Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

His perspective looks a bit off on the Coliseum. :D
(Great sketching otherwise.)

INK FTW!

Wish this could be done faithfully in-engine.

I don't want the detail, I don't want the high resolution. I just want atmospheric fog.

Leave everything else at blocky Quake resolution and limits and give me glowing layers of fog.

Fuck Yeah

I can upload a huge collection of of his work (admittedly with some duplicate entries) if people are interested.

At Least One Of Those Pics Is Not Beksinski, But Wayne Barlowe

My barlowe & beksinski folder is an unlabelled mess, that's my bad.

"I can upload a huge collection of of his work (admittedly with some duplicate entries) if people are interested."

Beksinski is boner inducing stuff ... I have a few of his art books but I'd love to take a look at what you've got if you can host it somewhere.

Hope There's Some New Stuff There For You

2nd album has a bunch of dupes and non Beksinski but its still pretty neat stuff so I saw no reason not to include it.

Great Collection, Saving All These

only got into beksinski recently, long time fan of barlowe, though.

would like to find similar art/artists. there's giger, but, eh...

#3080 posted by Zwiffle on 2015/12/18 23:53:40

Kuksi is similar to giger/beksinski. I had a bunch of dark surreal art similar to these artists bookmarked somewhere.

^ Incredible

beksinski is like if giger were into images of religion and war-torn poland instead of spacedicks

A Sort Of Request

#3084 posted by Kinn on 2015/12/21 13:29:10

So, googling for the answer just throws up unhelpful rubbish so I'll ask here.

Here is a picture of part of Csesznek Castle in Hungary. See those wooden beams just sticking out of the walls, making it look like a gritty, next-gen version of KerPlunk?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/V%C3%A1rrom_%289806._sz%C3%A1m%C3%BA_m%C5%B1eml%C3%A9k%29_7.jpg

My question is: what the heck are those beams for, and is this an architectural feature that has a name?

I have a few guesses.

Could be simple rafters for some kind of awning. Or, could be reinforcing whatever interior structure's going on in there (like maybe a staircase?). OR, could be the remnants of a hourde: Scroll down to Hourdes

Also check out that cute picture of the dude sittin on the beam with a hammer.

oh god thank you so much for reminding me about liartown

Post #32474 has a passage about the tower (beginning with 'A falszoros d�lkeleti...'). It says the beams used to hold a hourde, as NarNar has guessed. The aricle was written by the author and has not been published (yet).
