I think the ship for the first pic looks good but the terrain ... maybe u should use more waterfalls doodad ... like put them in between the spaces where there are no water fill up the blanks and take away the trees and make the river wider !!! the second 1 looks ok jus put mre trees .. the third one you should add maybe a few of those nasty walking fishes HAHA ... but the terrain rox ... the 4th one ... im speechless kinda messed up ... the 5th one i couldnt c ... anyway tis is jus what i think ... x) YOu will improve after time =DD

Not bad, but needs lots of work. You need to set a fog for all of them. Go to Scenario - Map Options. Than check off Use Terrain Fog. Change it to the color you want, and play with the Z start and Z end to get the perfect one.

Screen 1: You need to fix that waterfall up a lot. Make sure all the waterfall doodads are facing the right way. You have them going off at weird angles. Add rocks in amongst it the waterfalls. Use shrubs and other vegetation as well. You tile variation could use some work as well. The trees are ugly, I suggest importing some.

Screen 2: You have decent tile variation, but you can still do much better. Add grassy dirt in between the grass and the dirt, just in spots. Also have the dirt go onto the path sometimes, that path is too clean and prefect looking. Never take screens at the edge of the map if you can help it, it just looks bad. A better sky might also be needed, depends on the fog you use.

Screen 3: Best of them all. The fire looks a tad ugly, the black under it doesn't look all that great. I suggest changing the variation of the river rushes to 3 not 4. The 4th is those ugly cattails. Use the actual cattail doodad, it looks much better. Tile variation look good here, but still could be better. You need to blend it more.

Screen 4: I suggest removing this all together. The cliffs are ugly, and you just threw down plants at random. This is overall a poor terrain. Some are even floating.

Screen 5: Pretty good. I don't the like colors of the buildings, and it's fairly empty, but your use of corn of wheat doodads is good. The road is too perfect again. I suggest putting dirt and grassy dirt overlapping bits of the road.

Overall you need a fog, you need to work on tile variation (I glad to see you did a bit though!) you need to remove that ugly one. Your use of plant doodads is good though, could use more and better placing though.

I will try to fix the first ones. Thanks for your critics.
Now here is something new.

 

[Naze]

Look, I'm not a fan of the blue fire because.... it... hmm..... I've never seen blue fire in the nature... you understood. There is too glowy things there, and it doesn't looks good.

Oh, and I liked the buildings on the floating rocks!

You have to train more about terrainning. But it is good... Do never stop training!

I like the buildings on the floating rocks. Looks cool. The rest of the terrain is messy and needs improvement. All other terrains have awkward tile variations too.

If you make the three units small I think it will improve your terrain a lot. Make them size .40 or so.

 

[Oziris]

I like the buildings on the rocks it is cool.The rest is a litle bit of emty and the blue fire suck!

[TheDivineBoss]

Must improve dude, looks kinda empty and some bits are a bit unreal. :O

 

[The_wand_mirror]

5. do not use lordearon tilesets for terraining

What? Use cityscape then?

 

[Nudl9]

Nonononno, cityscapy is horrible incase ur not making a city terrain ofc...
Ashenvale and village is best!

 

[Gilles]

Mixes are usually the best for tilesets.

 

[seruk]

The first ones looks like shit, however the new one is looking kind of good. The thing that ruins it is the big blackness of nothing in front of Illidan.
