Ariaka from the future. 'Cuz i felt teh need to get artistic xD Can somebody gimme a PM tutorial on how to do shades on the face? I did the 'hair' and neck with gradient but i guess that won't work on any more complex shape xD

Original lineart (Which i had to basically redo cuz it's a sucy paper scan T_T):

I would sugest having a deaper shadows on that "hair" ( have in mind where the light sources are and how strong/ direct it is), you can hardly see it.

For the face... If the lih source is right in front where the viewer is then you would see a bit of shadow around the side of the cheaks and maybe a bit around the eyes under the eyebrows. Maybe put the shadows in a formation something like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Congdon-headshot.PNG
(note: copy and paste that whole last line. I'm on my ipad and it doesn't work exactly like q computer.)

I challenge all the artists (and internet surfers) to make/find really good representations for some key landmarks in DE. might be fun

Eh couldn't really find any pics of the Ancient Tree so I looked to Darksiders 2. 3.bp.blogspot.com/-nbYSavMHy38/UDvgHWz7B_I/AAAAAAAAB8s/3Z3RblnBYvw/s1600/Darksiders+2+Tri-Forge+Tree+of+Life+0+AA+FXAA+Enabled.jpg The tree is in the top left of the pic.

Hey what about these Hot Springs? chzgetaway.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/vacation-travel-photos-natural-hot-springs-china.jpg The Jana Hot Springs sort of separate the lava lands from a lushes forest! I'm sure that there is no snow in the area period, but I could be wrong!

okay i found two images for tera falls the first one is what it looks like flying over. fc07.deviantart.net/fs14/f/2007/083/c/e/waterfall_by_pharaohsgirl.jpg
and this is what a section looks like looking kind of out of a cave or on the ground.

[Midnightmoon]

These are the ones i personally like (just my opinion)

Terra Falls: th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/333/8/e/misty_waterfall_by_klontak-d4ekkm8.png (not the sky veiw because the atmosphere is completely different i think)
Incinerated Plains: cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2012/01/10861c7abdd86fdb036d99111202342a.jpg
Antient Tree: would be a cross between the two suplied, the general design of saphira's but the colouring/ tones/ hues of zeths.
Battle Arena: fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/233/5/0/daf__adysia_arena_by_tooaya-d47d39s.jpg i think that this better suits this years contests. With all the details everyones giving it's great.

(note again this is just personal opinion)
