Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

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.

hmm.. think I've missed that one until now and yet it was sitting next to Hagia Sophia all the time! With both of those next to each other it seems like a really fantastic place to visit.

You might have to dig through a lot of text to find them, but this site http://www.deadmalls.com/ has a ton of pictures of dead/dying/demolished shopping malls along with their backstories.

You may notice it was redone for the Twilight Zone feature film (by Joe Dante, no less), but not nearly as good.

I've spent a lot of time in Istanbul and travelled throughout Turkey but I never captured it quite like this: wonderful photography and outstanding presentation.

Gukanjima is an island near the westernmost shore of Japan.

It is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines.
