Smooth the edges of the cliffs with the Smooth tool in the Terrain Palette. Not too much, but just enough to make the edges look smoothly curved without making the entire cliff look like a hill. Sharp hills and cliffs look terrible in terrains. Avoid them at all costs, even in mountains!

You need more in the background mainly. Looks too plain. A suggestion would be to create a couple more trees back there. You should also consider placing a bunch more shrubs, mushrooms, rocks, etc. around the grassy area of where the Druid is to make it look more natural and vegetated. Don't be afraid of placing too many shrubs, just don't place them randomly everywhere. Be smart about your placements! :smile:

PS: When working on any terrain, you should try your best to make the fog color blend with the color of the sky. Purple and blue don't blend well enough. Try blue and blue - or whatever your choice(s) may be.

I can only give you some marks for effort... Even in the updated version.

The angle is wrong. It shows too much bushes too close to camera, and the missing bottoms of arcs. The "cliffs" could use some prop help, not just bare tiles. Waterfall is no good either... And when would people start to understand that moon prop is damn ugly?
