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.

You Know What Else Is A Tower? 
the Sears Tower.

I'm not saying you should build a whole, friggin' LEVEL around it. I'm just saying you could have a few of those in the background of a Q2 map and it might work. 
Towers 
go and play Nebulus 
QRally 
Hi, I am after some source code for QRally or Quake Rally. Has anyone got them on a dusty harddrive? Cheers 
That HalfLife 2 Game Had A Neat Tower In It. 
They called it a Citadel, but everyone knows those are shorter and more crenelated. 
Meh. 
The inside of the tower was quite disappointing though. 
As Im Sure Others Here Do 
when I get bored i sometimes read up on famous pieces of architecture/landmarks/and monuments of grand proportions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ca'_d'Oro
hell yeah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_of_Victory
I don't care what it represents or that it was cast from Hussein's own arms, it's rather impressive (stainless steel :o)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olympus
yeah it's not architecture so what. Can one not be inspired by a legendary place such as this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoysaleswara_temple
I think other images of the Hoysala temple have been posted, but imho reading up on these places just makes them even more interesting.

fuck while you're at it just check ALL the shiva temples

gothy freelance artist/illustrator, skilled in a range of media and styles

Also, while I'm about it, here's John Coulthart. Also gothy, also highly skilled in a range of media. Friend of Alan Moore, and creator of what I consider the best visual depiction of Cthulhu.

Cool artwork in general. 
Yeah 
"summon a demon" is really really cool ! 
Navigation On That Last Site 
is annoying as hell. My first thought when clicking a link should not be "gee I wonder what this does."

Summon a demon is nice and creepy. You could create a whole game menagerie with the 'random' button.
