shot 1 and 2 reminds me some Tomb Raider maps... looks cool ! 

those ruins are always cool, especially with the giant trees growing on them. 

i've wanted to do an angkor wat map for a while but i can never do the vegetation justice. :S 

This is because that place was actually used to shoot some scenes for the Tomb Raider movie. 

including some lesser seen wats, one of which has much more foliage than Ta Prohm. Also have plenty of shots of the Shining hotel from pic 4.

Will put them up when I eventually sort out my japan photos and combine them with my sth america ones. Need to look into some free hosting too as there's a lot of photos. 

I was refering to Tomb Raider 2, not the movie :P

Anyway, thanks for the info ;) 

let me emphasize once more how awesome this is.

Make you feel cold just by looking at it 

That's a pretty good snow-themed TF2 resource as well (hint hint, cardo, hint) 

And, err, some sci-fi things!

Things!

just found that blog a couple days ago, it's pretty cool. 

I was just watching Le Roi et l'oiseau on youtube and it has some really nice exaggerated castle designs

i forgot how smooth the old animations used to be. that looks like 60fps there. 

just watched that whole movie. Love the illustration style, the colors, the lighting, the composition, etc. Feels very mid-twentieth-century, sort of reminicent of Salvador Dali, the Jetsons, etc. 

does anyone know what the dome like structures are that were designed to alert the mainlands of sea battles (or was it to other way around?) i want to say they are in maybe southern Europe perhaps?

if someone could help me recall and maybe include images that would be great, google is no help when you cant remember the names of things :/ 

I believe you're thinking of a "cloche" ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maginot_line#Armoured_cloches
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFM_cloche 

i don't think they were turrets of any kind, perhaps i explained it wrong. they are dome shaped and meant for bouncing sound waves (i think i forgot that crucial part in the initial post :S) they're kind of satellite dish looking, but are not satellites like the radio signal space thing in Puerto Rico. there like sideways, err maybe to be described as north or west hemisphere?

those things are interesting though, remind me of that paplon (or whatever, butterfly in french) movie
