Syltman's Terrain

[syltman]

Well, I'm not the best terrainer around but this is my first terrain I've ever made (Except some small practice stuff)

I like how you use tile variation even on the cliffs. But try to use a little bit more rock tiles where it's steep and a little more grass/dirt where it's flat, instead of just random.

Well maybe change the sky to like generic or something brighter. Your terrian is a little messy same with the doodads. Maybe add some light fog or something. Your water changes colors. Idk what else its very good for first time. Try n look at some of Ashenvales terrian like leaves/vines/lumpy grass makes a great varaition.

The waterfalls could of used some more work.

Alrighty, Now I know that 'till next time

I did actully use the generic sky here although you can't see it thanks to the mountains.
I did not understand what you meant with messy terrain, Please explain a bit more specefic

I guess you're right at that point. I'll work a bit more next time, Thanks everyone for telling me what you though was good and wrong etc. The next terrain I make will probably be a jungle, After that a Swamp.

Hmm, well first off try to add a yellow fog or something bright to give it more effect.
Next try to find a brighter sky or make the mountians near the sun next time/ the darkness doesnt really fit. Try n mess around with the lighting also , dusk,midnight,daytime,
---------------------------
Picture one - a lil end of world on first picture on right side, flowers growing on dirt near the middle (idk) and it looks like those small copperish-gray trees dont fit in try to smooth up the waterfall near top and in the middle. Blue rocks? bottom right corner no doodads or tile variation

Picutre two - Not sure, but i dont think grass grows underwater near waterfalls, there is a big mass of doodads near the waterfall - not alot in other places, right side has a lot of dirt, try and mess around with the bubbles they can sometimes look like a waterfall splash going down.

Picture three - change the color of some of the doodads to match the grass, looks like theres about 30 doodad varaitions, idk it looks a lil messy, that log is ugly, I dont know if you did this but try to smooth some of the terrian near the waterfalls edges.
+ whats with the change of water color?
----------------------------
I hope this helps ( im not that good of a terrianer either)

The blue rocks that can be seen in the first pic looks really odd.

Ah, and another thing that's commonly overlooked, waterfalls that big don't flow down mountains that small. It's not like waterfalls come out of the pointy peak of a mountain, or anything stupid like that.

They usually come from lakes on the side of a mountain.

Example (HUGE image)

Actually they can be as small as a trickle.

Also they come from snow melts usually. That's why rivers rise in the spring and summer.

Alrighty, Thanks again people for pointing out these mistakes. I will not uptade these I will insteed move on to the terrains I said above and be extra carefull about the errors that I made.

 

[Ziggen]

Also smooth the edges more in around the lake seen in pic 2. Anyway it was pretty good, except for those awful "up-side-down"-trees. Good luck with your other terrains!

I like the 3d one best, but the others require some fog... And some more rock doodads, the mountains look too plain. +rep anyways.

 

[Hawkwing]

Aside from the lack of a sky and fog, it's extremely random. Also, those waterfalls are totally out of place. Please fit them onto the mountainside better.
