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.

Skin isn't flesh though (sorry)

A book bound in flesh (i.e. muscle and fat) sounds even more gross though.

Sounds like an idea for a new knave-themed monster... bookworms... ?

Could be monster_demon2, 3 etc.

Although the one with it's balls hanging off its face looks a bit suspect.

I saw those the other day and for some reason assumed I had gotten the link here, thus didn't post.

Reminds me of Rome, in an oblique way.

Still pretty awesome though

It is more impressive if you have played with this toy or other similar when a child.

I would like to see the city where this toothpick modeler lives, that's is some peculiar layout and architecture for a city.

Traditional painting, robots mixed with rural 80's realism:

Photos Of The Inside Of Instruments

#2262 posted by metlslime on 2014/04/16 09:38:58

Kind of quakey, in that these are atmospheric and otherworldly interior spaces with no apparent human purpose. What unknowable creatures lurk down long brass tunnels with looming cyclopean valves?

These are really good. The second photo (inside the guitar) reminded me instantly of one of the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona where there is lots of plain brick-work, with corballing and fluting, and curves and stuff, and effective natural lighting shining through small openings.

On a photographic level these are inspiring. Nice find.
