The last Map Reworks - my visual ideas
Dear People of the Fog,
if I'm not mistaken, the only 2 realms left for a rework are Red Forest and Swamp.
For swamp, I think a bit of this painting from Anton Mauve:
Just maybe a bit darker and with a bit more fog and some trees, but with the same color scheme. I really like the small pools of water here and I would love it, to have this in game.
For the Red Forest, my idea is maybe a bit controversial. You see, the name "Red Forest" has its origin in the disaster of Tchernobyl, when the neighbouring forest was hit by the fallout and the pine trees died, causing the red color. Now the Huntress was taken during the 1st World War, about 60 years prior, when the "Red Forest" did not exist with this name. [ Plague's Temple is also put here by the Entity for some unknown reason (RL reason: new map, but existing realm).] One part of horror still missing in DBD imo is stuff that you can't see and radiation belongs definitely in this category.
For this rework I thought of emphazising the meaning behind Red Forest more. In my inner eye I see half of the map with a thick but living forest, the other half with dying (pine) trees. Maybe also add some "weird" looking stuff (a certain 3 eyed horse would fit well). You could also interprete this as the Entity mocking the Huntress. Like: "Look what you home has become. That beautiful forest has become a place of death."
Maybe a bit like this screenshot from Fallout 4 but more in the red/brown color scheme:
But I can really understand if you don't want to go this direction for the Red Forest in respect to those who suffered and still suffer because of the disaster all those years ago or because of the curent political situation in eastern Europe. Or maybe you will do it for that exact reason. For an Eternal Memory of these people.
Edit: Here is that F4 screenshot whith the color scheme I meant. It doesn't look as good as I want, but that's the closest I could do.

I like the current look of the red forest and swamp, I just think they could give it a little polish and add some "breakable walls" that the devs love when rework old maps.
This more green look in the last photo (middle) I wanted it to be a new map, just like sadako's lobby when she came to the game, a kind of swamp with another name and a well in the middle.
As for the first photo of the orange/yellowish, the maps of the farm and the salon are enough, I'm not a big fan (and there's the map of artist too)

That Sadako background should be part of a Swamp map maybe. I mean there are already areas with trees, so this would be cool too.

I really loved that lobby as soon as it came to the game, but I don't think it would fit well as one of the swamp maps because the design is more green, and besides the well, they could add the lighthouse, would be so good being able to explore these structures with loops as survivor/killer.

I thought a while about what you said about the middle picture and yes, this particular atmosphere would be cool for a new map. I always had the idea of including radiation as horror element to dbd (also with an original killer) but I never had the courage to do so, since the disasters are still in people's minds.
