The Eye of Sungard

There is an eye, could you see it?

Give me some comments so that I can better my skill

The place seems familiar from a story but I'm not talking about your work.

You could adjust the eye because it can't be seen clearly from the screenshots. The surrounding places are beautiful and you did great.

The eye you see is not the real eye. But you're right, I didn't notice that

 

[Wasabee]

It looks an orb more than an eye.

That is the model of Eye of Sargeras in war3, but in my terrain, it's not the only eye. I mean there is another eye

 

[Wasabee]

Ohh you didn't mentioned about that.

Shit, that's a crisp image quality. Tell me, you didn't use
Photoshop manipulation to make it like that, did you?
- Because that's a sin.

Aside from the very neat image quality, this terrain kind of takes
me back to the old days of terraining, it has that old-school edge
to it. And there really isn't a whole lot to pick at here, except one
thing, and that is the clear spots with only tiles. The Ashenvale tiles
don't look too good merely on their own, I'd advice you grabbed a
hold of some grass doodad and covered some of it up, and maybe
throw in a couple rocks or something to vary.

Save for that, I like it. Even the Blizzard rocks, which I normally don't
like, doesn't look too much out of place. Keep terraining, mate, I can see
some good potential here ^^ Maybe next time you should try focusing on
a wider vista and practice some lighting and sky techniques, there's some
good tutorials for it over at this thread.

I have a confusion to make. Yes, I did you photoshop a little bit, to adjust the light 'cause I had no idea to make it a little "fantasy" with war3 fog. Hope it won't the removed because I used photoshop.

But I'm always eager to learn. Thank for your comment, I'll try my best not to use pts again in my next terrains. This is the start, I still keep leaning.

Oh, and one more thing. This is what's it looks like from above - The real Eye of Sungard

Hope it won't the removed because I used photoshop.

It won't be removed, but you're going to have to work hard to regain my
respect. For learning more about how to make terrains pretty, without
Photoshop, I think you should look at some of the tutorials I mentioned.

What's with the transparent trees?

The top view makes it so much more interesting. How about reducing your camera angle to around 320-345 instead of ~355 as you have it?

@~Void~: What do you mean "what's with the transparent trees"?
About the camera, I'll see to it.

@Keiji: I promise I won't let you down again. Wait for my next terrain.
