My first Showcase Terrain

[grato]

Well, here it is. Some of you might recognize it, if not so, I will post a reference picture.

The Tree Crossing

Recommandations and Criticism welcome.

The terrain is too flat, but nice placing of the rocks and there are several tilesets!

 

[grato]

Do you mean I should use more tilesets, or do you mean that it's good that I use different tilesets, which I actually do

 

[Etzer]

I mean that it is good that you use diffrent tilesets. It looks natural and epic!

The Tree Crossing

Updated. Added some more relief to the ground.

I personally don't like it, the tiles are a bit clashing, the ground is too pointy (I'm not sure If I've explained this well, it shouldn't be even but it shouldn't look so pointy, round it out more) and the mushrooms just look odd next to the trees (along with the fact that they are going through the trees).

Also whatever that thing is in the back, which seems as it's supposed to be the subject, is too blurry - you can see it very well.

This could use a lot more work

What I'm thinking of is adding a sky first. Second redoing the ground making it smoother and not so pointy. Looks really awful at the moment. The green grass in the background could use more tiles. It would be interesting if you were to make every mushroom in the background bigger then the trees.

Well the black sky is understandable probably because that was how it was in the original picture (Idk the source of this, but the black sky seems to enhance the effect).

 

[Oziris]

Well then maybe adding some stars or even clouds. An empty black sky looks lame.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

If you could find a way to do it, an Aurora would look pretty sweet over that

 

[Oziris]

Lets not talk complex stuff. Let him do the tiles first

 

[grato]

The thing is: I am a complete noob at showcase terraining. And I don't have any idea how to add a sky.

Oziris: This might be an odd question, but which grass tiles do you mean? I don't think that there are any you could see in the screenshot.
