[Mini Contest] The Picture.

[sadvisor]

Here's my wip (progress: @ 60% )

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Ehh, selection circle. Also those rocks don't fit the terrains theme very well - barrens rocks don't look too good on what appears to be the Village Summer tileset

 

[Dr. House]

more tile variation and the villagers look like thay are randomly placed.

 

[Chaos.]

WIP it.

Shadow Serpents


Still needs alot of work on the smaller details. And hopefully I'll be able to add in an epic sky.

 

[Celaquil]

Is that water reflection photoshopped or not? If not I would very much like to see some proofs of it.

lol?
Where's the constructive critism and/or nice comment? Don't be so mean by immediatelly thinking bad that he faked the reflection.
Not cool!

 

[Chaos.]

lol, nope it's not photoshoped. It is made with a crap load of those bright orange lava crack things.

close up.

I am the judge of this contest, so I wont give any criticism to any users, that would only be biased. And I was simply asking if it was photoshoped, and if it wasn't then I wanted him to prove that it wasn't.

 

[Archipelago]

Great idea with the lava cracks chaos. (they are lava cracks right? )

I really wanted to make this terrain but since I lost the map I wont. I might start all over again but probobly not.

 

[Insincerity]

I like that lava crack thing you did, but the sun looks like Jupiter.

...and the dragon things ruin the otherwise awesome environment.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I think the shadow things look pretty cool in a collusus sort of way - maybe remove the eye glow and make them like statues or dormant.

The sun will look better with an improved sky (hopefully)

The dragons are my favorite part of the terrain. No way I'm getting rid of them. lol

 

[Archipelago]

I started a new one 1st WIP

 

[Dr. House]

the dragon things are nice but i dont like the eyes thay ruin it.

 

[Archipelago]

Another WIP

 

[M0rbid]

That's great, I like it :-D
well done!!
I'm looking forward seeing the final version!

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

When it comes to these contests, you have to love portals

Indeed

edit: notice the rain coming from the forest

 

[Restor]

Ill join. I finally passed my exams, so I have 4 weeks holiday.


The very critical point is the single pillar at the stairway, and most of the terrains dont have smooth usage of that pillar. It is just there with no purpose. So I guess, it must be part of something bigger, it can be part of ruins, but it can also be pillar which holds the roof. And becouse it is from moria doodads, it must be something in that theme.

 

[Archipelago]

New WIP

 

[Restor]

it is too cartoonish, and pillars are there only becouse they MUST be there, with no connection to rest of the picture.

I am not completely sertain if this is meant as a small complaint or as a notion, I am going to presume it is a complaint, since I dont see a reason for posting such a long text about a simple observation.

The very point of this contest is the challange of having something preset to work with, to be creative with what you already have.

And I have to agree with Restor on the portal picture Archipelago. Not saying it isnt allowed, just saying that it might, just MIGHT affect your score on how well you use the preset doodads.

 

[Restor]

It was just statement that pillars should be used as the part of the pic, not used only becouse they are already there.

 

[Archipelago]

Done - Here's my entry!

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Hmmm 7 days left, probably should start rushing to finish this now

 

[Lexandritte]

Today's 23rd, deadline's tomorrow.

 

[M0rbid]

My final submission:

Avalon, the holy island, that once sunk into the deep ocean, pulled up to the surface of the sea again. Only a few ruins now remain of this magic island but still the fire of the old magic is alive and fog covers the island in a dusty coat, to hide it from the exploration of unworthy humans. Only a few humans will ever take a look on the woods and hills of avalon and on the mystic ruins on it.


My final submission: Did't find another fire for it, so it has to stay.
Worked a little on the sund by adding clouds to get a more foggy look, edited the fog itself, to get a sharp look next to the camera.

 

[Celaquil]

yes, it should be added, though, that I do accept it if people want to make their final entires tomorrow as well, but not passed that.

What should be added?
The map? I already deleted it

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I think I'm done. Here's my submission

Sunken Wonder

 

[Just_Spectating]

You need put bubbles

also the blue should be a bit darker,
its too vibrant at the moment, looks like chemical water

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

k guess I'll change it up a little bit - thats not my final

 

[M0rbid]

So - do I have to post the map with my final entry.
This could might put me into some trouble, I only have the map from the first screenshot, because after the changes, I took the screenshot first and in the moment I wanted to save the map, it stuck....:-(

 

[CoBrA b]

Final Submission

Yeah, I know it's the same as the first one, but I couldn't think of anything to change and would have been too lazy to do so if I had.

Good luck to everyone.

The Temple of Azoren

 

[Archipelago]

You need the map? :O Here it is just in case...

 

[Celaquil]

No, I do not need it.

Dont know why everyone is posting it >.>

 

[Just_Spectating]

so you can review and make sure they didn't cheat or something

 

[Chaos.]

Well unless I can find some free time later today, then this is mah final. I know that it could use some more touch-ups and detail but that'll have to do. It's not perfect but I like it. Hope that you guys do to.

SHADOW SERPENTS

 

[Oziris]

Chaos. That's Excellent!

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well I'm running out of time so here's my final - added some bubbles and tinted the fog a little bit

Here's the bubble model so it's publicly available

Looks like floating smileys!

lol, well not the desired effect but now that you point that out they do

 

[Just_Spectating]

i was thinking more of small bubbles everwhere, but its your terrain
nice work.

Thanks, I think the large bubbles fit it better. Either way I would have to edit the bubble model so they trial up.

 

[Archipelago]

25th now, am I the only one who is excited about the results?

 

[Sephalo]

I'm not excited.
I just noticed 1 person will judge it, and usually that means it's more a matter of the taste of 1 person instead of multiple. Would've been better to have 2-3 judges or a poll.

You're right about that. But I'm still excited

 

[Celaquil]

I'll get the results up in a day or two.

Be patient.
