Wt 82 - Simplicity

This WT will be less about thousands of doodads and epic scenes for a simple, yet nice looking terrain.



I found my way out of the forest. After a long and hard journey, I found the environment suddenly changing from thick evergreen to this open pasture. The thick roots that once entangled me were now long gone. Looking down this open field, there was nothing but grass. In the middle was a hill on which stood a lone tree. This enormous tree stood defiant, and it put me in awe. The simplicity of the scene was very soothing. It was almost as if it submerged all my troubles and doubts in a sea of modesty. The grass seemed to move to the sides of my feet as I tread, as if they were welcoming me as I slowly walked toward the giant tree. I found myself a place in the shade aside one of the large roots that lay along the hillside. I tipped my hat downward and closed my eyes. In the beautiful and simple silence, I slept.

I may make another one, but here's some screwed marines. If you look in the background you can see why...

I went for the simplest i could think of, an abandoned temple/statue, lost to the sands of time...

Zoom (requires log in)
Grand total = 20 doodaddys
If i was going to edit it, i would cut off some of the top and bottem to make it slimmer, i think it would look cool



Dakho i liked urs, its nice n simple, but i think you should try make it look more desperate and forbodding, maybe even make the marines facing outwards from their truck, so its like they are about to get attacked from all sides =)

MC, nice scene, but i think u need to fix the scale a bit, unless the towers are made for midgets =P

Anti, i like ur idea, but it looks too plastic. Maybe its just coz i dont like too much white, but also maybe from the contrast between the trees and sky/snow.

Kinda hate this theme because it's obvious that most people will go for something that's abandoned in the desert :(

EDIT: This kinda borders on Dark Tower :( but it's only 20 doodads so I think it qualifies as simplistic.

I didn't think there would be so many desert scenes :( That's not the only way to show simplicity - look at the example pictures. Nothing epic, nothing massive, nothing complex.

Gorman's screenshot is a good example of that, I like it :)

Anti, tint the moon to make it blend better with the sky. Also, if you removed everything but the grass/rocks in the center and enlarge the moon and put it in the center, it'd create a nice focus and a nice feeling of simplicity. Maybe. Right now, every doodad/unit in that screenshot is fighting for my attention.

I think the moon looks overly massive. It never looks THAT big in the sky, unless, in your realm, the moon is very close.

Well since apparently everyone else decided to do desert I thought I'd do something else. I was surprised no one had done farmland yet, so I thought that was the way to go, as it always seems very simple and empty.
