Terraining Contest #17 - Afterlife Realms

[fladdermasken]

Afterlife Realms

Participants are to portray their interpretation of an Afterlife realm, i.e. the life after death

noun. An afterlife is an existence after death, e.g. ghost realms, heaven, hell, jahanam, styx, etc.

Definitions are definitons, but I trust you know what we have in mind.

This is an open theme, but please dont try and jump too much ropes with it. There can be a very shitty "anything goes" attitude with these things, so please try and make it clear how it is an afterlife and that it is clear in the entry itself, not just the explaining story (if there is one)

• No submission may violate any of the site rules.
• All submissions must follow the current theme. If an entry does not fit, a moderator will tell you as soon as possible as to avoid confusion.
• Your submission must be posted before the deadline. The post containing your final submission must contain a screenshot of your work
• You must show at least one unfinished preview of your submission, before the deadline, as proof that it’s yours.
• Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.
• Judges may not participate.
• Teamwork is not allowed.
• Offsite-imports may be used in the map, if and only if
  • they are fully credited.

  • However certain resources might get approved by the contest's host or judge(s).
• Map may be based on the Ultimate Terraining Map 4.0.
• Image editing tools may not be used to enhance the terrain (however you may use them to crop).

I may participate in this if it gets approved because I like the theme. So basically if I create a *hell* theme I should stay on-topic. Very good, I think I'll manage to create something great although terraining isn't really my strong point. Subscribing...

 

[PublishedShadow]

This says "Afterlife Realm(s)". So just a quick question.

Are we to create one or two afterlife representations? (Good/Evil)
As in two separate images or a representation of BOTH afterlives in a single image?
Or is it just a representation of AN afterlife?
Finally, can the terrain be all of the above questions?

Also, Sorry for the questions, I was just curious

 

[Arad MNK]

I'm In.

Shouldn't the "Date" thing changed to be a real, Date?

 

[Edge45]

And so the "Gates of Hell" opened.
Gonna join then,

 

[APproject]

Sounds like an interesting idea for terraining contest. I am working on a greek underworld project, so I may already have few ideas, sadly I could not use those resources despite for having it for like a year.

Perhaps I will participate, don't know yet.

 

[Arad MNK]

If APP Joins, The result will Be Obvious!

PS: Can we start making the Terrain from now on?

EDIT: Checked some threads.

Nope, we can't.

 

[Ardenian]

•Mr. Vacant
•Mrs. Vacant

Is that a joke ? ( obviously)

 

[Arad MNK]

Flad?

Where are you? I have so many questions

 

[fladdermasken]

This says "Afterlife Realm(s)". So just a quick question.)

Semantics. The plural is because multiple participants are expected. One entry portraying an afterlife per submission is the deal. If you want to portray two separate afterlives in one terrain it would still fit the theme I guess

By rule of thumb, there are no rules that arent already listed

I'm In.

Shouldn't the "Date" thing changed to be a real, Date?

Generally when it gets approved and the contest starts

Flad?

Where are you? I have so many questions

Yeah sure but the whole ethos of questions is that you need to ask them before I can answer them

 

[Arad MNK]

1. What's the Thing with Judges? Mr. and Mrs. Vacant are real?

[Chen]

woot! take my subscription

 

[Arad MNK]

Oh, now I see.

Thank you Flad!

 

[Celaquil]

If I get the time, I'm in, if not, well.
- You know.

Oh, and, make Ash approve it.
Use this post as clemency if necessary.

 

[Arad MNK]

Yay!
- Who will Judge?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Interesting...
(If APproject and Heinvers join, then i'm down ... again)

- Who will Judge?

Mr. and Mrs. Vacant.

 

[Arad MNK]

No really, we need Judges...

And yea If those two join then I'll definantly lose, And the Only challenge will be Between APP and Heinvers.

 

[Shadow Fury]

And yea If those two join then I'll definantly lose, And the Only challenge will be Between APP and Heinvers.

^ This.
I may just participate to receive some feedback in that case because I'd know I wouldn't have any chance of winning.

