Ahm... yeah. He can be topped any day of the week ;)

Especially with a piece such as this. Though I don't like that there is only one rock tile (perhaps it would look better with two or more). Otherwise it's sexy.

OSHIT!
Nice work - how long did it take to finish that one?

Gilles: Do you really need to sensor swearing? We all know what the word is, there's no difference.

Orly? You haven't seen mine yet :D

Naze · 10-12-2008, 06:39 PM

I took 8 hours to do that.

Holy fuck that's a long time. It doesn't look that complex to me D:

BTW, elveswood trees are ugly. :P

No effing way.

What, about the trees? :|

Their texture is disgusting, and the model is so messy. The trunk is terrible and the leaves stick out in all the wrong directions. It's because blizzard made them and someone got them from a campaign screen.

Actually, they look pretty good depending on how you use them.

And I took 8 hours (around 4 hours in one day, and 4 in the next), because I changed much things since the start of the terrain. For example, the center was supposed to have water, and when I finished it I had the idea of putting trees there. Then I started to play with the lightning and etc, always looking at Void's entry for the Terrain Contest #3 (I took the background and doodad placement ideas from there).

Yes, that was time consuming. But I think I've spent a lot of time on MSN/forums, too =P

Ah, and I hate to say it to you, but your mountains in the background look like shit :(

Mountains don't look like this: /\ /\ /\ /\ /\

If you want cliffy mountains do something like this:

epic cliffy of epicness

It looks sexier as a spiral stair, IMO =P

What do you mean? The image didn't helped :/

So you think that the mountains at mine terrains are wrong? (example 1\example 2) I'm confused :/

No, just this one. The two examples you gave are perfect :D

All you need to do is go around those sharp pointy peaks (around halfway up them) with raise on a 3 brush. Just a tiny bit, to make them look more jagged on the sides and less on the top.
