Ashenvale Blackwoods.

Informations :​

Ashenvale Forest, is a wilderness region on the west of Avlee territory which was possesed by Elves for thousand of years. In recent days, the elves have encountered immense difficulty in holding their lands within Ashenvale. Forest is full of ancient trees, teeming with life. Is also a home for population of elves and animals like deers, grizzly bears, great cats, wolves, rabbits, rats and other wild beasts. Though pockets of the forest have become tainted, overall the area is a place of deep magic and spiritual connection with nature. Several lakes and beautiful waterfalls are sheltered beneath the forest's boughs. Ashenvale is bordered by mountains to the east, and more forest to the north and west. The ancients and elves guards Ashenvale wilderness with constant patrols. Any who threaten the forest - cutting down live trees, poaching beasts of the forest - are met with the ancients powerful attacks and the elvish archers deadly arrows.​

Project :​

In the middle of the forest - adventurer will find a lot of magical places, elvish bases and cities, ally human hunters camps, caves filled with wild beasts and underground tunnels. Almost whole map will be filled with many complex structures of plants and trees. In the hunters bases - adventurer will be able to starts few hunting and herbalist quests like, for example : collecting meat and skins of animals for local hunters, collecting herbs and making mixtures, defend camps from elvish patrols and animal attacks. In this thread I will mostly present photos of growing project in form of mapping showoff. ​

Seen this style too many times before, Altho its nice It could have been done better.

Well. Don't take this as offensive - but I find your criticism empty. You haven't use any constructive argument. What could I done better, and what do you mean by "this" style?

Keep in mind that Ashenvale is my very first map from a really long time. I hope I will get used to new map editor soon (never used RME before). I'm not saying that I'm going to improve greatly - but I think Im gonna figure out something innovative soon (using that style) I find creating maps really enjoyable - that's what most important.

Very well said.

I like the first picture dude, I'm just not a fan of that dark green grass for a jungle. I find it more attractive in a garden, since it looks to get taken care of. Haven't mapped much jungles, but my personal favorite is this.

Good luck with this

Really nice

It's Good... I think it's well done as a camp, and considering the argument of the map...

Some tips: You could put some dirt also, mixed with the cave ground and some "light dirt", would look good too. Another thing, play more with shape of the paths, and vary that border of grass ground. Just that. Good luck

You successfully killed the bear in your own server!

I know it's meant to be some sort of forest but damn thats spammed.

Nature is spammed

Doesn't make it looking good.
I don't like it, mainly because I don't like dark grass in big areas and neither too much of the big tufts

Well. I can't make everyone satisfied, do I? Anyway - thanks for comments. I understand that different people likes different things.

I still love my Ashenvale for example

Love it, Keep working on it!

Looking good!