 

[APproject]

Oh come on, people should not get demotivated because someone else joins. If you push yourself hard enough - there is no opposition, if there is - you didn't push hard enough. And forget all of those irrational excuses.

I may or may not join, I don't feel like having an inspiration at the moment as it was with the castle idea, so it is quite possible I will not participate.

 

[Arad MNK]

You do GREAT terrain, APP.
Whenever I see your Acheron's Affiliction/Human Error/Iceborn I am fascinated.
And I also believe that Whenever Somebody like you joins the Competition, others should be motivated more than ago to Do better, To win them.
It's Obvious who will tho.

 

[fladdermasken]

It's true, I am a pretty shitty terrainer myself.

 

[Heinvers]

...literally wasting one post to bring up absolutely nothing useful and meaningful to the board...

If those two join then I'll definitely lose

Then get some practice and stop complaining like a housewife that ran out of nail-polisher.

(Heinvers join, then I'm down ... again)

Nothing is taken for granted. Now either do something about it or don't.

If you push yourself hard enough - there is no opposition, if there is - you didn't push hard enough.

Having opposition is a great motivator though, even if the other party/ies are better or worse than yourself.

It's true, I am a pretty shitty terrainer myself.

die maister haz spoken. Now work your magic.

Just to Complete APP's Sentence, with Terraining in Warcraft 3, using the Map UTM 4.0, The Greatest Terraining map Ever in history of Warcraft 3.

 

[fladdermasken]

Boooooom!

Contest approved and moved to the main lobby

May God have mercy on your souls I guess

 

[Arad MNK]

First WIP!!!

It's just the Base, it'll be More Detailed later.

 

[Chen]

First WIP!!!

You forgot the image :]

EDIT:Added my own WIP

Inspired of Diablo III Act V but would add more.

 

[Arad MNK]

You forgot the image :]

In fact, I was waiting until The Image was Uploading that I mistakenly Hit "Submit reply".

Didn't consider somebody can be THAT fast

EDIT: Your Terrain is cool, but the Trees seem repetitive. Maybe adding up some spice?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Deadline is so early -_-

 

[Chen]

My concept. Ideas Peeps? Though the trees, I think I should use the Gilneas ones from WoW.

 

[Arad MNK]

It looks Great!

But I believe It can have Waaay More Details.

 

[Deleted member 242951]

I am participating now !

 

[Arad MNK]

Second WIP

Reworked the Camera, Lowered the Fog, Added so many Doodads

And this may look like Final entry but Hell no.

 

[Strydhaizer]

tip : dont rush ;p
i dont know what the hell is going on - on your terrain

 

[Arad MNK]

Yeah, that's what I needed.

Yes, I think the Terrain Is Pretty Messy.
I think I'll create another one as this one doesn't worth anything.

 

[Shadow Fury]

Indeed, I felt you just threw any random doodad on the terrain to create a mess. Gotta work on my own terrain now.

 

[Deleted member 242951]

My first WIP . please criticize....
I know there are empty spots but Im working on them.
This is just a base theme and will be made better and better in updates.

 

[Arad MNK]

My first Real WIP.

Just made the Base. nothing else.
And I came with a new idea, Heaven!
Afterlife isn't only Hell right?
And DS20, I Can't see any Image.
EDIT: Now I see

Yours is opposite of Mine. I had Messy doodads and Tile variation. Yours:
The Tile and Doodad Variation is Missing.
Those Trees in the Background, are known as the most unreal trees in UTM.
And Finally, Using rotation for Rocks won't hurt

 

[Deleted member 242951]

@ Arad , Check once more. and lemme know about it.

 

[Arad MNK]

@ Arad , Check once more. and lemme know about it.

I Don't see any (Major) Changes...

WIP 2 Also Released!
Let me know about what you think.

 

[Chen]

Hell and Heaven are not the only afterlife realms right? And it would be unfair to do just one. So what I will be doing is Both! I mean a Purgatory like realm where the soul's fate would be decided. It will be still inspired off the first concept though.

Sounds like a good idea. I was thinking about doing this one But Well, I didn't.
I believe it's a good idea.
