Scourage of Lordaeron

Terrain using all in game doodads and models. The scourage brought dark times. Feedback always appreciated.

It has no background really, and it doesn't feel epic like I'd imagine the ruins of Lordaeron to be. Maybe you should take the screenshot from a higher perspective, add a fog and some nice mountains or a fade effect in the background. Or both.

Yeah, seems a little small with no depth. Maybe add some dead trees and definetly some sort of colossal thing(s) (Dalaran spires, mountains as Void suggested etc.) in the back ground and add a fog, it looks like you don't have one at the moment.

I like it but I would add some fog and make the picture bigger, I like the vampires flying in the air they are cool.

Your problem here is that the focus on an object is taken away or being hided by the ruins in front.
Possible focus objects here could be the abomination or the church.
A little tip add some stone gargoyles on the top of the church, it would look kinda cool

Look at my post in model forum. I asked about stone form gargs. And I want to add them on the church, couldn't figure out how.

Focus is not on abom. The abom and church aid in keeping the focus on the ruins and the picture as a whole. I would recommend reading about focal points and focus points in some drawing text for a more further explanation.

But more importantly, consider looking at the doodads, the placement, the usage.

So far no suggestions have really touched what I was looking for. And I don't know that untill something really groundbreaking is said.

Thank you.Fog can be added, but does fog exist in ruins? I'll try rain. Rain seems more fitting for this type of terrain.

No, fog will do the trick. Also, make the picture a bit more interesting, maybe a few dead trees... For now it looks like a discarded blizzard-made scenery. I know that sounds cruel but it's just my humble opinion. I'd give it 3/10
