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.

that kind of style would be extremely hard to do with 3d graphics. Since modeling's mostly limited to the axis of more cheese or less cheese, especially when animated. Ok, kidding slightly with the last sentence.

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.
