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.

Click the "I" tab at the bottom of the screen, then select "view fullsize". The pic opens up in a new browser window. Whee!

Thanks Mate!

whats that little bastard got to cheer about, he looks the the bastard child of a hula dancer and a orange elephant! :)

In April 1998, an aggressive creature named Tyson smashed through the quarter-inch-thick glass wall of his cell. He was soon subdued by nervous attendants and moved to a more secure facility in Great Yarmouth.

So that little bastard has one of the fastest punches in nature. Plus it can see and differentiate circularly polarized light, even clockwise and anticlockwise. You can't do either of those. Among many other things.

Looks Like Dougle

Awesome movie.

I have both those artbooks, with all the scenery sketches and paintings, amazing work, and very inspirational, 100+ pages of that kind of art in both of them.

More...

#1004 posted by bal on 2008/04/22 11:37:24

The second artbook is full of sketches like this: http://born-robotic.net/stuff/tekkonkinkreet.jpg
Which are also amazing.

Both

extreme talent, extreme ambition. And diligence.
I don't know that movie but some anime things really go the extra mile in detail, something that is practically never seen in "for kids" western animation.

Well...

#1006 posted by bal on 2008/04/22 16:00:26

In the 'west', Pixar definitely go that extra mile too.
