Mouse.Pad	i think you should use more raise and lower in your terraining... it looks... 'flat'

@Forest: Looks really cool, I'd say its a bit clustered but maybe thats what you wanted. But to me a forest is more of just dense than clustered. Also the vegetation you used, some of it doesn't fit together with the others like the dead "imported" tree. and maybe smooth out the tall cliff a little bit. But the shoot over all is very cool.
PS: I liked how you used the the entangled goldmine buff to make a forest archway, very innovative.

@Swamp: I also thought this was cool, maybe like mousepad mentioned about it being flat, lower some areas and raise up some others. Also try making it a bit more dead, it seemed to be more of a bayou. And because of that, the necropolis seems really out of place.

@Beholders Lair: Eh, I don't think this is your best work in my opinion. Its interesting and all, but, you can add more because to me it seems a little plan. And also height variations.

@Goblin Encampment: Funny picture, only thing I could say to do better is maybe add more rubish to fit the goblin style? And more buildings in the middle.

Overall: Your a very good terrainer. As far as I can see you have some weak areas in polishing the terrain. Like with the fine details. But you are very original and thats something to be proud of.

PS: Next time put all your terrain links in same post, or you'll piss off the moderators.

BaronVonShnider	I like them all. I really like that beholder's lair. It is really nice. But yes, add more detail and some more variation where needed. Themed terrains are good, but give some variations. I love the necropolis floating over the swamp, too. That's really cool.

Wazza	Ive just got to point out, that the halway looks like it has been made by a drill with people standing ontop of the hallway/tunnel hammering stones through it. its too linear..(or whatever)

Gitlich	that goblin outpost is rediculously chaotic but brillaint at the same time, also, is that the roots from the NE gold mine in the first pics?

Falitian	WEll, first im really frustrated that good terrainer can't take screenshots and edit them. The forest looks very detail;ed and over all good, the swamp is amazing except the fact that the last pic seems flat and boring, the beholder cave is flat, boring and empty, the goblin outpost is amazing, just how I pictured little chaotic, demented goblins to live. Very good over all.

I don't see why you would have to edit the screenshots... Does it bother you that much?

Falitian	I just think that it makes your work seem more professional, and it shows that the peice of terrain was good enough to you that you took the time to edit it and give it a nicer appeal to viewers. It just shows that put more time into you work.
