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.

I Love Fog...

I was walking to work today, from service station. Different route than I usually go (by car) and I stumbled across this piece of concrete, covered with fog: http://khreathor.xyz/photos/concrete_fog_01.jpg

Buildings On Bridges

Now I see where they got the idea for Kaldwin's Bridge.

Might also be a great idea for a Quake map.

Brutalist Lovecraftian Landscapes

#3663 posted by Killes on 2016/11/20 18:32:40

So, I was perusing some brutalist architecture and it somehow struck me as something that could fit quake 1 quite well, maybe applied to the idea of the ruins of the monolithic alien city in At The Mountains of Madness...

Artists interpretations of this city :

http://bit.ly/2gbhHdQ
http://bit.ly/2fdGZFP

and now the relevant barren cold brutalism :

http://bit.ly/2gaKxLI
http://bit.ly/2gyiTeZ
http://bit.ly/2fuwsXY

I can well envision being chased by fiends through such a landscape.

The simplicity of the brushwork could be a good base for a quick jam ?

Pic #3 looks awesome! #1 looks like one of these 1970's video effects where one half of the image is mirrored on the other half, except someone really built this.

Sand Castles

Those are giving me great ideas for a R'lyeh map I intend to make in the future.
