Terraining Contest #12 - Theme and general discussion

[wolfman]

I like the Racial Settlement idea
and the picture mini contest thing seems cool too

 

[Oziris]

Morbid, or anyone else could make a poll right about now with the suggested themes and leave it open until the picture #3 closes.

 

[M0rbid]

Yes, i thought about it and about creating one already, just not sure how many options I want to add and all that.
So I would you all to once again voice your favourite themes of those already mentioned, so that I can see those sticking out, which could qualify to be in the poll.

 

[Sorceress]

Zombie City Theme.

 

[Marsal]

Post Apocalyptic Theme

 

[Oziris]

I went through the thread and the best themes would be these:

Racial Settlement
Warcraft Lore
Horror/Nigthmare
Otherworldly
Close to Death
Evolution

 

[Tleno]

Yes, but Evolution is kinda close to Catalysm, so it should be crossed out.

 

[Sorceress]

Why not just pick one ^:

 

[M0rbid]

Why not just pick one ^:

because I want it to be a decision of the community and not mine...

Anyways, poll added....

 

[Marsal]

there could be more choice, now it's not too much

 

[M0rbid]

yes, it's not too much, I limited it to those which were the most mentioned and discussed, while I also not included those that were to similar to the latest themes.

 

[Sorceress]

Well, i vote for Nightmare/Horror

 

[Skycraft]

I voted for Horror/Nightmare, purely because I like the idea better than the others.
Evolution though doesn't sound too bad.

 

[Tleno]

Horror/Nightmare, duh. I mean that was one if my ideas, plus itr's one of the widest and easiest themes from all listed... well maybe except for racial settlements, but that doesn't sounds so creative...

 

[Skycraft]

One of YOU'RE ideas? Look at the first page.

Here's a list of ideas on what you could do! I got these ideas from myself and other users too.

• Wonderland
• Underwater
• Natural Environments
• Apocalypse
• Sanctuary
• Candy-land
• Creepy/Eerie
• Sci-Fi
• Universal
• Racial Settlement
• Emerald Dream
• Nightmare
• Castle
• Sand Dunes
• Nether-realm

You don't have to like them, they are just ideas.

Silly tleno, always thinks everything is his idea.
Anyway, I'm going off-topic with that.

Keep the votes coming!

 

[Tleno]

Oh, I know one that won't be hard to make and it's still has a full spectre of ideas to use.
Plus it's kinda related to current stroywriting contest: Horror/Nightmare.

You need to make something nightmareish, terrible and spooky. A haunted mansion, zombie cementery, monster filled swamp - anything you like!

So what do you think about it?

See? you suggested Nightmare, but that's me who suggested Horror/Nightmare.

Silly Skycraft...

 

[Oziris]

Like it makes any difference who's idea was it. xD

 

[fladdermasken]

Evolution seems very similar to the cataclysm theme, wouldn't you agree?
'Portraying two terrains, one which takes place before the fundamental change, and one after.'

Only difference would be that cataclysm is sudden change, where as evolution is gradual.
The general concept idea is identical, I'd say.

I completely agree with this dude concerning the evolution theme.
I'd rep him but for any apparent reason I can't.

 

[Oziris]

Only ten votes. =/

 

[Sorceress]

Only ten votes. =/

guess no one really knows that this thread exist n_n

 

[Tleno]

Yes, people aren't really active on threads like that since they don't even get announced ussually.

 

[Celaquil]

Frankly put, I probably wont join if "Horror/Nightmare" get's picked. Honestly, I find it foolish to have such a narrow, specified and uncreative theme for a terrain contest, artists need their freedom...

Bah..

 

[Tleno]

I kinda like don't see so much of limitation, I mean it can take place in sci-fi, horror, modern... I kinda can't understand why do you call it narrow. Could you eleborate?

 

[Celaquil]

To my eyes, it seems narrow as to the end of it having to do with "horror." In some way or another it needs to look scary/dark or twisted. The scenery can be what you chose it to be, yes. But then, it has to compliment the feeling of fear and or surprise, horror. And thus narrowing the ideal feel of the terrain down to something that seems very limited for me, in terms of emotional conclusion and overall feel of a terrain.

Besides, I just dont really like the theme, never been a fan of horror stuff.

 

[Tleno]

I hate horror too. But I think that's the best of ideas we have for this contest...

 

[fladdermasken]

Racial Settlements is by far the most free theme nominated.

And quite frankly I would actually not leave this matter to be decided by a public poll where half of the voters won't even enter the contest

EDIT: I just noticed that a "" just had to be added to make this post slightly more badass.

 

[Marsal]

A post-apocalyptic theme could be good ~.~

 

[Tleno]

A post-apocalyptic theme could be good ~.~

Yes it would be. No worries, there will always be next contest.

 

[snowman990]

Can't wait for the next terraining contest

 

[Oziris]

Uh, how long are we suppose to wait more? I hope it's after the Picture #3.

 

[Piwlady]

Voted horror/nightmare. I'd love to play with lights and shades.

 

[M0rbid]

Uh, how long are we suppose to wait more? I hope it's after the Picture #3.

exam on 8th, will try to get it up the week after that...

 

[The_Olorin]

any process with judgeing?

 

[Tleno]

Erm, shouldn't this like be closed long time ago, like right when the contest begun?
