It's an eco a cappella concert for the forest, and the forest is diggin' it.

I really, really like it, and yet at the same time I am left feeling there's something
to be desired from this one. Maybe it's the overall monotony of the piece (mostly grey)
or maybe it's something else. Either way, it just doesn't feel complete, and I'm having
a hard time fingering what.

The details are sublime, my favourite being the tilted plank for the bench, such
peculiarities is sex to my eyes, and you know it.

The only things I'd like to see changed, is somehow a little more colour, and I honestly
do find it odd how darkly that unit model is tinted, standing in the spotlight like that and
all.
 
Riko Takigara steps out of the cabin feeling dejected. Her elders don't seem to notice her. She reaches out for affection, yet it is never reciprocated. In spite of all her efforts, she gets nothing more than scoffs and passing glances. Her world feels dark and meaningless. She steps forward into the flowers. A breeze passes over, and suddenly... a beam of light shines from the sky. "Perhaps this is a sign that I should try harder!", she thinks. Senpai may not have noticed her, but sun-pai did.

Man that terrain is awesome! Your atmosphere is consistently a distinguishing factor--I don't know how you make it look so good. The colors used are gorgeous, and I really like how you use lighting to emphasize the focal point (pretty tough to do in wc3!).

The environment is amazingly natural as well. You're honestly probably too good for wc3. It takes a lot of work to make a terrain that is impressive in both a wc3 context and in a general context. Do more pls.

Thanks, guys!

The effect from the animated DNC light model makes the adding of more colours a bit of a chore. Some lighting models I usually rely on don't show in the editor at all. :(

If I open it up again, I may revisit trying different light models.

Oh and the unit is tinted down because of the lacking texture quality. Believe me, you don't want that undone.

They're pretty much all included in http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/terrain-board-267/ultimate-terraining-map-4-0-a-252232/, aside from a few assets that are from XGM.guru.
