WT 76 - Abandoned

I hoisted the reins and my horse grunted, but sped his pace. We sped through the forest, until the forest of trees thinned and disappeared and I found myself in the tall grass of a voluminous pasture. Though the gray fog I witnessed the silhouettes of spires. Curiosity drew me through the gates, and I noticed the empty streets and the open doors and the open windows. No sound but the wind and the clatter of hooves among the grand cathedral's steps existed in the ambiance. I lowered myself from my horse and approached the august door. With a push the hinges creaked and the door swung open. The door went as far as it could go, and with a squeal of protest, the hinges gave way. The great door came tumbling down with a crash, loud and echoing in the silence. A swarm of crows flew out of the opening of what was once the building's roof. Dust had swept from under the bottom the door and swirled into my nostrils. I stepped over the great door and peered inside: Pews scattered among the foyer, thick layers of dust stifling the carpet, the walls cracked and broken. There were no signs of life, not even life that had passed. I looked up at the light falling through the crumbling roof and what was left of the stained glass windows. It's prime was long gone, but beauty would still be an understatement.

Although this wt is actualy more of the same, ruins, lost city etc.
I think i will participate, if i have time for it. But maybe next time we can do a theme that nobody has done before.

I'll also tag along, hell I've got some time to kill right now :), a couple of hours, I'll see what I can whip up !

EDIT: Took me a little while to come up with this, an abandoned village where life comes forth from out of the decay :)

I'm also going to make another one now

*double post*

Damn inactivity!!!

Anyway here's the other thing I was also working on
It's an abandoned tower in a desolated forest!

I think they look good, guess I'll make another one too !!! :)
Maybe like Sargerras'(whatever) Tomb!!!

EDIT: Posted another pic of an abandoned temple, it's not as good as the other's though, not how I wanted it to come out :(

Your first submissions were good, although they lacked tile variation and a good grass model.

Your second submission, to be perfectly frank, sucked. :P

Here we go, an abandoned temple in the middle of the desert. I might make another thing as well. It feels good to not procrastinate
(props to void for that sun-making tutorial, man)

An abandoned house. One of my recent terrains, think it fits the theme.

to Anti_Saint: your first pic looks good but in the second the fog doesn't make a very good fade into the sky. As for the third pic the vines doodad isn't very suitable for a forest. your last one is better but has the same problem with the sky

to Sabertooth_X, its looks nice, but it kind of misses a top or a spiral or something sins the temple looks like it would be huge, yet you cant see it.

to Ikum-bokum: That looks pretty good

As for my entry, a library lost and forgotten

Sabertooth_X, that sun just doesn't have the effect it should have. It needs to be more bright. Try making rays come over the temple. The sun is bright enough itself, but it doesn't give off light.

Lord Snorky, actually there is a fog set in Ikum-bokum's (frost, I dislike your name! :P) terrain. It's just black, and set farther away. Look at the far trees. Although frosty, you should try adding a light from above doodad. Tint it very transparent and add it to the front. See what happens.

I modded the pic, adding the roof thing (I dont know how I forgot that.) and HOPEFULLY fixed the issue with the sun by not having it behind the temple. I also changed the camera angle.
Better?

It dos look better now, still you could try using more variation with doodad's and mayby expanding the desert vieuw a bit to make it look more epic.

btw didnt anyone notice my entry?

LOL, awww Snorky :P

Yours was Spectacular! It is awesome the whole abandoned Library, and it's original, I think everything worked together perfectly

Only downside to Lord Snorky's was the fact that he did not terrain outside. Or at least next time don't show out through the window.

Sabertooth, the sun looks like it's 20 feet away from the camera.
