Conan:
I might be adding more to it in the next month or two, specifically on designing terrain and not just building it, as some have issues with this. For those who need immediate advice: don't get discouraged when something looks bad at first. Terrain is never a small-scale construction. Take your time and don't be afraid to create things that counter what I teach here in the guide. For every generalization for terrain there is at least one counter example.

Look forward to long term updates.

I read it again and now I felt like showing off some of my different terrains. Some of them you lacked I think.

These two are hanging waterfalls I guess? Both your waterfalls had a smoothing end and beginning which I didn't fully understand. Is this acceptable waterfalls? The one to the right is Ephi's.Excessive plate terrain. Not just flat.Semi-aligned cube cave. Floor and roof begins with a brick for more smoothness.Grass and rocks in the same style. Brick terrain.Non-aligned cubescaping. No filler bricks used.
Conan:
About time for its bump.

All are perfectly fine; I sloped out the waterfalls I put as examples since they hit rocks before entering the water.

The cave looks a bit odd; rather thin for one. Then again, that's how caves are, odd. Would be nice if there was a little more detail on both the walls and the ground sloping layer.

The brickscaping and platescaping are good but nothing remarkable about it as far as I can tell.

The unaligned cubescaping cliff looks remarkably detailed even for the lack of filler cubes. Are those 4x4's or 8x8 cubes?
Sleven:
Those are actually 16x cubes. ;)

And I really don't find an urge for filler cubes.

The [] is a 4x4 cube.
