I wonder why so many voted for Oziris' work, not saying that it sucks, but it has many flaws and it isn't polished to the maximum.

Here is some examples that could have been fixed:

PS. There is nothing in the sky.. Normal sky box by Blizzard :/
 
A lot of people don't see those things. Not everyone knows how to critique a terrain, and just look at it like a picture.
 
I'm inclined to agree with xerex here, and then frost, too. When you judge it as a terrain, it's average. When you judge it as a picture, same thing. : WHERETHEFUCKISTHELINEKEYONTHISKEYBOARD?
BUT I don't want to start more drama so I think I'll just go kill myself right now :)

HFR, Gilles goes very easy on theme. Usually people do. >___>

Also pyritie, no, hell no, especially not in a terrain contest

That's usually because people do a good job on the theme/the theme is easy to follow. This one is a little different, and I would probably give lower scores to people.

Again... am I judging? I have no confirmation from Void. He should definitely be the judge, but if he wants more, I'm willing of course.
 
again i must say that the theme we chosen by the terrain contest poll turn out to be not just mythology but ancient history as well o.O
so i can say my hanging gardens gets 5 points because its ancient history xD gg
correct me if im wrong
 
Lots of these have very little to do with ancient mythology... Some of them are awesome terrains though, but I'm not voting them cause it doesn't fit the theme well enough.

Vote cast on Raid whose lighting could slightly be improved (I personally think the hanging gardens will look so much better at daylight) but looks awesome either way. The theme isn't perfectly mythological either, but still close enough. Closer than some others...

The seven wonders still have this mythological feeling to them.

Raid, but your terrain was awful on background and scars. The only good thing is that you spend much time in it. I don't think you deserve the first place :/

Megafyr`s was the best, even if all of them was good so was Megafyrs the best
No more to say :grin:
 
Done, and sent. I forgot that Void changed the judging to a simple /100. Makes it really fast, but I think the old way was better.
 
I got to say about the judging, Ancient Mythology is imaginary these places do not really exist - they are mostly described in writing, and in many cases the accounts of what these places look like varry on the author.
It is then up to the artist to create somthing from imagination that represents the idea's of the myth.

If you google Valhalla there are many diffrent images they are not all the same - because the artist interprets the myth in many ways.

Pluss in the first post of the contest thread you put a picture of a epic castle... do you not consider that Ancient Mythology? If not why did you post it, that would be miss-leading.

So giving people low scores based on the "theme" in this case seems to go against the very thing mythology is - make belive and therfor is whatever the artist imagine.

There are many storys of epic castles, buildings, fortress' throughout mythology. What they might look like depends largly on the artist depiction.
