Inspiration & Reference
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.

Yeah! 
That was one of the craziest!
there was a link in the comments on that blog (awesome find btw), apparently it's the house monument of the Bulgarian communist party:

"I will draw a huge, detailed and impossible city scape. Now... I can rest. No...wait... its missing something... ah! Yes, anime school girls within a millimeter of juicy pantie shots."

Might be petty but shit like that really takes me out of a picture. Not that western fantasy crap doesn't do it too. They draw a wonderful landscape, set a great atmosphere, then put in a crack-whore wearing what must be the world's most painful set of underwear.

Vote Giger etc etc.

Quoted for truth. I used to be rather fond of the Anime style until it started cropping up all over the place. A few months back I was searching for good tutorials on creating character concept art and 99% of my results pointed to shitty off-scale line drawings with tiny cheerleader uniforms and giant watery eyes. I also recently visited a primary school and as I walked down the main corridor all the art boards were covered with anime faces drawn by the six and seven year olds, so I guess we can expect the same rinse and repeat rubbish for another eighty years at least.
