Nightforest

[Darkey]

I made a little terraining since I got some spare time to kill. How is it and what could I improve? And yes, the wagon is from WoW.

**EDIT** 21/09/07

Added the new version of the image, but kept the old one as well.

**EDIT** 22/09/07

Changed unit and made the terrain a little brighter in an attempt to make it look like the moonlight is coming through the treetops.

**EDIT** 22/09/07 (2)

Tried to make a desert, need help improving it, since I do not like it how it is.

Well it looks nice, I like the atmosphere you have created for it, although I think it could use a few more doodads, rather then just grass and a couple of flowers, like a couple of rocks would look good.

And I don't really like the big rock in the background, perhaps change the rock you are using to see if you can make it look any better? But apart from those things I like it a lot, + rep!

The rays of moonlight really seem to take away from the rest of the terrain, since they're the most of what you can see.
If there is any way to make them dimmer, I would, or maybe have a single beam of moonlight with something (a flower, child, etc.) focused in the center of it.

Bob27, that isn't a rock, it's UberCloud from the Ultimate Terraining Map. D:

Donut3.5, I was thinking of adding something in the middle but I'm not really sure what. Some kind of traveler I suppose but there aren't that many models/skins that'd fit in with it in my opinion. And about the moonlight I removed the right one and put the left one a little more in the middle. Also, I'm not very found of hero glows on units when they're just in a terraining picture.

I love it except the rays of moonlight come on a little too strong, and the contrast is slightly too high to see the rest of the image, unless that's what your going for of course.

 

[Darkey]

The main focus is the wagon standing there in the night in a dark forest. Gonna update the image soon.

Very nice work! Although simple and probably easy to make, the out-come is impressive. My only problem is the Druid in the picture. His texture is too fake and gleamy. You should replace that model with a more realistic model with a good texture.

[Darkey]

I agree, Craka_J. Can't seem to find any suitable model/skin though. =/

I like the looks of this, though it is very dark and hard to see what is on the picture on my screen, from what I actually can see it looks good.

 

[donut3.5]

I like the butterflies!
Also in the background, put more trees, this seems like you're in the middle of a patch of trees as opposed to a forest

Maybe the Dryad would be good. But that may be a bit too mythological for this terrain. Perhaps use Arthas, but get a custom skin for him.

I think it's too dark, can't tell if it's good or not! =P
I guess it's pretty good from what I can see, the barrens needs work for sure. Add some cacti and bones.

 

[Craka_J]

The dark forest is much better now.

The desert is... extemely empty. Anything more you can add to it is pretty much an improvement... (Fog, hills, more tile variation, etc.)
