While others could not like the brightness, I like it. But the thing I don't like is the buildings on the right, some of them don't look to be on the platform, and the platform isn't really nice. Also some details, such as units and minor doodads on the platform would be really good to improve it.

We'll it took a while and I wasn't satisfied with the first one, did not look elvish at all, but I remade it completely so it looks a bit more elven now. But I'm not that happy with it... Anyway this is my piece:

My Entry: Elven Falls

Enjoy.

Lore: Deep in the sacred forests of the elves, a mountain stream meets a cliff and flows over the edge, forming a waterfall. The most remarkable thing about this waterfall is that, standing over it, as though a guardian, looms a natural statue of a humanoid figure, carved out by the rushing waters long before the elves even knew of this place. The elves treat this waterfall as a most sacred place, and indeed, its waters heal the sick, and its very vapor brings peace and magic to all who breathe it. Nowadays, however, the falls are most often visited by couples of young elves.

Alright, now I'm offisially in the contest, this might not be my final, but its close.

It is, as many of you might know, a picture of my own fictioned race of elves, the Black Elves.

EDIT: Did some small changes, for the better, I hope.

1. the sky is cut off on the right

2. some background behind the waterfall would look better (to the right side)

3. the bottom right corner is bugging me.


1. Yeah, I noticed that. Any advice on how to fix it?

2. Fixed (I think.)

3. As 2.

Elven falls guy, zoom in. Or use ctrl/rightmousebutton to move around your camera. One of those will fix it. Your trees are floating on the right, add some shrubs around their bases, and in total, also some flowers would be nice, maybe even some rocks.
Mansion man, good job, but IMO, remove the glow and make a nice calm sky and everything. IMO, the ashenvale trees look ugly (the model), but you used them quite nicely, if you have time and the want, it'd probably look better with a different type of model or something. Then make some sedate village in the valley or w/e is beneath it, add to the mansion, whatever, anything better than glowgasm. Otherwise nice picture. Quite nice.
