Its not finished yet!
I know, its not perfect, but im proud

You need more plateus on the plateus Also you've to strong texture opacity on your rock.

[Nekatus]

okey thank you ^^
but i dont know the technique of this mountains, so i dont know how i do it best

[fearless_wind]

We can talk in skype and I can expain you some basics about mountains creation.

[Nekatus]

sure
add me on skype: Nekatus

I think it have a very nice and interesting different look. Oike it much.
Just as said aready more texture opercity differences. And add some vegetation on top and green textures.

Dont here tomuch in this time about others tipps about how it is right.
Else you will perhaps loose your own style

Finish it and show again. Would love to see it finished.

Hey, this is not so bad !  
With a better texture work it could look like the Howling Fjord !
Maybe the road is kind of hazardous and really hard to take, but this is a good beginning.  

 Here have a screen of the kind of mountains I am working on now.

 It's not the same style at all, but it might give you some ideas about how you could work your mountains !

[fearless_wind]

Allifeur, it looks great. Can you explain a way you do this? (Seems like Northrend big alpha texturing for me).

It looks great now, but still not perfect. Add some dirt to mountains and a groundeffects set to grass. Spawn trees with random size and rotation/tilt. Hope to see the progress.

[Nekatus]

Groundeffects are coming and ill spawn a few rocks and other trees ^^

[Steff]

And details.  Bush,  mushroms,  small stones or flowers.
Many of them;)

[Nekatus]

Today i will spawn the mushrooms etc then i post more pictures.

[Nekatus]

So heres the result of my work today.

Well, it was inspired from Gilneas mountains style, but with some modifications in order to make something less usual.  :roll:
I used the flatener tool in order to make angular platforms. Then I drawed black lines with a low diameter in order to make the top and the base of the rock more obvious, I also make a separation between several "blocks" this way. I used a less powerfull pressure in order to make the lower part and the upper part darker. Only the center is clear. For the "flater" part, i play with textures in order to make a variation of colors. I generaly make some kinds of circles with a low opacity. Then I add the sand and sometimes I make it fall over the rock, adding some relief.

@ Nekatus : You should play more with the dirtiness of your textures.


Zoom the picture, and look at how the textures are made. They are not as clean as yours.
There is also something missing with your grass I guess...
