May i suggest you have more then 1 screen-shot if your going to make a terrain showcase...

 

[Dark Master]

Yes, I know. I`m making another one.

 

[HFR]

I really have to say, they aren't so good. You need more details, tile variation, doodads, good lightning and a decent sky.

 

[Dr. House]

The second screen is boring and maybe the first one more variation

 

[Wheepodee]

They would look fine for a playable map, but they are not that special if they are for sole purpose of terraining. And as a sidenote, don't use that "..." after sentences that much.

I added one more pic.

Since you asked so nicely, I'm now going to review your terrains:

Pic 1:

- Its fairly nice. I dont really like the choice of camera angle nor do I carry any love for those tree models, though. Some rocks over your .. Pond? Is flaoting, and please. Have some more variety in tree models. (at least two types)

Pic 2:

- Ah the O so light arch terrain, we've all done that sometime or the other, havnt we? Anyways, it is too flat and seems to lack doodads, it just doesnt interest, at all.

Pic 3:

- As with Pic 2, there is nothing really that draws any interest. You should make your terrains with something centered, like a lake, mountain, ruin, castle or something resembling the mentioned. I like the fog though

Pic 4:

- HIGH RES HAX PACK! Me no more comment!
No, really You've used the high res models good, but some more variation in trees are ALWAYS welcome. And again, when was it last you saw a green forest with blue fog, or when was last you saw a blue fog at all? Think realism my friend, realism.
Also, in this terrain the fog is too dense, and the terrain stops where the fog starts, seeming like the fog is swallowing the terrain, not good.

 

[Dr. House]

I like the 4the one but it needs more tile variation i think. Anyway the 5the one is kinda boring. but looks ok to me.

 

[Dark Master]

4th is from Hi-Res Doodad pack, and tiles are overwritten with awful ones. That`s why I didn`t use other tiles.

 

[Dr. House]

ok anyway darkmaster you should listen to keiji his tips it really helps. It helped me 2

 

[Wolfhelm]

The last 2 pics are aight, looks like you improved scince the first few. They definatly need some hight variation the ground looks far too smooth in every screen.

Also where is the sky? Everything ends in the background with heavy fog, try changing the sky box and using clouds and sun/stars.

 

[Dark Master]

I added one more pic.

 

[CloudWolf]

heey, the one with the inn is very stylish It has a good "night time" feel to it.

I also like the snow one, as the height variation makes it look like its in a mountain or something

One suggestion I could make is to have far more tile variation on the floor

 

[Dark Master]

Added pic.
For me, this is EPIC.

 

[Dr. House]

My thing is barrens i love barrens and barrens is just so barrens like barrens is my thingy anyway Your barrens needs more tile variation also use som shrubs. (and change the color of the shrubs when you use them) Anyway you can clearly see that you have inproved your terrain skills.

 

[Dark Master]

I uploaded pic!
Wow, Lordaeron!

[Dark Master]

I present to you....Snowy Castle!

 

[Celaquil]

I find it ironic that the grass are growing up from the snow tiles, while the dirt tiles are without any life >.> Magical snow?

 

[Dark Master]

*bump*

 

[Dr. House]

1: Your flying city needs a better sky and there is to much white. 2: how much time do you spend on your terrain 10min? (dont wana be anoying but it looks like you spend 10minutes on evry terrain)
3: i see inprovement but i would say spend more time and look things over a couple of times

 

[Dark Master]

Bump.

 

[FrIkY]

They all look a bit empty and have close up camera, which I'm bot a fan of. But some of them are nice! ^^

 

[Dark Master]

Bump.

 

[Wolfhelm]

Yes you need to spend more time crafting your terrains - not just placing a few doodads here and there and saying that looks good.

If your gonna make terrain-art you should be a lil more devoted to a single map insted of trying to pump out as much crap as you can.

These terrain are not horrible i think you have potential - just need to spend more time on one piece.
