Hey there peeps,
Ive had some more inspiration to start a new map. It will be a Death Match Map, set in a small but very modern train station. The 'cage' of the map i have stolen from an old map i had. (http://%7boption%7d) Expect some contemporary sculpture and modern urban feel to the level.
I will keep this thread updated.
16/07/2007
So for now, i have fleshed out the station as a whole but im only really ready to show an early WIP of the detailed Front Desk and Staircase. Enjoy!

considered the photoshop option but i like the way they look and lead the eye across the background. That whole area reminds me of something out of Myst, especially when you see all the mechanical elements set against the rural backdrop.

Hey all.
I recently moved accross my steam along with games and SDK saved maps/textures etc to a new computer. Everything seems to be fine except the fact that none of my (Currently 3) games appear in the Source SDK tool menu. Does any body know of this problem and if so how to go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Awesome pics i especially love the 4th one. Really demonstrates the predictive and fast paced nature of the game. Great work!
-
Yeah the compression is pretty high on the Birch one. cheers for the comments though peeps!
-
Really nice shots and credit where it is due! One thing i love about photographing nature is that in actual fact you dont need to do an awful lot to get a great photograph.
I am however very impressed with the scale in these images, something you rarely see, although im sure you'll feel the environment felt a hell of a lot bigger in real life.
Which camera did you use?

Hey peeps, again thanks for the wise and kind words.
Unfortunatley ive hit a bit of problem with all things PC. Basically mine is a heap of shit and i need a new machine. But i dont have any cash and to get a job (Where i want one) i need my PC to be working...... so here we hit the catch 22.
Sooo, looks like i need a shitty part time job to buy a better machine, to get a proper job and pay off all my debts. FUN FUN FUN.
Take it easy peeps, ill try creasing a few more art works out soon.

Hehe, why thankyou.
The first piece is by far my favorite, i suppose because it inspired the rest. But your right about the thick atmosphere, i think i'd like to visit this place in real life..... if only it existed.

Its back up now.
It seems ive met my monthly traffic limit in about 10 days. Ive bought some more bandwidth to last until the end of the month, but in turn ive had to lessen the quality and image size of the pics.
Ive youd like to download the pieces for backgrounds, contact me at mrmonkah[at]hotmail.com

Okay folks,
Ive re-designed the piece. Hopefully it is an improvement. I think it is.
Let me know what you think,
Dan

this is true,
The clouds are a little dull in places granted. There is grain in the piece, below the blurs though. I also wanted a very tight band of focus, this stems from my obsession with composition from my photography years. There is good reason for the blur, its technically more plasuable if your willing to see it that way. Again, Art is a very subjective topic and i appreciate your thoughts.
Im thinking about working on the piece again in photoshop. It does look a little rushed.
All the best,
Dan

Hey again peeps,
Part 2 of 4 of my 'Silent' art work. This time set in a Graveyard.
http://www.monkah-design.com/env_slrd.html
In order to keep the consistancy i have opted for a similar building in the background with the same windows and brickwork. I also roughly used the same colour toning as the last.
Any crits and comments for next time are most welcome, also any ideas on some more 'areas' would be a great help. Im thinking a childres playground, next to a country pub.
All the best,
Dan
-
Thanks for the kind words.
The blur i added more than anything to take lead your eye away from the drab, boring areas of the piece and make you look at the buildings in the scene. Having said this, i have to stand by my guns and say im pretty fond of the old bluring effect, always have been.
Cheers,
Dan
More similar works soon.
