Quilboar Village/Stronghold

[Mr.Jamaka2]

I just came up with an urge to make something with quilboar so I made this! hope you like it. added some enviormental doodads

Ahh, no tga. Convert them to JPEG!!! No one is going to look at these.

 

[Craka_J]

I will not look at .tga's. Sorry!
Re-upload them as .jpg or as .jpegs

[Mr.Jamaka2]

ok i fixed these too

While the structures are nice, the terrain is incredibly bland. I like it's start and direction though!

[Mr.Jamaka2]

heh usually i go basic on my tiles but i'll add more things to it to impress

 

[Gilles]

Need environment doodads. Trees, rocks, shrubs!
One way to help a terrain like this would be to place rocks and shrubs around the buildings. Maybe an oasis outside would also look nice! Or mountains/hills so it doesn't look flat and boring.

Your other work was better.

 

[Craka_J]

Everything around the encampment is pretty much completely empty.
You lack mixture of tile-variation. I'm able to tell what is mountain/hill/flat ground, but I'd like to see more different types of dirt mixed together with dirt on roads, different types of grass mixed with other grass tiles, etc. It helps make your terrain look a lot more alive and keeps it busy. Causes the illusion that it's cluttered with variations.
So far you're decent at lifting/lowering doodads, so that I appreciate so far in your terrain.
You need a lot more environmental doodas to be placed. Perhaps place rocks on the mountains or steep hills and grass here and there. Trees would probably look good as well. Even though it's a barren environment, bringing life to the terrain is certainly necessary.

[Mr.Jamaka2]

i've been working on fixing this one with enviormental issues but i just cant seem to get what looks good to it.

 

[Gilles]

It is hard to get barrens right, keep trying though. Look at mine, IMO it's pretty good.

 

[Mr.Jamaka2]

i guess the barrens can use some "dead life" so heres the new screens. (added another part in the back and the lake/waterfall/water spout)

 

[Craka_J]

Much better Mr.Jamaka2! +Rep! for your effort to actually help improve your own work. I like it when people don't quit!

Ahhh, so much better. The last two seemed dull besides the focal point, but all the others are great!

[Mr.Jamaka2]

thanks! i try

 

[Gilles]

Much better! Although you still need to work on height variation. Never leave anything flat. Just take a larger sized brush and raise the ground randomly by 2-4 clicks, if that makes sense.

 

[Mr.Jamaka2]

but there is height variation i guess its just not too noticable... heh

 

[Gilles]

I guess not. Picture ten for example. The dirt all around the water is flat, or at least flat looking, generally ground is not flat (there are exceptions of course).
