Terraining Contest #3 - Four Seasons

[Naze]

Yes, JS.

Things change through the seasons.

 

[frostwhisper]

Way to copy my final entry style and my wendingoes \Naze lol

But a good entry nonetheless.

 

[Volvox]

And here is my final entry, completely different than the last one.

 

[Gausslander]

Oh look a house... It's not terribly impressive. And if there were clumps of grass and flowers, shouldn't the snow be higher then the grass was in the other seasons? -.-

EDIT: What I mean is, the snow is perfectly smooth. It should be higher and lower in some areas, snow does not fall like a blanket being draped over a mattress, you're making it seem as though the clumps joined together to blanket every area in a perfectly equal matter - and yet there is no snow on the roof of the house. You can do better.

Grass dies in the winter. I like how the snow goes up on the house, and is not just a change in colour.

The sky in fall is very nice.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Yes,but still more ice could be added at winter!

 

[Kwah]

Indeed. I lam Canadian, and there is more here. If you live in California though. . . there is no snow except on the mountains, even in winter.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Heres a little WIP

JS,bad move there,more herbal and natural spots!

Brick is always the same,no matter the season.

 

[Kwah]

Not true. It could be covered in snow. It will be hard to get the snow looking good though.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Just my point

 

[Gilles]

Good stuff here guys. Naze, I give you the same advice as hawking, use a different grass tile. Ashenvale grass is sexy.

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Awesome job \Naze. Not a fan of the yellow theme in the fall, i would've made it more of an orange and red. Also, the spring and winter scenes are both very well done.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Guys,give me your oppinion on a cave view on all 4 seasons!

 

[Just_Spectating]

It doesnt snow everywhere in winter.

kinda my either Winter or Fall concept.




or this.

I doubt you even bothered increasing the images, if you did, you would have seen that the snow rises over the grass and stones, according to the floor(because it is the floor), if you think you can do better, give it a shot, i dare you.

The second one deffinatley looks more 'wintery'. But there is way too much snow in a perfect flat line. make some of those bricks visible in melted patches of snow.

Here's some more WIP's. Updates on Summer and Winter and now I've gotten early progress on Spring.

 

[SeRviLy]

So far ive seen two other people besides me use that chimney with white smoke. and i just cant understand how or what chimney puts out white smoke... Im glad i made mine black =P

 

[Naze]

It's too flat... And remember that snow piles are sexy.

 

[Sabertooth]

Holy, nice work Hawk and /Naze.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Ok, i will take note.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hawk's terrain is sexy.

 

[Oziris]

Wip,wip,wip

 

[Kwah]

Hawkwing?

I like it but, the spring (?) especially looks really cartoony, and fake. Winter is AMAZING, though.

 

[Oziris]

Kawkwing i really love the spring looks awsome!

 

[Kwah]

Ooo. Oziris, its good, but it looks like the water fall is running ONTO the bridge, slightly.

 

[Firelord213]

What's the purpose of joining a terrain contest when Famous & frostwhisper joined it?
Well I'll join any ways, The more the better ^_^.

 

[Gilles]

Just_Spectating, I'm impressed with how well you're pulling that one off so far. Good luck with summer and spring.

Hawk's terrain is sexy.

Steeling my phrase? >: (

 

[frostwhisper]

Or am I?

 

[Hawkwing]

Here's a WIP of the fall. I accidently made the sun too bright, lol. I'll fix it next time I work on it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wow ,a bit Outlandish!

 

[Cham[p]ion]

It definitely has that Autumn feeling Hawk. Although the fog doesn't match the sun, as you noted. Id either tint the fog to make it slightly more colorful, or dim the sun. ('-'d)

 

[Hawkwing]

I'll do a bit of both.

 

[2-P]

I'm done!

Summer:

Hidden

Winter:

Hidden

If my eyes don't deceive me, then there's a man with a horse (or so) at the left site of the castle in the summer shot. And a Wendigo in the winter terrain.
Well, they are too large compared to the castle, so they destroy the felt scale of it.
Oh and the wall besides the Wendigo in the winter screenshot is suddenly taller. Guess you forgot to lower it after raising the terrain beneath it. =P

 

[frostwhisper]

The masta's eye can't be decieved.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wendigo's are giant beings,you know,in reality,the scaling would be good!

How'd we miss that? Huh.

Since you've posted here, and I know you're alive, can I expect a terrain (or four as the contest demands) from you? I personally would really love to see something from you, and I think you could help raise the bar a little. Although it's already been set pretty high by some of these terrains.

 

[Gausslander]

Grass dies in the winter. I like how the snow goes up on the house, and is not just a change in colour.

The sky in fall is very nice.

Yet the snow is still falling? That marks the beginning of winter. It does not continuously fall all winter, well, in most cases it does not. That and there still would be clumps of snow, the fact that it dies does not mean that it completely disappears, there is so much of it that in fact clumps of it would make a dent in the smoothness of the terrain.

 

[Gausslander]

What? That's quite an annoying and immature thing to say but whatever. It does not to a considerable degree. I did enlarge the pictures, and I saw that it was basically smooth. You need to roughen it up a bit. Snow is blocky. Not even a snow cone is that smooth. And I probably could do better, but that's besides the point. There still is no snow on the roof, explain that.

 

[Just_Spectating]

EDIT: not final entry

 

[FamousPker49]

Updating winter and summer on my previous post so it's easy for Gilles.

Update

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Just_Spectating, it's really a struggle to see what the differences are in the summer spring and fall seasons. All I can see that changes are the trees and the sky. Probably should've made a more environmental scene.

 

[Black Crown]

W.I.P Summer

Here is my current W.I.P for summer, or spring. Havent decided yet which one this is.
Can't tell if its good or not :\

 

[Just_Spectating]

Wow Famous, really cool how the house gets built.

 

[Hawkwing]

New Wipzors.

 

[Gilles]

Looking good guys, this is turning out to be another quality terrain contest!

 

[Just_Spectating]

:/ just trying to be creative.

 

[Gilles]

:/ just trying to be creative.

Perhaps you could be more creative? They really aren't all that different.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Back to the drawing board o¿O

Here is my entry.

Good luck to my self and everyone else.
