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.

So Is This 
I yelled in unashamed triumph from the depths of my chest for every drop of Niagara's sweet bukkake that stung my face and trickled down my cheeks. 
Stuffs 
Nice Portfoleeoh 
Nifty Schnitzel 
Indeed! 
That Cement Plant Near Berlin 
http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/spiritcementplant/
Lots of images, single page, ~12MB. Your browser might freeze for a moment. ;) 
Bah 
Silly humans polluting decaying factory with dumb graffiti. At least have the decency to paint about azathoth and the old ones. 
Heh 
it's too bad becuase they reduce half-life-2-quality inpsiration down to kingpin-quality inpsiration. 
Kingpin... 
Isn't that the game from 1997 made by Markus Fly? 
Planetcopia 
This guys goes into a crazy amount of detail in designing these alternate Earths, and other fertile planets:

(ignore the fact that when he gets to the "biology" section, these planets always seem to be inhabited by furries.)

A lot of it reminds me of my days playing SimEarth in high school. I also liked to draw imaginary land masses and coastlines and stuff, and loved the made-up maps that come with fantasy novels and console RPGs.

And since I'm working on an MMORPG, i actually got to imagine and draw maps during the early pre-production phase of the game.

Maps are cool.

Ghost Houses/places 
San Francisco Armory 
Heh... 
http://www.sfarmory.com/about.php

So apparently it was bought by a porn company, no doubt because it's full of dungeons and stuff.

If they open it up for tours, maybe I'll go there sometime. 
Lol

More Free Photoreference 
http://textures.vertx.ca/

A few hundred pretty decent refs. 
And Another 
http://www.confluence.org/

Pictures taken from literally every corner of the earth - the idea is to have photos from every point where longitude and latitude degree lines meet (that is on land).

Who the hell comes up with this stuff? 
Yet Another Moebius Link 
I know I'm a one-trick pony in here, but this is some cool panoramic stuff I've never seen before: http://www.artfutura.org/02/moebius.html 
Biff: 
are there any good moebius art books? I've looked on Amazon etc. and they seem only to have comic books... I was hoping for a large coffee-table style art book... or even something smaller, if it has enough art in it. 
Metl 
I've got one of them, entitled CHAOS -- it is really nice, covering a lot of his early output and two of his more recent series: Wonders of the Universe and Stories Inside Something -- the latter which led to his more abstract art. What's more, its got a look inside of some of his sketchbooks, which I really dig.

I'm sure there are more, but God knows where... 
Thanks... 
I'll check out Chaos. 
Moebius... 
There are some other unofficial artbooks lying around I think, but best solution is still to buy all his comics weee!
