These are very good, except there is no sky or fog, and also, Don't use Blizzard Cliffs! Use the raise tool on big size, as Blizzard Cliffs suck!

But then again, it's a playable terrain, but I'm sure you recognise the Pathing Blocker, if you use Jass Newgen with the Grimoire addon, you can easily make doodads limitless!

Ye. I dont know how your alien planets look but this looks like a fantasy world ^^ I must say screen number 1,3 and 4 are not good =/ But how the hell lol.. screen 2 is totally awesome!!! o_O reminds me of somekind of sci-fi fantasy themed game.. make of these and you get lots more rep of me :p

Oh yeah, example (That was not from when i got bored its from a project which nobody knows off -.-)

The_wand_mirror nailed it. Number two is awesome. +rep for it.

On the other hand the others are just okay. They need work. Take nudl9's advice, remove the fire. The model is poor. Maybe replace it with a custom doodad. Use the fire that buildings have when they are near death.

Not sure I like those vines. They don't suit the rest of it. The planet isn't creepy or death-like. It's just an alien planet.

Post pictures if you want critique. I for one won't DL it just to look. Others probably feel the same.
