WT 69 - Overgrown

02-10-2008, 11:01 PM

The fog was thick. The endless shade of gray blinded us to what we were approaching. Nearly tripping over the entangled vines at my feet, I wondered how long it had been since anyone else was here. I looked down and curiously saw what I thought was a stone surfaced. I imagine it was just a hallucination of many long days out in this wilderness. Shaking it off my mind, I continued to cut away the weeds and vines that blocked our way. As I peered through the fog, I saw what looked like a great stone wall. I quickened my pace as my companions followed. I saw little bits of it through the entangled vines. As I put my hand up against it I felt the inscriptions of many ages past. It was a door.

Sabertooth_X	First picture is definitely the most inspiring, IMHO, and I tried to make mine resemble it. Ill have it soon, I guess. (are we allowed to make more than one, incase i get an actual idea? >_>)

DungeonM	Sounds like a sweet theme, I think I've got an idea, might take a few days.

You're welcome. If you want to see more awesome pictures, visit CGTalk.com :) It's where I got that, among other things (I've used them in WTs sometimes).

I'm modeling my terrain after that one as well.

Of course. This isn't a contest, it's an exercise. Do whatever you want!

There is no limit on the number of screens you can post for a topic. You can show WIP screens, or put several screens together to show the progression of your map. If you do post a lot of screens, please don't [img] tag them. It will take up too much space on the screen, so just leave them as attachments.

Sabertooth_X	Ah-ha! How in the world did I miss that? Thanks ghenjis.

Deathcom3s	I'm definitely doing my terrain after the first one, it looks like something from gears of war. This certainly is an interesting WT. I'll post my terrain later today.

My thoughts exactly, Death.

In fact, here's my "based-on" screenie. I might make one that think up myself.

Sabertooth_X	B2M wins. That is definitely thinking outside the box. Or thinking outside the peasant, in this case. -buh dum psh-

Not bad at all, the only thing I'd mention is to not use dirt tiles under such lush environmental doodads.

If this were a t-shirt, the tag would say 100% win.

thoughts anyone?
