speedy, any chance you could make a list of the maps invovled, I believe there's a few ther that I havent come across before. 

Those look great, but man do you have to much free time or what? 

yes, and I love to play with photoshop

Since it was requested by several people, I might make the list of maps I know. There are many betas/unreleased works. 

Love the 3rd and 5th pix in the first row (in 800x600)! Is it Quake 3? Reminds me of the drawings I used to do when I got bored at school twenty-five years ago! 

Those pics make me wish I'd followed Q3 when it came out. Some really beautiful stuff in there. 

We need a list of what those maps are...I'm going nuts trying to put (file)names to (brush)faces.

And WTF is that mecha looking thing with the spines, 6 across 3 down, it looks farking amazing? 

Impressive! 

I'd love a 1600x1200, or larger. :) 

dilvish,

the first map your refer to is nunuk's sparth and i thought I knew the second one, but upon checking it's not what I thought it was. 

Ah, thanx. And it's Q3? Didn't remember (or even know) you could do such cute things with it. Wish I had time to get back to it!
And I also wish someone did a Q3 single player mod! Will that ever happen? 

There is plenty of will, but not enough coders. Just ask Lun about it.

Vile coder scum!

I said no such thing. 

To make these tiles I used some of the nice screenshots found on my hdd. Some were taken myself, but most obtained from inet. Thats why I dont know some of the maps names and authors and might be wrong about some others.

Consider this picture a tribute to the art of mapdesign. Greetings to everyone involved into it.

Geocompo1 and 2 maps and all the Nunks maps 

Speedy listed row 4, column 3 as "just a hand (q2)." I wanted to add that it was a screenshot from Gunman TC, from when the TC was still being developed in Q2. 

You can see the "hand" picture plus some other cool brush models in this article, which was written by one of the Gunman guys:

right rpg, I got it at that site, just forgot 

how are these? all by hand, i have PS trial so i can't use those lame ass eye candy effects anyway.. i prefer the skillful manual method

I like the top part of tex1a - nice and gritty - but the bottom doesn't seem to fit. It seems sort of... vinyl?? no... some other word... velo? Is that what I'm thinking of... Anyway, it looks more plastic then gritty. But still a nice texture.
