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.

Reminds me of the Ghast description some. The Fiend's original inspiration.

Although - the Fiend has a cock now?

The fiend's always had a cock.

It was eyes he didn't have.

Of Course He Has Eyes

And if he's got a cock then he gets an extra one, with a racial epithet.

Actually

Now that I think of it, the shambler should have a cock. I mean, He's a 12 foot tall yeti. And the yeti are known for their extravagantly large penises, am I right?
It would definitely make the dude more intimidating.

It would definitely make the dude more intimidating.

cause it would be at head height for the quake guy? o.0

Keep going with the posts.

The Other Stuff As Well

Everyone is posting clever stuff that's worth thinking about recently.

Or maybe just my impression and I've been stupid-er for years.

loved those Quake monster concept re-designs posted in #1437 - some are really different but there's a load of good ideas, especially liking the knights and the ogre.

I'm Sure You All Know About This

Spent a good half hour going through the Cantabria region of Spain - so many awesome pics.

The latest MtG expansion, Rise of the Eldrazi, has a lot of cool Cthulhuish creatures and some really awesome labyrinth/dungeon designs.

Somebody else on this board likes magic, heh.

Check this out, some of the same pictures, but uber high res:

Also worth noting is my favorite magic artist, Mark Tedin: http://marktedin.com/home.html
I find some of his concept art very "Quakey" - large scale, polygonal, cyclopean, with good textural detail.
