You can get pretty awesome stuff from this:
http://images.google.com/images?q=russia%20cathedral 

is just sublime.

Mostly character/animal/thing studies, but some nice architecture in "Paintings" at least. Some good links too (eg http://imphead.com/ ). 

Detinets in Novgorod - been there, just not in winter time

Saviour on Blood cathedral has impressive exterior and interior (too detailed for my taste tho)

interior is very map-able

google for more, or come to St.Petersburg to see it :) 

Beautifull paints ! And it will be difficult to reproduce the paints in a texture file IMHO... 

I was meaning just the arch style 

I understood, while I think the most interesting things there are the paints... Anyway, good photos ;)

bland lighting, ugly textuers, poor detailing

is it for competitive CS? 

Still kinda neatish though. 

Of the recently-launched Venus Express.

Some good shtuff. 

A french website about horror movies and its monsters ! Good link ! 

I visited the museum of modern art in Helsinki, Kiasma, today. Most of the stuff sucked badly and a lot of it was just.. ugly. But some rare ones were good.
There was also a room where artists had done 3d paintings but the tech was kinda primitive... i hope something comes of this in a few years (even though the tech has been there for many years).

Audience could look with polarized glasses and in one of the glasses there were these two balls which where the reference according to which the projected image moved.

In another exhibit, there was a simple metal wireframe village with a church in the center. It didn't look much special at first look, but actually it was put on a circulating platform and light was projected through it at a wall. Damn, it looked just like a computer game with the wireframe picture on the wall. :P
