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.

Yes that blog is cool.

#1040 posted by gone on 2008/06/10 21:50:47

is it just me, or most of the art is charachter-centered, while finding inspirational environment art is much harder

True...

#1041 posted by metlslime on 2008/06/10 22:34:16

plus, it's mostly chicks aged 18-24, and a smattering of weird monster characters...

few artists seem interested in painting men, old women, or children (unless they are disturbed and-or sexualized girls.)

These guys do have a lot of talent, though.

Excellent stuff, Lunarol.

If Stairs Are Suspense

then a ceiling fan is horror.
And couple em, you've got twin peaks. A girl told me she remembers only that from watching it as kid and it was a strong experience.

I Love Stairs.

Staris are like one of my fave tings to map in maps. I really have no idea, why -- but I always find them appealing in games, and even in architecture.
