Skury Cave!

[FamousPker49]

Made a cave thing. Possibly for terrain contest, if it seems more gloomy than my other terrain. Need some suggestions for around the cave. I'm not sure about the tree selection... Good comments are greatly appreciated.

The trees do not match the tiles. The cave is okay, but not great. I would use tiles and a hill.

Updates. With a view inside the cave! OMG! Skary!

 

[Ardnived]

1) Trees look good (in my opinion) but it kinda hard to make you the cave
2) The cave looks a bit too uniform and out of place maybe put some brush aswell (I mean acutally sticking out between the rocks)
3) looks nice, but the foreground in a bit bare

 

[Gilles]

It definitely looks better with the vegetation. I like how you can see inside, but it could use some work. Stalagmites might look nice, or better tiles (not sure which though).

The rocks that make the cave are not my favorite, but it still looks good.

It looks nice, just add a few more "cave-like" details, Such as stalagtites and stalagmites, like Gilles suggested.

Alright, will do guys, do you think this is gloomy?
EDIT: Updates on first post.

 

[Gilles]

Ugggly stalagmites. It's not that gloomy, but gloomy enough.

 

[FamousPker49]

Yeah, I can't get gloomy! lol. Anyway, I couldn't find a stalagmite I liked... But here is a different one that seems to look better.

It's a fuxxing cave... how much gloomier can you get?
But make the shrubs darker and put a light gray / bluish gray fog, and change the sky to foggy sky. The felwood sky doesn't look gloomy, it just looks evil.

 

[FamousPker49]

That's pretty odd. Cus that's what I was thinking. But I like it! Heres the updates.

 

[Gilles]

Looks like a magical pool giving off an aura. I like it, especially the idea. The environment both inside and out side is pretty good.

Hmm... just looking at it makes me think... it really just looks like a pile of boulders with a hole in it. Maybe that's what you were going for, but it's kinda strange. I suggest you make the mound in the terrain editor, but donut shaped with an entrance, and cover the hole in the top with a few big rocks, that way it looks more realistic. But it's up to you, really.

 

[FamousPker49]

I see what you are saying, and I think part of it is the rock choice. Idk. I kinda like it the way it is. Thanks for all the suggestions though, it really made this alot better.

 

[Belgarath]

Doesn't look too scary now anymore.

 

[Oziris]

Make the sky darker!

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, here's another update. I like it lots. Critique pls.

 

[DwarfZealot]

now the cave kinda blends in with the sky

 

[~Void~]

It's a bit better, but everything should be made more bluish... (it may not make it look real but it will add a really nice effect). I love those glow-moons :3

 

[Gilles]

I dislike the blending of the cave and the sky.

 

[FamousPker49]

Alright, I see what you mean with the blending, and made it somewhat more bluish.
