They are very nice screens, no offense, but I have to agree with Broozar here.
Yes, i Agree on both here as well.
Previously SC2 was an upgraded SC1, in which people also showed some awesome art (WIP art however), think about Frank, Andvari and Fuxerz.
With the new naming conventions i think Gallery could also show off early WIP, thus meaning showcase has become obsolete?
i vote for renaming them back to the old way (Showcase I and Showcase II), there has been a change to the names before (from showcase to a split up) to seperate better and finished projects from the wip's, i wouldnt see why changing this back again, makes this thread more valuable (besides polluting this with WIPS that just look good).
@ topic, yes, looks good for a beginning, but add shadows, some variation in the environment (rocks, mushrooms, small animals).
And remove the Palm trees, Pinetrees and Palmtrees dont live together as far as i know (outside the X-mas season that is).
EDIT: the ground is way too repetetive and scaled too big imho too, add some variation. use a multi-texture shader, and make a difference between grass and sand soil! that would be a great start (makes sure there is no stretching that way as well
).
good luck!
