garden, but the models for the grass things arent to good. I never liked them, but still interesting.

The 2nd one I love, except that the *outer* doodads, surrounding the piano should be darker, and add a few broken stuff on the floor, or barely nothing at all. Whats the dead tree for?

Quiet Song is...
Simple, buy very nice.

Thanks Saber & Ninja, I know those hedges aren't very nice, but garden mazes are ususaly made with squared hedges, and those vere the only sqared - hedge models I could find. As for the dead trees, I placed them there to make the picture itself seem more "quiet" if you know what I mean. I will update version of Quiet song with broken stuff, and darker archways in next half hour.

Just Spectacing, can you point out what you don't like on my terrains, simple: "I don't like it" doesn't help me at all. Please state your opinion on what is wrong on my terrains so I can improve it. I am not making this for me to like it, I am making it for you guys to like it!

EDIT: Sorry, can't update the quiet song, forgot that I have deleted the map that terrain was made in.

The new pic is extremely good for being so simple as it is. Though I am personally not a fan of "neverending-gloomy-scene" terrain, though I havnt seen many of them before <.<
I can see that this is nice wether I personally dont like the theme or not

My rate:
Eyecandy: 9/10 (not many units)
Detail: 9/10
Originality: 9/10 (piano and church were good)
Fitting: 4/10 (this terrain to be used in some mission)
Comment: your terrains are a bit too magical. They wouldn't fit any warcraft mission, but only cinematics.

That's how I rate.

Thanks for all positive comments Keiji!

Thanks for review kkots, but yeah, most of my terrains are "magical", but that is exactly how I wanted it to be, I never tough for them to fit in a playable map, I wan't to give each and every one of them a story, that everyone can read their own way.

New Picture Added!
