Picture one has too many un-needed sprites, Mainly the fountain type ruin ones covering up the edges... Also the bridge terrain to high dirt doesnt match at all. Pictures 2 and 3 are just mirrored...

Picture 4, cut back on tree sprites... and yet again, the bridge terrain doesn't match with the high dirt...

Five, way too many sprites, makes it look ugly.
Overall Blending +3
Mirrors -2
Sprites -3
Blockiness -2
Total: 6/10

Thanks Pyro.
My comments:
I like sprites. I really do. I love to place them and just go crazy with them. Isnt always the best thing to do i admit, but its just my style. The mirrors are there because i couldnt find another blend, but ill keep that in mind on my next piece.
Thanks again.

I'm no terrain expert, but I can still do a good review.\

On the actual terrain, I gotta admit it's too square, like straight lines. Some of it seems a bit too symmetrical. There's a bit of a square area at the side of one of the pictures.

Its another f-ing jungle terrain. Jungle is not impressive anymore. Besides my biased against jungle terrain, i don't think its anything worth "wowing" over.

I'd give it... um... a few points... like 1 or 2 out of 10.

That's what I said, but I was criticized how it wasn't exhausted over... I haven't seen a desert, snow, ash, or twilight terrain in forever.

Dark Templar, i dont think giving me a low rating because jungle is popular is a good reason.

Laser, im currently working on it. =/

You have to learn to put that down.

Overall: 6/10

Don't go crazy with the sprites. Just a put a few there and a few here, not everywhere =o [ Even though it's your thing =/ ] And don't use mirrors =/

Another thing, you went WAY overboard with the bridge terrain. When blending high to low, you pretty much only used one tile... At least put some effort into it and use high to low grass or something... The bridge terrain is too repititious.

Doing high to low dirt blending in my mind has 3 ways:
Bridge tiles
Grass tiles
Making normal dirt cliffs

Ive been trying grass, but its so blocky right now i dont want to submit anything, and i am horrible at multiple cliff layers, so until i get comfortable with it, this is what i got.

You have to work at it to be good. It may look blocky at first so just touch it up a bit and you should be fine. Pratice makes perfect.

i have a desert terrain in the ladder under my name. And you'll see a good Snow Blend when wooden updates the ladder. I'm currently working on twilight terrain for the ladder and soon i'll be moving on to ash.

Very unnatural terrain, a lot of useless sprites, and mirrors.

And to dark_templar, there are still blends in the jungle terrain that people haven't found. There are millions over millions of ways you can arrange those blends to make a scene. Rate something for what it is. What has been done before shouldn't be a factor.

its hard i have that problem too.

1st-3/10 I like the bridge bit, but its too symmetrical.
2nd-6/10 cool cliff part but the ground is in straight lines

3rd-5/10 kinda same as before but an even better cliff. use different rock doodles.
4th- 7/10 my favorite looks ok with a staright line for ground, kinda like a balcony, maby take the sprites off the cliff.
5th-7/10 cool but repetitive, i dont know why but it seems boring, maby some add thing in the water?
