that's pretty creepy, tbh.
i also noticed we don't have a 'scared' icon. 

 

Very good Madfox. 

It is the most idiot model I ever done. 

Now make the upper body a new monster crawling around on those bacontacles! 

They're hard to animate and scream on verticemeshes. Like stringing your shoes with gloves.

Fighting against the upper part, while the underpart is kicking your ass. 

hey HeadThump where is mortisville?

so many brushes to trash? come on lazy bitch finish this PLEASE!!! 

hey HeadThump where is mortisville?

never mind the map, where is headthump?

i miss his semi-drunken ramblings and random line-breaks 

This shoot is nice - bad textures and lack of detail, but I like the shape, a menacing arcane stronghold... almost somewhat marcheresque. 

Actually, it's more like a Quake version of HL2's citadel.

Is awesome!

For some reason this makes me think "Runic industrial" - possibly an interesting and unique theme for a map. 

ffs neg, that looks awesome. 

dunno if "runic industrial" is so unique anymore. 

I like the shot but grendel's keep was only the latest in a long line of fusions of those two ideas (extremely interesting of course: what kind of being with the capacity to travel across time or space and teleport things, would spend its time fucking around in medieval dungeons (made of contemporarily rare materials)?

I think Ziggurat Vertigo is still unsurpassed at hinting at this, but this is a thematic reflection, obviously the more negke maps the better the world is, and also originality of theme doesn't mean as much after decades. I think it's more convincing atmosphere. 

holy shit, negke look dawn sexy! 

Promising screenshots everywhere! 

is indeed quite fantastic

I typod daz's hot. 

Negke, you have some nice overhead advertising space in that shot ;) 

are you talking about headthump's qexpo shots?

i was impressed with the brushwork back then (and now) but as was mentioned, the texture is pretty haphazard. 

Indeed. Though I was thinking about 'industrial' style maps that use the metal/runic set exclusively, not a metal/base mix. This is not to say that I wouldn't like to see more anything/base mix maps - any recommendations? 

Where does industrial metal stop and industrial base begin?

I'm convinced that any of the classic themes can be mixed with tech/industrial and give good results.

At least runic and green / brown wizard. Using mostly the different copper textures for the "tech", but also wood, like in some of necros' maps.

Some traps can also count as tech, depending on the design. So can "electrical" lights like all those spots in e1m8. I guess they have some kind of energy to make those work, so it's not that far out to have energy conduits of some sort in a runic map. Like lightning rods, lightning relays and stuff. See Chthon's lightning rods. I'd not be surprised to see cables in a metal map at all. And some sort of generators, with lots of sparks and lightning of course.

I think pipes for example can fit in any theme; here in our dimension, pipes are a very old thing. They are not limited to bases and recycling plants at all. 

ok rj, already sent him a offline msg in the msn ;) he will read it soon... 

I mean strictly the runic variety (those grey-greenish concrete and skull-altar textures, like most of E3), NOT dominated by brown metal - episode 3 style, excluding E3M5. The idea is to create structures/shapes/environments that convey an 'industrial' atmosphere, maybe a sort of Netherworld factory; arcane 'machines' powered by magic; a plant-like facility whose purpose isn't immediately recognizable. Or something like that...
