Preview of Mountain Graphics

Posted by: eoc
Heya,
few days later we can proudly present manthus' current mountain assets. No need to spam you with text, here they are:

Now we again need your help, and this time there is no excuses (-;
- How do you like them at all?
- What could be improved, what do you want to be kept?
- If you had to choose one (brown or grey), which one would you use and why?
Our forums are open for comments (even without registration) as well as we are happy if you visit us on IRC!
If you now decide that you want to help us creating more graphics, working together with such a great artist, the previous news entry still tells you how to do so :)
Your team of Unknown Horizons
Great work!

Maybe you can make the wood of the mine self a bit darker, so it has a more used look... but all in all a very good work :)

i like the grey more but both looks a bit like plastic.
more details would be nice with snow on top and more trees...
in game?

Hey, I'm glad you have nicer mountains!
I need to see them in-game to make a judgement though.

They're pretty good, but there's always room for improvement, and since you ask:
First, I'd fix the "background" texture of the hills, the one underneath the "detail" lines. The colours look very blurry and with smooth edges, not like you'd expect a hill to look, if you get my meaning.
Second: the lighting could be more emphasised, right now the hills look pretty uniform in colour, I'd expect more contrast between light and shade according to the direction of the sun.
If I had to choose, I'd choose brown, simply because in real life you wouldn't expect huge gray rocks to sharply rise from the ground like this, they'd only be there at the tops of mountains. Brown earth is more plausible.
There, if you don't like my thoughts, you have only yourself to blame now.
Great
