I don't know if this the right place for this, but I wanted to see what people thought before I continued. As this is truly an exhausting process, and I guess it qualifies as map art.

This is exactly the right place for that. That kind of texturing effort definitely qualifies for map art.

Edit: found out there's a limit as to how many pics one post can contain. Too bad i didn't reserve the first post to include more.

I removed my own collection in the OP in order to fit the best of the best and future artists.
Putting it here:

This morning I decided to randomly select texture combinations and see what I could do with them. It's pretty fun. Nothing too detailed but I got some cool fresh-feeling themes.

(I randomly selected all 8 textures to use for each of these.)

This is also including some of the hots assets available in beta. Can't wait to see all the stuff that comes with release.

the 4th and 5th are pretty cool and have a lot of potential,

side note - is anyone else REALLY dissapointed with the textures from hots? like they dont even look that different besides the starwars one.

from vanilla to broodwar was like OH SHIT TAR DESERT!! SNOW OMG!!! DARK PURPLE COLD ALIEN WORLD BLARR. most of what i see now is, oh slightly different looking plains here and stuff.

No. At least, not me.

The new textures do 2 things:

1) Explore themes that haven't been done yet, as well as doing old ones better.

2) They have better quality, and a nicer overall look to them.

Also, most of the tilesets are put together really well, and can yield awesome results if you play around with them a bit. The Korhal City tileset, for instance, lets you mix the different tiles together to create any number of patterns, no other tileset does this. Look into them, and play around with them, and then you start to figure out what makes them so good.

The new textures are certainly great. I think, other than the korhal ones, and I guess the ice one to some extend since we had niflheim, they all feel new and fresh. Maybe not as mind-blowing as the added tilesets in BW, but that's because so much was already explored in WoL. I'm quite happy about all the new textures, and I think most of the ones which seem a lot like old ones are still improvements or good additions.

Of course there's still a ton of new textures that aren't available yet, as well.

Exactly, look at the campaign trailer and their New Art Demo video. Both show some really cool tilesets.

Well, they are actually listed in the editor, but they didn't include any assets in the beta client that weren't in the beta map pool, probably to keep the download size small. But we can see the names of the textures and tilesets, as well as a bunch of doodads.

Not quite as beautiful as eTcetRa's stuff, but here's a kind of dreary city landscape I'm working for a custom game.

Putting such awesome map art here is cool and all, but how about using it in some map? It is a shame that only the select few that visit these forums will see it, so how about making a map, be it melee, a RPG or something, and include that research center in it?
