Terraining Contest #12 - Horror/Nightmare

Celaquil · Apr 4, 2011

Personally, I would like to see a more horror end to your terrain, as right now I just dont even slightly get the chill's from viewing the terrain. To me it's just another dark corridor in some slightly scary game or something. I'm not entirely sure how you're going to pull that off, might have a silhouette of something dreafully looking in the distance, in the shadows. Or some kind of monster thing dangling from the ceiling, or even, climbing in it, towards the camera. Be creative!

elredir · Apr 4, 2011

well...there already is a silhouette in the shadows...if you look hard enough u can see it,

but yea i agree with you,i lost the horror edge along the way,i find it very hard to make a picture to be frightening or even remotely scary,because after all its a static picture,the thing that,at least in my perception,makes a place scary is its ambient sounds and movement(and probably some creepy music)

im sorta out of ideas...but i think ill try to make i little more prominent and scarier silhouette(darn hard word to write)
aren't you going to update you're terrain?

I'd have to say that I agree, and that's partly the reason why I was against this theme in the first place, but anyways, guess it just makes it more challenging, or something...

And well, you'll get to see an update, yes. (eventually..)

Sorry..

Since we're being picky today :3

In this case, I'd prefer 'it's' over 'is'.

'I' should always be capitalized.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1880910-post9.html
'Too' in that sentence doesn't make any sense.

Lol :3
I used to make same mistakes with "your", but thanks to cinematic making, that's been solved.

Celaquil · Apr 5, 2011

Anyways!

To get back on topic, here's my... Well, it's yet again an entirely new idea, so I guess it would be my third point three or something WIP... >.>

This time, however, I am settled with the idea and will consider this my final idea for the contest, not final entry, though.

Anyways, that skull is a custom model General Frank made for me swiftly, using 67chrome's skin, I'll upload the model with this post for the sake of fairness.

Comments and constructive critique is most welcome.

Oziris · Apr 5, 2011

Keiji, I don't find it scary and the tree behind the skull is a bit weird. :/

Boombladoom · Apr 6, 2011

Ok i have a strange idea...so i'm leaving the undead invasion stuff for something else...(I know it looks failish but this is just the first wip :vw_death:

)

johannesr · Apr 6, 2011

Your previous one was scarier keiji, the one with the freaky flying dude.

@Kobas that looks pretty cool

Celaquil · Apr 6, 2011

Calm down, friends.

The scary(er) part will come.

The_Olorin · Apr 6, 2011

So this may be my final picture, if i dont have an idea explosion or i wont get ideas and comments.
So i shall add models link also:
Original thread

But since the Download link wont work then a in somewhere last posts there was a pastebin link on hive what i used to dl models.

Pastebin link

So here it is:
"Locked in Mirror"

Storyline: An old mage got possesed by and demonic spirit who used hes body and played tricks on his mind, which caused him going thrue a mirror from what he cant get out anymore.

Comments, ideas and critisisms are welcome.

elredir · Apr 6, 2011

i think you should add something in the gap between the 2 rooms to make it look more like a mirror

ain't doubting it but...flowers?i mean...aren't those flowers near the skull?
the terrain looks amazing,but its more like a place where something like a titan fell and now the land is healing
really looking forward on how this comes up,hope you don't change the terrain again

@kobas:it..looks..awesome!
the only thing i could say is that those skulls and pile of corpse look kinda random,try making a bit of order in there,maybe arrange them in streams of sorts..

@Error_trigger:no...its all done in the editor,i just tinted it a little darker

New WIP, possibly final entry.

C&C is always welcome

Raven0 · Apr 6, 2011

You know what'd be cool is some smoke or something coming out of his eyes.

When there is no idea ^^
So how this look like guys

Created in 20 min without imports ^^

Shit... on a bike...

