While mine may not have the most blends, SEN NEEDS CHANGES! Vote zany, for having a point to his terrain, for showing you how to play hockey SC styles, and for DEMOCRACY!

Yoshi has atmosphere but Krayzee went above and beyond.

GL Kray.

Yoshi's is, I think, the most creative of them all, also it has atmosphere and isn't just random normal terrain. The placement and use of the trees is pretty spooky, and of course the small entrance into the grave adds a nice effect. The size of the terrain also can benefit it, seeing as the terrain isn't too crowded.

Kray's second one has a cool aqua-y feeling about it, and the bridge is pretty sweet along with the border around the islands. And how it transfers from blue terrain to gray terrain at points. The first map felt kind of crowded to me, except I liked the shore lines and the small area of water in the middle.

In the end, I went with Yoshi's

Yoshi's atmosphere made me vote for it (but also the blend itself is very very great).
Though I nearly voted for FlashBeer's because I really liked his blends

Raccoon, it's not about how crowded the terrain is or not, the theme is "Let's take the time to explore the other tilesets available to you that contain so many untapped blends and concepts just waiting to emerge!", who said anything about it being too crowded is a bad thing? It sounds like you are biased.

But hey, it's your opinion, I can't affect that but simply to respond to you since I take that as a personal insult.

I think crowded-ness affects the quality of the terrain.

Alright, I had quit SEN, but someone told me about this, and I have to say, you are the biggest disgrace to the terraining forums I have ever seen. ALL Yoshi did was add a few sprites here and there, meanwhile KrayZee showed transitions I have never seen in my life, and they look good! He made it crowded to show off a number of blends, something you failed to realize because you see a few sprites in ashland, hell, even I could do that.

And I wonder why I left this community

I think the quality of the blends effects the merit of the submission.

Not to be biased or anything, but I think KrayZee deserves to win. This is a democracy though, and I'm not going to cast a vote. I'll let you guys choose. Also, stop the minor flaming, Deathman101. If he likes Yoshi's piece more than any others then so be it.

Aw, I was actually going to enter but I didn't have time until today to make a piece and I get home and it's done.

Anyway, krayzee all the way.

Aww, but KrayZee sux!

Here is another picture of the terrain map I submitted in the other contest topic. The inverted staircase at the top left was copied and pasted from a different part of the same map.

Omgosh, FlashBeer should win for that, revote plz!

As cool as that looks, he submitted it late. Only vote for a participant's terrain that was submitted before the deadline.

Just because Yoshi's terrain wasn't hard to make, doesn't mean it is bad..

Not technically, The picture posted, was in the terrain map I submitted before the deadline. Not many people bothered to look at the map.

Voted Krayzee for epic ice blends. Flashbeer I would vote for 2nd place.

Crowdedness is infact a LARGE part of terrain, one of the reasons a lot of people disliked Crescent Dyne. If you think otherwise then you, my friend, are the disgrace to terrain. Everything has a part in terrain just like everything has a part in a complete map. Sprite placement is important, so is terrain. If you can accomplish something that looks good and is useable in a map (Not just crashing sprites or dissapearing, but mass use of regular sprites) but is focused on a relativley basic concept, why not do so

On another note, Krayzee submission has a very large amount of blocks, some of which look minor or are hard to see because all of his screenshots are taken from a very low percentage of zoom. Yoshi's and Krayzees terrain are much different in these submissions. Kraayzees aim as I see it, was to give examples of various blends of ice, some of which were already done, but most were his own creation. Yoshis piece was a scene like it would actually be in-game. Utilizing appealing sprite placement for a single concept. There's no need to bash him because his take was different then Krayzees.


No one said you had to stay.


I think theres more to terraining then a trigger happy mapper can see. Blends are of course important, and can arguabley be called the focal point of terraining. But creating a scene is important as well. If you're good at blends, maybe you're more of a brush person. But people like Woodenfire combined these elements, he was and is able to create ingenious blends while still placing them in a map or concept that fits.

Banned, I'm not going to believe this...


...until I see proof that it was done before.
