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.

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.

Empire Exhibition, Scotland 1938

This time's architecture was the best. Disregard the circus stuff but look at the actual buildings.
After this came the war and the British Empire crumbled.
