i find for Pillars and towers 2 Pictures were nice.

newest earth is still cartoonish but i like it better than earth #2

omg earth #2 still has a leading vote wtf?!



how about something similar to Stonehenge instead? :-

[VacUmber]

i liked the design for  2 pillar more but liked the background for  3 i think they should be combined

[Scaredgirl]

I went with:

2
(3 is too cartooney)

3
(2 is ok too)

1
(3 if made look less like a small torch)

1
(others don't look like Pillars to me, and look too small because there's no point of reference in the background)


The problem with this poll is that players, especially young players, like new things. This is why results will always be skewed because some people go for new things just to see things change. I think current Pillar is a perfect example of this. The art is actually pretty cool and has much more detail than those other 2, but because it's "old", it gets destroyed in the vote.

Awesome. Get rid of the fire symbols in the third fire pillar and it's perfect. Loved the third life, too. It does need some forest. Now, I can see the third earth has an awesome concept which conveys just how massive it is, and that fits perfectly with earth. Unfortunately, it just doesn't look as good as earth 2.

i liked fire 3

[Arondight]

The only new one I voted for was Life 3 (which has had a great change). Earth 3 lacks texture, Fire 3 now looks like a torch with fire quantas jammed in there, Aether 3 looks like Aether 2 but sodomized with more depth from the background.

I like fire 3, much better than 2 as it looks more of a pillar now.

I agree with kobisjeruk Stonehenge inspired would be a good idea. I think that earth 3 is an improvement on 2 though 

[CB!]

The only one I voted for was life 3... Aether 2 would be OK if it was stretched a little more or did something to be a little more pillar-y...  Stone 1 and Fire 1 would be fine if the backgrounds were changed.

EDIT: BTW, I absolutely love how Zanz lets the community have as much input as we do...

I think most of the art has improved this time round.  Life 3 is definitely great now and fits in with the style of the other art.  Fire 3 and Aether 3 are improved I think but are "zoomed in" to the top of the "pillar" more so than the other pillar art which shows most, if not all of the pillar.  I think it could be improved if you "zoomed out" and showed more of the pillar.




With the fire pillar, I agree with everyone else that you should get rid of the Fire marks since no other pillar has them.  With the earth 2, I think it could be improved if it was bulked up and shaded more.  Most of the art leans toward a darker look.

Earth 2 and 3 are fine for me, I like them both. Life 3 and fire 3 are very "towery" and beautiful. Aether should stay the original design IMO as an homage.

[Marvaddin]

2 cents: I also like Fire 3 without the marks, but I would suggest replace them for flames instead of just remove them. Earth 3 is really cartoon like. It has an white aura around it, and its surface looks so... well, I missed the English word, but it looks like a mirror more than rocks. Still dont like too much Aether 3.

Edit: no way to add the planet like aspect to sphere in new Gravity pillar?
