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 this book cover, one of the cooler/creepier images I've seen, a real 'ends of the earth' feel:

HPL Commonplace Book

this looks awesome:

"This book consists of ideas, images, & quotations hastily jotted down for possible future use in weird fiction. Very few are actually developed plots�for the most part they are merely suggestions or random impressions designed to set the memory or imagination working. Their sources are various�dreams, things read, casual incidents, idle conceptions, & so on.
�H. P. Lovecraft"

This is so delicious that I might actually be inspired to lay a few brushes:

Reminds me a good bit of Piranesi, but I think it is a modern work.

Above Website Doesn't Seem To Like External Linking
