Terraining Contest #12 - Horror/Nightmare

[fladdermasken]

Oh yea, i forgot to ask one thing. What exactly made my wip lose its horror?

The update was much brighter, and you could clearly make out the separate doodads in the creature's face.
As I said, you need to work on light/shadow dynamics :3

 

[Celaquil]

That, and somehow the whole monster in itself doesn't look as dangerous as it did, to me it might have something to do with the placing of the eyes. In addition, on the first one it really looked like this extremely large, aggressive and dangerous beast just about to attack a small and cozy home, creating a horrific tension that isn't present in the second WIP.

And on a side note, here's my first WIP, I'm not entirely sertain about the idea yet, so I might end up doing a completely different terrain, but for now, this is it.

 

[Bernkastel]

Allright, i'll see what i can do about it :3

Keiji, that looks like a place where i wouldnt want to go wandering around. I would probably run throught it if i had to go there. Scawy

Allright, not sure if it's even going to the better direction, oh and if you think that the middle teeth look strange that's because they're justflying there atm. As i really didnt get any part to fit in that spot, and yes the right side of the creature is rather.. Messy. Hauu~

 

[snowman990]

Keiji, Wow that look so scarry :O i'm going to run as fast as possible if i was in there
Garshilan, the monster looks Epic :O i like that monster
sigh, looks like almost everyone using a high res doodad pack -.-"
BTW here's my FIRST WIP

 

[Celaquil]

Second WIP.

 

[fladdermasken]

Why wouldn't we?

We utilize the tools we have at hand to craft a piece of art.
Should you find a model that matches your terrain better than the high resolution ones, then by all means, use it :3

Don't think that terraining with outdated material will earn you any 'old school points' though - terraining is about appeal;
I summon Keiji:

This is Terrain Art, not a lookalike contest for an 8 years old game when they didn’t have any better resources to work with.

That gained it some scare appeal.

I would however still say that the eyesockets are oddly bright - which makes the glowing eyes seem less like eyes and more like excluded glows.

Second WIP.

I love the angle and the foggy light effects.

However, it does have a slight ... 'generic' feel to it in its current state, for lack of better terms.
It'll be interesting to see how you'll work your magic on it.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Figure I'll give this one a try, here's my first WiP

 

[Oziris]

Keiji, you should fix the tree in the right side of the background, looks too bright.

 

[johannesr]

Very nice, love the red eyes to the left, the back seems a little too bright for me, I'd expect to just barely be able to make out the figure before it zoomed up to me and pwned me hardcore.

Johannesr, the red eyes are kind of pulling attention from the possessed girl. IMO, you should remove them.

Hmm, now im confused as to what i should do: remove them or not?

 

[AyeKantSpel]

I'd say follow Oziris' advice, he knows more about how to make it look good than I do.

 

[Celaquil]

Hmm, now im confused as to what i should do: remove them or not?

Do what you feel is the best. While yes, the eyes do draw the attention away from the wicked girl thing in the middle of the terrain, it still poses a nice touch. Maybe lessen the intensity of the eyes might help? I'm not sure.

Main point is, if you feel that them drawing the attention is a bad thing, you should either remove them or make them less apparent, if not, then keep them.

In any case, I've actually got an idea and a tip for you, what I would do with your terrain if I had my hands on it is open the roof, just entirely remove it and have like rubbleish parts to indicate that it once were a roof, then have a decripit wall in the background, this is all to give the terrain more depth and to be able to have a "nature" aspect of it, so that you can add a background, forest, sky and fog. Might make for a cool outcome, especially considering those walls and ceiling looks extremely stretched and not very good.

 

[johannesr]

@Keiji Not sure how that would work. The idea of the terrain is that youre pretty much enclosed in a building, with no way out. Removing the ceiling and having cracks in walls would ruin that.

 

[Symon]

Hm.. too much things to do cause of school and things, mabye I join next time.
Oh, littl idea for DeathKnight, mabye remove one of the hangman-playing guys, but stay the chain and put the dead guy on the ground cause in my mind it looks littl bit tidy.

 

[Oziris]

Okaaay, here is my third WIP. ^^

PS. forgot to move the sky back for the mountains but meh. It's the same as in the last WIP.

 

[Marsal]

I'm thinking about an other entry instead of the current one. The new one is inspired by a movie called Outpost.

Loved that movie, i find everything with National Socialists interesting. But let's not discuss about that.

