I wonder how this would look for [Kona]...

I've tried to make brick pillars similar to that in quake, alas, it doesn't look good. 

Trust me, it really doesn't look good even in that reference image, such a weird shapes.

Cool looking house, but it looks out of place in that photo. 

Someone gave me a wetransfer link at work and the background image on the download page just happened to be this:

That led me to find this artist:

That's some neat stuff, I really like the layout of this person's work! 

thx! 

Interesting... not sure about his backgrounds, though. In the pic you linked, I love the stairs that lead nowhere, near the bottom left.

I clicked a thing, then found related searches and wound up with this epicness:

Here's the portfolio of a guy who replied to the original ad from the latest post in the Jobs thread: https://www.artstation.com/artist/malex
He makes beautiful stuff and some of it feels very quakey. 

I just deleted 75% of the map I am working on and because of it I now have more motivation and confidence to create exactly what I have in my head.

I believe Necros said that iteration is a necessary evil in map design and sometimes that problem is the very thing you do not want to remove. You scratch in every place but the actual source.

I had a huge central landmark that I was initially happy about. Since I spent so much time on it, I was stubborn on modifying it and tried to build my map based around said landmark. It resulted in numerous uninspired rooms connected to said structure.

Inspiration can come from a blank slate, a more refined outlook on your projected visions for a design. Sometimes you have to scratch that itch directly at the source and then some! 

I know the feeling. As a composer, I have more unfinished bits and pieces than actual listenable tracks. Don't throw that landmark away, though: it's very possible that at a later date you'll find the inspiration that presently eludes you. I have some stuff based on very old ideas that I couldn't resign myself to throw in the bin.
