[Hawkwing]

It's kinda difficult to see.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

alright alright will add fire so you can see better

Edit = for the futur picture

 

[FrIkY]

I really like the background, enviroment and all that stuff... but I don't recognize Infernal's body parts...

 

[FamousPker49]

Shoot, I forgot to say I took something from your book. But yes, I couldn't think of anything to cover the sides n stuff up with. So I went with something boring. ;P

Any other comments...?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i just added the infernal with the fire effect .. above! hope you see it more.. and remember the face is not done yet.. and i will work more on the fire glow effect

 

[Just_Spectating]

i can Barely make out a body form.

its kinda walking up the mountain right?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

arg damit ... can,t you see it? :'(

here's an infernal btw.. http://www.battle.net/war3/undead/units/infernal.shtml

and now?

 

[FamousPker49]

It blends too well with the rest of your environment.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

k thanks for the tip.. will try to add ALOT MORE FIRE.. so it glows! out of the terrain

 

[Cham[p]ion]

Rofl. Love your drawing Gobby. xD

Edit: Loving the terrain to. =)

 

[varsaigen]

it looks like the infernal is sitting on a throne. XD And, when I first saw it, I thought it was a glowing rock in the shape of a dragon's skull. XD The ultimate weapon: One that blends in and packs a punch. XD

 

[Hawkwing]

It looks nice, but the what's behind it, the angle, etc makes it hard to see.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

well will work on it later thanks for all your tips

 

[Belgarath]

Hey, I did trees on the sides and a valley or w/e in the center before famous had even started terraining
Gilles, its only the theme D:

 

[Anachron]

Belgarath how do you like my idea?

And why can't I see your image? :S

 

[2-P]

k thanks for the tip.. will try to add ALOT MORE FIRE.. so it glows! out of the terrain

No, that won't help. I saw that coming before you even made the infernal. You have to change the environment, a dark green infernal on a dark green terrain just doesn't work.

 

[Anachron]

Give him a try atleast.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Give him a try atleast.

It would be great to see it!

 

[Anachron]

It would be great to see it!

Thats why I said give him a try atleast. Well any comment to my terrain? Do you think it will have potencial?

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,it's special,but under terrainer standards,make it more variate!

 

[Anachron]

Wow fucking fast reply
Well you won't see blizzard cliffs in last version, its only for having the same height at some stages.

Also it is a 5 minute break

 

[FamousPker49]

Final...No?

 

[NearbyHermit]

Final...No?

Oh crap!

 

[~Void~]

Meh. I don't like it. The trees are kinda shitty looking, the transition to the background is really bad, and the evil doom lord needs more life. It looks dull, boring and expressionless right now. Like a poorly made statue.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Lol,appreciate the terraining Void,the logics and background suck!

It's a tree made statue that has flame on it's head?

 

[FamousPker49]

Meh. I don't like it. The trees are kinda shitty looking, the transition to the background is really bad, and the evil doom lord needs more life. It looks dull, boring and expressionless right now. Like a poorly made statue.

Orly? I find it funny that I try to make a terrain more like your type of terrains and I get this critique. Well, more of an opinion. A critique has helpful suggestions. So do you have any of those?

It seems like you are just trying to pay me back or something for 'bashing' your terrain. I was only saying to not give credit where it is not due and that it is unoriginal. And basically the only helpful suggestion for lack of originality is a brand new idea. But I'd appreciate some helpful critique rather than saying it's shitty. Especially when the trees look like yours.

 

[raid1000]

well when i first locked at it i was like HOLY CRAP!!! his holding his.... well in his left hand xD

 

[Airandius]

Lol famous don't listen to Void or anybody else that say's it's bad. I love it, I would vote for you! =
It's epic, way better then all those arch abusing people... xD
They have been used to much to still be considered creative stuf. You on the other hand did a very good job!

 

[Sabertooth]

I think in order to secure my vote there needs to be more emphasis on the creature. Yea, it's in the background, and I understand you did construct but I think if we could see more than just what looks like a shadow of him, it'd be a lot better.

 

[FamousPker49]

Thanks for being helpful dude. I appreciate it. I also see what you are saying.

 

[Airandius]

Meh, I kinda liked the idea of having a background battle thing. It's rly more original then stuf made out of arches and stuf like that. Everybody can make stuf out of arches.

Sure it would be nice to see more of it, but atleast give the guy some credit for owning people that make stuf out of arches.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Famous,you're gonna be dethroned be me,keep that in mind!

 

[FamousPker49]

Airandus, he has. Trust me, but it will be much better when I make the changes I am going to. Thanks to Saber of course.

 

[Naze]

Famous, the hills between the background and foreground are too circular. I suggest you to fix that.

Shit, I think I'll never find time to finish my terrain...

 

[Anachron]

Make comments for my just started 5 minute terrain DO!! xD

Actually I agree with Void, though you're right about the critique point, Void's post is hardly helpful if you don't know what he thought while posting it.
So I'll just pick up on Void's post and try to go into detail. Just maybe we even thought the same.

The trees are kinda shitty looking

I don't see anything wrong with the trees in the background. The branches of the two in the front though look very unnatural. Such large branches don't grow so close to the ground and the shrub at their end is really awkward. Makes them look more like mini trees.

the transition to the background is really bad

That's the fault of the large hill in the middle. He hides the entire area in front of the city. You don't need to remove the entire hill, but I suggest you to lower at least the left part of it.

and the evil doom lord needs more life. It looks dull, boring and expressionless right now. Like a poorly made statue.

All those flaws are caused by his posture. He looks... well, retarded. It looks like he's playing domino with the buildings or something, a very sympathetic demon.
But he shouldn't be like that! The white fog and the sunny day are cool, but he fits way too much into the whole scene. Maybe more fire? Or give him a red aura? He sure needs something to stand out.

 

[FamousPker49]

Okay, this has been brought up a lot, what would be a 'good' posture, just draw me some MS paint like gobby has. But I really couldn't find any good reference pics.

As for everything else, it should be pretty easy to fix. Thanks for the help 2-P. Will you be entering this compo?

EDIT: A quick crap paintover of what ima do. Purple is like him being attacked, the orangeish in his rib areas will be his molten core, and the yellow is like lava cracks which will be all over. Plus I will bring him closer in.

Well, never think of that! Shrubs + World Tree = Good Tree

 

[thedeathunterxx]

wow, famouspkrz is the shitt

it would be even cooler if those trees were like burnt and dead andstuff, but w/e

im voting for him... or maybe Mr. goblins.. i cant wait to see that infernal.

 

[Hawkwing]

Remove the wings on the demon or give it wing membrane.

Nono, the trees don't look like mine at all. And you know I only ever point out negative shit.

 

[A.R.]

@Famous: Superbadass. Just thought I'd say.

@Mr.Goblin: Just a tip: Infernals are usually more of a yellow-y green than yours. Try making it more yellow and it'll stand out from the dark green background much better
