Legendary Terrains

Hopefully this thread can be a good example thread for all of those newcomers to terraining, of what they should aim for, look up to, and work to become as far as a terrainer.

So just post terrains here that you think are worthy of being called a legendary terrain, for one reason or another, but only works of others, that you think are worthy of being called legendary

Well, MadseN's terrains are quite legendary... but I doubt that newcommers would have any help from them:P.

I'll look up some pics of legendary terrains now.

And for the arrangement, let's first post a crapload of good terrains here, and then one of us ordens them in a thread and we request a sticky;)

Speechless! +3 Rep to Void

Hmm I don't think all of MadseN's terrains are legendary. Maybe they were in their times but now that I look back at them, I can see many flaws. But one of his that definitely should be mentioned is his Frozen Throne picture, that's just pure awesomeness and as far as I know, original (for terrains at least).

Alright, I agree, lets just look at all terrain showcases, and other terrain pics that come to mind, and try to find the best of the best like, some for great lighting, (why I picked yours off the bat void), good environment, contruction with doodads, creativity, and any other categories you can think of...

So lets see some pics!

I'd say anyone of MadseN's could fit in here. I don't think you can find enough flaws to degrade them.

One or two should be picked only though. Maybe a couple of Voids, and I know Belgarath has a couple pretty l33t ones. Tassadoom for sure. [Death]. Gehjis (spelling?) has a bunch. 2-P, Correx, and Bur. There are some older terrainers that could be added, can't remember names.

That lighting is actually sorta fuxd up since it stops suddenly.\
uuhhh sec lemme get some of corexx's.

and collection link. Pick some if you want:
Belgarath's Terrain Collection
I think my best area is high-res and that in specific depressed / gloomy ones.
Oh and as for non-custom doodads:

I think it's fair enough to say that I win that :P

Mesa like these
Death is the road to Awe

Those don't count too much as terrains ... rather as ... artworks. Terrains have to have some type of landscape with it - hence the name terrains.

Nah. Terrains aren't "terrains" as much as "terrain editor art". Of course some of them actually do have terrain, it's really anything made in the editor with doodads/tiles.

Anyways some suggestions are bur's northrend outpost, just for pure originality of using the rock doodad to make a brick (common now but not then) and definitely tassadoom's moss monster for originality too, the rest of his are great but again, nothing that hasn't really been done before. Corexx's robot of course and 2-P's planet.

Those are good ideas, I will try to add the screens to the first post later today. Link to tassadoms moss monster?

It's at WC3Campaigns art gallery. It's pretty recent so it should be in the first few pages.

@belgarath: How many times must I go over this... it's the top of a hill not the light stopping.

I know what it ACTUALLY is, but I was pointing out how it looks like.

I thought it would be a sticky thread with links to the terrains at the first post, not this mess.

It would be much easier to someone new to find the cool terrains in a neat thread, with all of them linked at the first post. And it would be good to do not be closed, to allow the people to suggest new terrains to the post.
