WT 77 - The River Styx

04-07-2008, 01:19 AM

The river cleaved through the blasted lands, foam spraying and smashing against the barren mountains on either side, intent on one thing and one thing only--the giant skull of an ancient beast beaten flat into the ground. Its water seemed to be of a ghostly material--not quite water, but something entirely different, something completely alien. It sent a chill down the gunslinger's spine as he inspected the river a few feet away. As he took a wary step forward, the river suddenly groaned, liquid heaving, and the gunslinger saw for the first time what was truly encased beneath the raging waters. Countless millions of faces moaned, drowned in malice, as their amorphous hands reached and clawed and scrabbled for the gunslinger's feet. But none could reach; they were all swept away through the skull's mouth and under to the underworld.

Rising_Dusk	Wicked theme, I can't wait to see what 2P whips up for this, even in 5 minutes he creates sex in screenshot form.

Rising_Dusk	As far as I know, that might be true. I naturally default to male if I don't know any different.

Must be the picachu(how ever the hell you spell it)

Oh yeah guys, this question probably belongs in another thread, but... I just felt it would waste thread space or something...

anyway here it is, how do I make a rock... go up side down(yeah that probably sounds lame)

If I remember you use WE_no_limits, but it's not working, so any ideas or...

Please don't double post. As for you terrain, I think it's good, but try varying up the rocks more, take some of the pointy spires out for rock chunks or something of the sort.

These are severely WIP. I know trees are floating, the light isn't properly tinted, and map edges are showing. I'm just attempting to create a nice atmosphere at the moment.

Sabertooth_X	Keep the WE picture, Anti-Saint. THEN screenshot it, and crop the picture so only the actual picture shows. Thats what I do, and I think in this case here it'll help it look a bunch better :D
