Seeking Help: Island Chain/Volcano/Blight

For an upcoming map which I am aiding in creation, the map creator has stumbled upon various problems terrain-wise. The largest difficulty has been in using "Cliff mapping" in the already "Hight mapped" terrain which the creator usualy uses because he dislikes the Blizzard cliff system.

I've come to w3campaigns and found treasure troves of mapmaking support by many, many talented terrainers. So far, from the screenshots I've seen, (favorites from Archean [realistic, lifelike terrain], and bur [attention to scale]).

With that said, I have a request. A simple one. Scouring the forums, and multple threads, I could not find much quality Island pictures, even less, ones that included Volcano/Blight (Undead regions)... If anyone could simply post links to any thread or picture remotely resembling my request, I would appreciate that.

P.S. - Does Archaen and bur to personal work for maps? Or AKA, "projects"? If so, how could I repay them for aiding a project?

I'm not very confident with my environmental terraining, this has made me even more insecure... thanks... Anyways here's my try at it.

I think i can help you out if you want, got some spare time this weekend.

Yes. My account is Brachyura@USEast BNet. Simply whisper and we can meet up, I'm on all the time.

Great work bur! Again, I noticed alot of your talent into these pictures. It seems you started off with a simple island and then went from there.
Picture 2 - I noticed you added a Sky terrain. How exactly is that done and what is it called in WE?
Picture 10 - The most surprising; I seen that huge cliff. Is it just raised ground, or many cliffs stacked together? (I'm learning)
Picture 5 - >\/( 0_0]^\/<... gave me an idea for a GREAT starting cinematic.
Picture 8 - The best captured picture in the selection! I don't know how to explain it, but, maybe it's my opinion, not sure.

At any rate, thank you very much bur, they definitely cleared roadblocks the map creator I work for has.


P.S. - Is where thread dies? N0Oo0oooooo!

Hello, I'm the one that Brachyura was speaking about. I'll attach my current Terrain to this post, I'd appreciate any critique or suggestions anybody may have.
This is the second terrain that I've seriously attempted to make, probably about the 10th actual map that I've terrained in at all.

So what kinda map is this ? AOS ?

[edit]

Didn't know how u would like the map so i made a quick one in 10 min for an example.

I can help. Environmental terrain is my specialty... sort of. No, really!

Edit: here's my attempt.

It's an Island Chain, not a single island, and the volcano isn't going to be active at the start of the game. I'd appreciate commentary on the terrain I already have done, over examples, please.

Yes I know it's an island chain, but I was just giving an example of what the island would be, not doing the entire map for you (yet)
But I wish you had told us the volcano wasn't active... but it's not that hard just get rid of all the doodads in the middle of the volcano and fill it with Abyss terrain or something.
