My first (a bit) serious attempt to make terrain art.

[Grave_Digger_]

So here it is! My first serious attempt to make terrain art! There are 3 pictures, they are at the same spot but in different angles. I was going to use some critters on the seafloor but something went wrong with the importing so i just skipped that.

Please don't be to hard on me, I'm a begginer! But still say what you think

Could use some sand/sunken ruins dirt tiles..

Its to unoriginal. It doesn't feature anything special. You hit the fog pretty good, though.

lower your coral! and use tile variation, there are rocks underwater, and a lots more plant life then technocolor coral

 

[bounty hunter2]

It is unoriginal as said before. It lacks some sand, maybe some rocks, a underwater cave would be cool, or anything like that. Dunno a naga temple.

I tried to do what you told me to do and this is the result, take a look

 

[~Void~]

Needless to say, it's been done before. But it doesn't look bad, I guess. More tile variation would be nice, and perhaps more interesting placement of doodads. Try to cover up more of the ground, especially with rocks and such. Don't forget that the ocean floor is rarely flat and is mostly jagged.

lower thins again, in the third pic i can see the rock on the left floating, unless you live in monty python land, rocks dont float in water. its looking better, i say look at water pictures, under water, there anrt gaitn peaces of coral, make them smallther and add lots of tiny rocks, rockf erode and weather in water, plus there arnt large hills of sand under water, make the hills and raies land rocks or just makes them doodad rocks, i mean small banks can be sand, but the constatn current under water makes it impossible fora sand dund to exsist. its getting better.

2 things i don't understand yet... What is tile variation and what do you mean with "jagged".

Ok, I'll lower the rock on pic 3 and try to make less hills

If it's not good enough now I will just stop with this...

Tile variation is using more than one or two ground tiles. I recommend at least 4 or 5.

By "jagged" I mean stack rocks to make rock formations and such and try not to let the ground show so much.

 

[thegreatsmite]

just one more thing, you do realize your shark is bigger then the boat?

 

[Grave_Digger_]

I've added a little more tile variation now (A LITTLE) and i made the shark smaller so that it's not bigger then the ship. I personaly don't think that it looks as good as it did before when i made the shark smaller... But tell me what you think...

I just wanted to say th... DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPAM STUFF! Ahh, better. Seriously, and tint the shrubs so they get more dark teal than green. Also, zoom = bad cause of crappy textures.

 

[thegreatsmite]

I ... DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPAM STUFF! Ahh, better.

somthing tells me hes doent need to be told not to spam stuff...

i should of am de myself clear, i was hoping you would of kept the shark that size and made the boat bigger this way you can have a major object for people to focus on
