Yeah well somtimes you get the hight of things messed up like in The mining town picture Arthas is about twice as tall as the building he is standing next to. Or in SactuaryBlue1 the ship in background looks like it should be twice as large. Theres more but you get the point. Anyways i like your style though and i got respect for playable terrain. +Rep

"Black" just kind of happened as I was testing a map and I thought it looked pretty cool. :\
Desert is indeed playable.
Which is also my biggest problem I think. Even though I open my WE knowing what I am about to make will only be to look at when I'm done, I still absentmindedly make everything playable. Until I get over this I don't think I can make any really awesome terrains. At least it seems that way to me.

The zombie field one was when I really started to mess around with lighting. :D
But I don't know if I will terrain just for show anymore. I have found it more enjoyable to make playable terrains for others. And I was never really good at non-playable terrains anyways. :D

Liked them All!
Since you're terraining for Sanity's Edge, I thought I should have a look...
Very nice!
Since the terrain is playable in me and Flat's Campaign, (unless some random cutscene show stuff), you should do fine.
You should make an album on Where's Waldo. Some of the comments left me searching for small details I missed easily.

Nice (Although some pictures were low detail) I like it very much.

If you didnt know. Making a showcase with a link in it will more than likely keep people from commenting, from not going through the trouble of hitting that link and henceforth look at them and judge them for then to make a comment.

People like me.

Your current major flaw which appears in most of your terrains is the space between objects you place. For example, you make blotches of detail around the map, rather than terraining larger pieces of the terrain or making the entire terrain quite detailed. For example, in one of your terrains you have rocks, some trees, and a couple other environmental doodads placed by it, but then that's it and around it is detail-less.

Sorry about it being rather vague. I was in a rush when I was posting.

Basically you have too many open spaces in your terrains that, to me, stand out a lot. By details, I mean making use of environmental doodads such as shrubs, rocks, and bushes. Gilles and Belgarath have some nice examples, especially their jungle/forest terrains.

Oh yeah I know, that's what I've been saying.
Even if I tell myself this terrain is not meant to be playable I still subconsciously make it playable anyways.
I can take any of those terrains I have made and easily use it in a map. It's a habit that will be hard to break, but I'll get around to it eventually.
