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.

Wow, cool photos !! It would be great to make a partially submerged map using these photos...
I'm just dreaming about a ship cimeterry full of monsters.. ;P

I'm just dreaming about a ship cimeterry full of monsters..

If you ever make such a level, I have the perfect name for it. Do you know what the Barbary Pirates called their deep sea hell? 
HeadThump 
No... Let me know please .. 
Okay, 
Dom Daniel -- The first time I encountered the word was in a short story by Gene Wolfe several years ago. I looked it up with whatever search engines were available at the time, but I found little information (Gaimon also made reference to it in Sandman).
So I looked up Wolfe's e-mail address and asked about it, and got a nice little etymonic discription in return. I wished I still had that e-mail, it was quite interesting.

Please if you still have this email, send it to lambert_jph - at - yahoo - dot - fr

I'm always interested by these "mythological" stories... it gives me some good inspirations for mapping ;) 
Ahhh

After Further Exploring That Site 
a) I want to have czg's manbabies
b) Valve must have based hl2 entirely on reference from this very site. Exhibits:

http://www.opacity.us/image3283.htm
http://www.opacity.us/image3177.htm
c) Metl fix this fucking recursive sql error so I don't have to keep retyping posts. 
Omg 
I didn't comprehend Lun's post on first read, and I clicked the links thinking it was a tech demo of some new valve engine... :O 
Yes 
That's an entirely reasonable assesment and I can clearly see how what I said could be construed as such by a sober, clear-headed individual. 
Well, To Be Fair 
the image of manbabbies does take a little time to shake before you get to point b). 
Manbabbies? 
Er, a collective of Barbra Streisand impersonating transvestites, maybe? 
HeadThump 
Thanks for that mental image. Really. Thank you. 
Anytime! 
Just doing my small part in sparking the Apocalypse. Every little nudge helps.

bandwith limit exceeded... well, gotta try another day.

The internet needs broadcasting technology. (Or active proxies as people from different timezones start following links)

This Would Sure Make Exciting Map 
My God 
when somebody complains about a crappy map / game which is just plain corridors and stupid enemies, I can just say that "you just don't understand, it is perfect! A masterpiece of the hayden tunnel inspired". 
you, sirs, all rock hard. 
Someone Buy Me That "Lime Works" Book

(sorry if this has been posted before, at least one of the pics looked familiar to me, but might have just been on IRC)
