I do use backgrounds!

[frostwhisper]

I do, I do, I do D=!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Tits?

Where?

Oh Frost, you liar.

 

[FamousPker49]

I can see that their is in fact a line of trees where they stop, rather than continuing on into the mountains, or fading off. GTFO

 

[frostwhisper]

Close hills and distant hills. Close hills have trees. Distant trees don't. Tits.

 

[FamousPker49]

Distant hills*

And you just agreed. Background= distance = no trees= no background.

GTFO

 

[frostwhisper]

Big white mountains spanning for miles and miles not background? ;(

 

[Squiggy]

Needs more tits :/

 

[~Void~]

The mountains are WAY huge, spiky, and well... ugly. It's a good start for backgrounds, lol.

 

[SILLYbear]

trees dont have snow on them

 

[frostwhisper]

The idea was to have 'em huge and spiky. Though they did turn out kind of fugly. Damn, I feel like a noob again >.<

 

[Gilles]

I think it's beautiful. Except a few of those mountains.

 

[~Void~]

Oh, well, the terrain is good I agree. But the background is still meh.

Hmm... I also think the hills are too round. And the bit in the midground (that little ridge there) could be pushed up a LOT towards the front, so you can just barely see over it into the foggy valley beyond. That would be like an epic 5 star background right there.

 

[frostwhisper]

Tew late, I think I deleted the map...

 

[Just_Spectating]

Gtfo

 

[Belgarath]

You think THATS a background? Yeah, gtfo lol. You need actual detailed backgrounds.

 

[frostwhisper]

EDIT: Alright, I updated it, check ye firste post.

 

[2-P]

Why are large parts of the mountains in the background teal? That looks awful. oO
Stick to to the grey/blue.

The trees in the background are too large. Usually it looks better if you leave every mountain blank or cover them all with trees... you have some kind of "I don't really know what to do - in between" thing. =P


But hey, who needs backgrounds anyway? Just spam fog, saves you a lot of work. =D

 

[frostwhisper]

Ahh... yeah, I might have screwed the fog's tint a bit so it goes to teal...

 

[Oziris]

If u want to see a detail back ground look at this!That is Madmens work and i think that this is the best background ever made.

You probably live in Africa.

Trees have snow on them. Unless someone has touched the tree.

 

[Gilles]

I agree with 2-P, I'd work on the trees. Perhaps make the distant ones smaller, and lower the tree line. That way the far ones look like snowy mountain peaks. If you get what I mean.

 

[frostwhisper]

I caught your drift guys, however I've deleted the map this time for real. I'm just gonna have to let this baby sleep.

 

[Belgarath]

Aw. You were just getting to learn how to make a proper background
The trees look like a spot of vomit on a white sheet (IM JUST POINTING OUT THE CONTRAST NOT SAYING THEYRE UGLY) very contrasty. I think that time if you left the hills blank, it'd have been better - yes, Im contradicting myself. Backgrouns don't necessarily have to be uber detailed

 

[Naze]

Well, everyone is criticizing it but I think that's a pretty cool/detailed background.The front part wasn't that cool, but... whatever, he obviously drove his focus on the background.

The mountains are weird, but that's just a colour matter, the way he used the height tool is really cool.

BTW, the "semi-background" trees are weird (as pointed before).

But it is a very cool terrain anyway.

 

[Belgarath]

Well yeah, I'm being harder than usual on the background because of the title of the thread.

 

[Naze]

I think he titled the thread like that in reply to my insistence.

 

[Belgarath]

Oh. Well, I think he focused on the background here more

Don't worry though frosty, I'm making another tutorial, about backgrounds!

 

[Oziris]

[Belgarath]

Madsen's ones are sometimes a bit too detailed background and less detailed foreground. As far as I can pull the pictures out of my head.

ot: Oziris, what does a cave tutorial have to do with it...?

 

[Oziris]

It doesn't i like posting my tutorials ^^
