Terraining Contest #12 - Horror/Nightmare

Not open for further replies.
Personally, I would like to see a more horror end to your terrain, as right now I just dont even slightly get the chill's from viewing the terrain. To me it's just another dark corridor in some slightly scary game or something. I'm not entirely sure how you're going to pull that off, might have a silhouette of something dreafully looking in the distance, in the shadows. Or some kind of monster thing dangling from the ceiling, or even, climbing in it, towards the camera. Be creative! :P

well...there already is a silhouette in the shadows...if you look hard enough u can see it,

but yea i agree with you,i lost the horror edge along the way,i find it very hard to make a picture to be frightening or even remotely scary,because after all its a static picture,the thing that,at least in my perception,makes a place scary is its ambient sounds and movement(and probably some creepy music)

im sorta out of ideas...but i think ill try to make i little more prominent and scarier silhouette(darn hard word to write)
aren't you going to update you're terrain?

I'd have to say that I agree, and that's partly the reason why I was against this theme in the first place, but anyways, guess it just makes it more challenging, or something...

And well, you'll get to see an update, yes. (eventually..)
 
Anyways!

To get back on topic, here's my... Well, it's yet again an entirely new idea, so I guess it would be my third point three or something WIP... >.>

This time, however, I am settled with the idea and will consider this my final idea for the contest, not final entry, though.

Anyways, that skull is a custom model General Frank made for me swiftly, using 67chrome's skin, I'll upload the model with this post for the sake of fairness.

Comments and constructive critique is most welcome.

i think you should add something in the gap between the 2 rooms to make it look more like a mirror

ain't doubting it but...flowers?i mean...aren't those flowers near the skull?
the terrain looks amazing,but its more like a place where something like a titan fell and now the land is healing
really looking forward on how this comes up,hope you don't change the terrain again:D

@kobas:it..looks..awesome!
the only thing i could say is that those skulls and pile of corpse look kinda random,try making a bit of order in there,maybe arrange them in streams of sorts..

@Error_trigger:no...its all done in the editor,i just tinted it a little darker

First contest for me at the hive! Creativity isn't my strong point, so hopefully my work will turn out to be decent.



Edit:
2nd WIP. I'm quite happy with how it's turning out so far. Eventually I might make use of unit animations, since right now all the villagers are standing and the ghouls should be doing their cannibalize thing.


Edit2:
3rd WIP (and likely the final, I'm running out of time). Still trying to stay away from tempting models around the hive. Also tried to make the city walls a little more dangerous looking.
