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.

seen that site in a matte painting class - he's awesome. That pic made me immediately have to put on the blade runner soundtrack.

Scrawled on small post-it notes at work, over a period of a few weeks.

I use to do that all the time.

I esp like Ikka's Black Mariah on the sword page
