mfx, you never did release your Honey tribute, did you? 

 

 

oh no, he borrowed from sock's modern approach to an e1m2 look. what a fucking scandal

always copy from those who came before you. just make sure you add your own personal touchs 

Shut up. 

Not trying to emulate Sock's work? 

Sink the floor and flood it, then nail some zombies to the wall. 

I'll redesign the room. 

I'll redesign the room. 

with making maps like Socks. He is a great mapper and copying is part of learning, plus if people think your maps look like his then you're making a good map! 

I like it! mfx was making a joke... 

 

and yes, looks good, of course... 

If Sock has a patent on wbrick1_5 with some white thrown in and a bunch of wood, then e1m2rq must be the biggest heist in history.

cough. 

even though I think the responses RoQ got were a bit asshole-ish, they did bring up a pretty interesting topic, style.

It's something I've been considering, like if I map in the future, I'd like to work in a totally different style. But style is interesting, I recall the term "negkeish" being used on here, lol, with all its (accurate) implications of impeccably detailed brushwork and mind games meant to torment us into rage quitting. 

Have some actual feedback:
The floor is a bit flat, and from this angle the room looks like it is essentially a rectangle. Does this lead anywhere? The stone-skull-slab to the left looks a bit odd being perfectly flush to the wall, perhaps pull it out slightly? Is there a reason the stained glass is there, and not centered in the wall? Does it serve a purpose?

Without any more context, I can't really say where you should go with the room. But do keep it up, I don't think you are "copying sock". I think like anyone you've seen some good work and it has got your mind going on a similar thread. I'm happy to see content that is so Quake oriented in its themes. 

 

It's a bit difficult figuring out what to do with the room... 

put it aside until later and see if it fits then 

so not that exciting, but still not nothing:

amazing! 

well, it's that or scrap the map and start over. 

My advice was serious.

Sink the floor.

Put a water brush there.

Put zombies on the wall.

This is irritating.
