This is my entry for the Mapcore Exotic Places Mapping Contest 19/20. My map is called Hideout, and it is set on a Malaysian facility, where the workers are being oppressed.
Graybox version here.

Imgur album right there.
Detail progress. Only a few months until the deadline hits!!!
I made an image slider to showcase the detail work on Middle! Check it out 
i think it looks a little bit to clean but other than that its very fresh looking!
More progress, I guess. I've detailed around 65-70% of the map with a month left! I'm trying to finish this project on time, or at least get it to a playable state ?
looks great, like the lightning and athmosphere
Very cool stuff.

Use that with some displacements and you can make very realistic looking tarp very easily. You're using cobble's grass/dirt blend. It's fine, but there are a lot of 4-way-blends from hr_massive that you should check out, they might really work with your theme better. The lighting on every foliage prop in the map looks out of place. You should check out some different foliage lighting settings. I like to just take every foliage prop, put them into a new map file with some ground beneath them and then copy paste them into multiple sets that I can compile all at once with different lighting settings. Different props really look better on different settings and it's hard to know those settings without some testing.
Thank you Tynnyri! I will take all of those things into consideration. A few things though - I am not using a lot of un-hr textures. In fact, I think there might be only a few, and I'll get rid of them soon. And for the cobble grass blend, no, I am not using that texture xd. I am using a hr_massive texture there. I'll try to fix the lighting on the foliage.
Here are some of the final pictures that I have for you guys. I think I might JUST finish the playable space before the deadline, but I've got doubts about that. The map is currently not as polished as I want it to be, but I'm mostly happy with what I've got in my hand for now. This is the final push!
Looks great, really well made!
But there's a lot of black lightning under things, you can try fix it by increasing the lightmap scale or changing it to a displacement
