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.

That's Not 
HL2 concept art?

It's not easy having creative urges. Sometimes it's completely overwhelming. 
20 Years 
that's why we cant have nice things, and never ever will have. 
Love This! 
I wonder if there's a way of prototyping this kind of stuff?? Would it be worth doing for quake?

Certainly... but wide open areas take a long time to fullvis generally...

It's Doable 
Just use lots of detail brushes, and accept the fact that older PCs will choke.

To be fair it looks a bit less open and a lot less detailed than some of Tronyn's stuff. 
Drawing Lessons 
This is a site with free drawing lessons. It goes on a bit deeper than what the name suggests.

Doom Designer's Twitter Feed 
He has some Doom monster sketches and pictures of (physical) models on his feed.

Among other things, he designed the original Spider Mastermind. This is his WIP for 2016 remake he is making for "the pure joy of revisiting DOOM !"

Basic But Good Quake DM Maps? 
So, if you jump over on the mapping help thread, you can see that I have been asking lots of questions. In the end, I made a map. But, it's not very good. So, if someone could reference me some basic but good quake DM maps, that would be super helpful.

The Obvious Answer 
since it's remade in every arena shooter ever and is regarded as one of the greatest dm maps ever constructed : aerowalk!

Some other very good ones : ZTN series, dapak, plpak.

There are many more, but I don't really play Quake multiplayer so I've forgotten most of the names ;P 
Cont. 
The main goal I want to earn from this is learn overall level design, but I want the maps to be fairly simple so that I can understand how they work. If I ever become experienced enough, I'm going to make a Quake level design tutorial thing with documents and map segments to explain how these map segments work, and how they are effective in DM. There aren't many tutorials on map design (specifically for Quake 1), so I feel it might be a good idea. Of course, I'm not at that skill level yet, so it's gonna take a while.

Remember: Is it (areowalk) simple?
