Critique on my detail contest map.

use these commands when taking screenshots.
As for the map itself I think your relying on props too much and should work on brush work. Try adding a few stories on the building, with windows and various other details. Adding a counter or market of some sort will add more detail to the front of the building.
Take a look at koth_king and get some ideas and inspiration from it (seeing as though it meets with your map style thus far and is one of the most detailed maps ive seen.

I didn't really think about doing all that for a screenshot, I will next time though!
I also love props, as you can tell but this is just the rough work.. I'll be adding windows. I think I'm going to rely on the one room, with windows to look outside.. so the player never knows how big the area is. But I will be adding a bit more details. The room isn't even done obviously, I'm going to make it a sort of super-market with a backstory.
Cheers! D:
Right now your construction makes no sense to me at all. I cant see what its supposed to be. Try coming up with an idea (could be a church from the inside or a shipwrecn in a glacial crevasse - the possibilities are endless!) and then sculpt it out using both brushwork and props. Merely building without planning ahead rarely produces sceneries any better than mediocre
