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.

I found this link in a post of yours,

But I assure you that is not Albany, NY - Albany is 250 miles inland!

Pretty cool what water can do to sedimentary rock!

Albany Somewhere Then! :P

Fingers must have an awesome brain to be able to just churn out stuff like that. It would take me a day to come up with one of those i think.

Thanks Again

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

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

I would just like to point out that those color WWI photos are the most impressive stuff I have seen all summer.

I mean. Holy fuck they look good to me.
