Any painted texture libarys?

[capone_adam]

Can anyone provide me any links to any kind of websites that have alot of texture maps that have actually been painted and used in game? Not to use them but just to look at them for inspiration. This forum has a few threads but they don't hold a large organised collection.

Are there any such places?, thanks

The real world works just fine for me.

Are you looking for handpainted textures or just textures in general?

There was a site that had several Blizzard texture artists work, if you were looking for that kind of textures, but I think the site either has been taken down, or they have moved it.

Looking for large collections of handpainted (or even photo edited I suppose) texture maps. It would be handy to have a resource where if you are having problems trying to come up with a particular element of a map to be able to see how others have tackled the situation. I started saving peoples maps into a folder about a year ago but its going to take years to build it up.
