Map Battle 15: All wet [New Deadline]

[Steaky]

Alright, here are my final images. They're far less than what I was hopping for, but between uni starting up again, and huge problems with my props dissapearing, this is what I came out with.

P.S. No colour correction here. Coloured lights FTW!





Edit: Everyone elses lookes amazing, I'm especially a fan of your 'elf house' Jest. Best of luck to everyone come voting, and happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

So, Jesus Christ there's some sweet, sweet stuff going on here.

First, Something, this really pulled together well. I love the way the architecture is done and I really think you nailed the atmosphere. I think my only not-thrilled thing is the lighting is a tad off. Just a tad. Great, great stuff though.

Jake: those cliffs are amazing and I LOVE that skybox. Only crit? I can tell you don't have an amazing digital cam because the clouds have an interesting pixelization going on. You always turn in top, top notch stuff.

Jest@: Holy god this is great. I really, really, really love that hut. I do wish you had a chance to do the inside as well as fix the water and add a better background (the section with the tree seems to be floating). Nice use of color correction as well, it really fits the mood.

Steaky: You make some really, really wierd stuff, and I really like that. It's so bright and colorful and over the top. I really, really love the first pic, I love the sky, and I love the main building architecture. The samll building in the second pic and the dark room in the 3rd pic are a tiny bit off in terms of color and seeming believable. That being said, I really like the different take that you've added.

lastly, Bad-Robot: Thank you for opening our eyes to color correction in these things. I fooled around with the beta when it was released for cs:s, but had forgotten about it, and that was a horrible, horrible mistake. I really like the strange architecture, I love your displacements and you really, really did a great job with unique lighting and manipulating the color. Sheer beauty.

This is a very, very, very wonderful competition, great stuff guys.

I'm saddened that I couldn't be with the rest of you, because of my map having that wierd error and then getting deleted. But I'm sure if I did, I would be the bottom feeder; there's no fucking way I could ever level up to those like Jake and Steaky...
