Title: [PROJECT] Mountain Wu'dan
Post by: Nekatus on January 30, 2014, 08:31:22 pm

Hello modcraft community,


a few weeks ago i uploaded pictures of my mountain. I've got only earned good comments and the most people who commented my thread where interested in my work. So my idea is thread of my work progress.
I work a few days of week at my mountain so my objective is to upload every 1-2 weeks some pictures of my progress.
I hope a few people are interested to see my work progress.

So here the progress.

I like your enthusiasm, However the mountain texture work isn't working for me. It's novice quality, Often if i've been texturing for hours, and start slacking, I end up with similar dotty mountains, having to erase it and start over.

There's nowhere in the real world, where you find dotty mountains. WoW is a artistic representation of a real world. (graphically I mean).

Therefore you have to paint the content, as if it was a toony painting of a real mountain. Huge cliffs, spikey rocks, it's all welcome.

A good tip, is to take reference from the Blizzard artists, as they ARE some of the craziest game designers you can find.
