1st one is an old idea I made when I was bored : Crystal city. It's not so good but I still wanted to show it.

The others are my entries for a screen contest on another forum.
2 : Cursed lands
3 : Capital City of wizards
4 : Sunset on a ruined temple

All of them are without any custom stuff. I hope you'll enjoy and comment what I should improve.

I have some thingys you should improve:
The second pic is too foggy to really see what is there :P
On the last pic you should put more arcs on those domes so there's no gaps in it
Make the ginormous wisp in the background orange so it looks more like a sun
add some shrubs and stuff in the forest areas so it looks more "alive" and lush
edit:
also blend the cliff with the top with a bit of tile variation :)

PS 3rd screen is great!!!

I actually really like the second one. The fog makes it look more creepy and suits the name very well. The first and third ones looks pretty cool too, but like Irked said the fourth one you need to fix the domes.

I just think the fog should be toned down a bit so you can see al ittle of the actual structures

Thanks for the comments.

On the second screen, the fog is thick cause it's more about atmosphere than having good buildings (in fact it's only a big town hall of the undead + spirit tower).
As for the sun, I didn't tried in orange but the red goes well with the dalaran sky, that's why...
For the domes I wanted to keep gaps so it looked ruines but I guess that doesn't turn out so great

You could try to use a few (red) Troll Witch Doctor missiles for the sun.
The sky of the second picture doesn't fit very well to the fog.

Very good use of Blizz models.

Thanks for the positive comments and tips for sun, I'll try to remember troll and faerie missiles next time (or use one custom model).

The green fog is not very original for undead-based landscapes, is it ? And I wanted the same color as the moon. I know no way to make a bluish light with only blizzard stuff.

Second and First were the best, other two needs some work.

The first picture is amazing.

However, something seems off.
The land is icy and frozen, but there are two spots where water runs down the walls..? o.O

Very good screenshots. You work very well with fog and have nice creativity in all of them. Although I didn't really like the last one, too plain =\
GJ though =D
