Looking For Artists To Make Wall Textures...
I am a fan of Marvel's X-Men comics since I was 15.

I am currently working on a Quake map with a secret chamber dedicated to 42 X-Men characters:

Cyclops, Havok, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Jubilee, Iceman, Wind Dancer, Rogue, Shen Xom, Kuan-Yin Xom, Colossus, Banshee, Bishop, Archangel (Angel), Cannonball, Smasher, Fenris (Von Strucker twins), X-23, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Angel Salvadore, Tom Lennox, Betsy Braddock, Billy Biggs, Saucler, Morph, Storm, Gambit, Winston Frost, Corsair, Thunderbird, Beast, Dust, Cable, Sunfire, Magneto, Mystique, Kitty Pryde, Animalla, Beak, Tyger Tiger, Professor X

I want to see them as how they are in Professor X's university. Not in their superhero costumes (some are dressed in clothes based off their superhero outfits).

If you want to see how it goes, here's one of my X-Men fanart on Reddit (Link - https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/1v2j7gk/soon_after_watching_the_trailer_for_avengers/)
Ack! The Link Got Messed Up! 
Texture Tips 
For a chamber with that many characters I would not make 42 unique wall textures. Quake textures are low res and limited to the 256 color palette, so a few portrait style textures (maybe 128x128 or 64x128, sizes in multiples of 16) used as framed pictures on the walls would look consistent and cost almost nothing. You can then group them by team or era so the room reads well, and keep the lighting low and warm so the small portraits stay readable. TrenchBroom makes it easy to place them as flat brush faces. 
 
I disagree. Go ahead and make 42 textures.