Looking rather interesting there Oz, looking forward to see that one completed, are you planning to add somekind of monster to your picture, or is it going to be something beyond my very understanding?

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Idk, just doesn't seem to give me that fear factor, it's very nice, but I'll be watching intently to see how you make this work.


Also here's my second WiP

 

[snowman990]

Second WIP
Suggestion are welcome

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Second WIP
Suggestion are welcome

The green eyes look too far apart and appear to be looking upwards, I was going to use the demonic footprints for my eyes but they can't be resized, see if you can make any use out of those, a firey eye in the dark looks pretty cool.

 

[snowman990]

Third WIP

What do you guys think about the fire eyes?
Suggestion are welcome

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Haha, the orange eyes are doing the 0.o face, blood splatter is pretty nice, I might suggest maybe something coming out of the top doorway or another pair of eyes to watch.

 

[snowman990]

Fourth WIP

Suggestion are welcome

 

[knight26]

@Error_Trigger,

Those eyes are going to destroy your originality, i suggest u remove them, and add something else instead. Also the room seems a bit.. Flat and empty, try to raise it a bit at the left side(viewers left side) or add something there.. Also those abnominations on the front dont look too good, rotate them and place them in different places. I think it will make it better. and finally, can we see some cracks and dirt on those tiles?! Else. its good work. but most likely if u want to win, u need more work!

A very pro suggestion to all:
Why is noone using THis as a MONSTER's hand?
Or why aren't you using this: bloody thing
Also im very sure i saw a model made out of Gul'dans runes. They would fit very well on walls.. but i cant seem to find it sadly.
anyhow I hope I've been a bit helpful to you guys and im hoping for great terrain works, really awesome so far!

 

[snowman990]

Okay i'll edit it on next monday
EDIT: i guess i edit it now here's the fifth WIP

Suggestion are welcome,but i will edit it on next monday

 

[Celaquil]

Alright, experimenting with a new concept, so this would be my First point three WIP, admitedly I like this idea better than the last one, I just need to work more on it, and probably change around some few things.

That does actually seem like a original nightmare, obviously if you worked on it more, but i think, this one is more like a Weird Nightmare, and your first one, is more like Silent Hill. Good Job so far!

 

[knight26]

@Keiji,

Now that, reminds me of resident evil and matrix combined lol.
It has some awesome potential. i think youll come up with a nice ending.. Looking forward!

 

[johannesr]

@Keiji Yeah it does have some good potential

 

[snowman990]

@Keiji That look amazing and awesome :O But i think if you add more blood it will be more better

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Keiji, holy crap that's awesome.

 

[Adiktuz]

@keiji - as usual, awesome.

Am I an asshole for pointing out the irony in this post?

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Am I an asshole for pointing out the irony in this post?

Lol

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Am I an asshole for pointing out the irony in this post?

Allow me to clear that statement up, the terrain itself so far is very nice, but as far as horror or nightmare, I'm not seeing it within the screenshot, but I know it's a WIP and I'm eager to see what he adds because I probably can learn something from it.

 

[GhostThruster]

He means he doesn't find your pic scary either.

 

[snowman990]

Can someone give me more suggestion on my fifth WIP ?
And I want to tell you all that the witch model is from zerox site(I was forgot the site name and I'm sorry for not giving the link.I was forgot what's the link name)

 

[GhostThruster]

Wc3 Unlimited?

 

[Adiktuz]

@Error_Trigger:

Unless a used resource belongs to either hiveworkshop or Wc3 Campaigns, a link to the used resources must be provided.

yours is from wc3 unlimited so you need to provide a link...

 

[fladdermasken]

@Error_Trigger:


yours is from wc3 unlimited so you need to provide a link...

Not right now he doesn't, it suffices if he provides M0rbid with a link along with his final entry.

 

[Adiktuz]

well, yeah... ^_^

 

[snowman990]

Yeah,I'm going to give link to it on my final entry...

 

[-Kobas-]

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

Created in 20 min without imports ^^

 

[GhostThruster]

Pretty frickin' good! Needs to be darker though. Seems too bright.

 

[TheKurt009]

[XPQJ]

[xDeathKnightx]

Wow -Kobas- Twenty minutes? That's pretty awesome

 

[Cihparg]

Goddammit, I've forgot to even start the terrain.
Hrm... Lets see if I get motivation at all to this after all... Need a friggen' nightmare!

 

[fladdermasken]

Bwahaha, I found Oziris' inspiration ^^

 

[johannesr]