M0rbid · Apr 7, 2011

Wellwell, my computer crashed.... and, my terrain was lost... at least the last progress, however I had a screenshot and an earlier version of it saved on an external.
So I will only be able to submit this version now.
Still I hope you enjoy the Warm Welcome to Silent Hill

Adiktuz · Apr 7, 2011

Wow, cool but its not scary enough for me...

none of the submissions so far are not scary, but the important thing is to create a horror environment. And i think he archived that so far.

Tleno · Apr 7, 2011

Yes, not scary, but you actually can't make something real scary with single screenshot of Warcraft 3, while this one has a strange and mysterious atmosphere, and it looks damn awesome... so this one is definetly suiting the atmosphere...
And currently it's one of my favourites...

The_Olorin · Apr 7, 2011

Have to agree, interesting picture you have there, looks very mysterious.

Edit: I want so good sense of art too -.-

Btw do we know who gona be judges, cause first posts says there aint none atm.

DEAD FiSH · Apr 7, 2011

Whoa! Nice... Good luck everyone.

Boombladoom · Apr 7, 2011

One more WIP...but i have a problem...i don't know if my picture really fits with the theme...what do you guys think?

This is partly why I hate this theme.

Dr. House · Apr 7, 2011

omg M0rbid that is awesome (i like the movie Silent hill

)

elredir · Apr 7, 2011

lots of good entries lately

i think this is my final..cuz im leaving for the weekend...so here it is

really would like to hear some suggestions.opinions

De.Facto · Apr 8, 2011

I'm in.

SA Dashie · Apr 8, 2011

I may join if I end up having the time or just feel like making a terrain again but it may be a more unique pic than the others considering I personally don't like using imported models unless I'm in desperate need of one and like to keep it to the wc3 theam and modify it myself

Tleno · Apr 8, 2011

Well I'm not really sure if you can make something scary and atmospheric using only the standart resources... but still I believe it will be an intresting submission...

Adiktuz · Apr 8, 2011

good luck to you, as you only have about 3 more days...

-Kobas- · Apr 8, 2011

We all have skill, imagination is problem.

SA Dashie · Apr 9, 2011

Haha I hate coming to there contests late

edit: If no secces by tomorow I'll just wait till next contest

Stranger · Apr 9, 2011

First contest for me at the hive! Creativity isn't my strong point, so hopefully my work will turn out to be decent.

Edit:
2nd WIP. I'm quite happy with how it's turning out so far. Eventually I might make use of unit animations, since right now all the villagers are standing and the ghouls should be doing their cannibalize thing.

Edit2:
3rd WIP (and likely the final, I'm running out of time). Still trying to stay away from tempting models around the hive. Also tried to make the city walls a little more dangerous looking.

Edit3:

Adiktuz · Apr 9, 2011

ooohhhh, nice pic... so bloody red...

-Kobas- · Apr 9, 2011

Where did I saw those red crystals :xxd:

Adiktuz · Apr 9, 2011

I think we're thinking of the same entry... ^.^

Oziris · Apr 9, 2011

I like it Stranger, looks interesting

Okay, my latest WIP. xD

Feedback welcome! ^^

SA Dashie · Apr 9, 2011

seems like some pretty tough entry's maybe I will just wait till next comp and hope for a theam I may stand a chance at and get in early xD

Dr. House · Apr 9, 2011

With som luck im able to put up a WIP tonight.

Oziris: Nice but i got the feeling the pointy towers are look so much the same (i mean it needs more variation) and for my feeling the river shows itself to much (bright) but thats just my opinion anyway still a nice wip

indomitable1319 · Apr 10, 2011

Aww. I could've joined this contest, but it was too late since I already made this one.

Oh well.

Tleno · Apr 10, 2011

That grass near to corpses looks lame... you should hide it someway...

indomitable1319 · Apr 10, 2011

That's not my entry. I'm just saying that I would've joined.

snowman990 · Apr 10, 2011

My sort of final submission is in my terrainig album..

Adiktuz · Apr 10, 2011

snowman990 · Apr 10, 2011
