OZQuake: The Gallery of Australian Quake Art

Welcome to the gallery, ozquakes spot for the budding creative artist beneath the destructive quaker. If you feel that your creative genius is unappreciated in your own cirlce, send it in and perhaps we'll post it. Sting's Gallery contains scanned images from his own hand crafted sketches inspired from his quake and heavy metal interests and influences. His works are incredibly detailed and designed, intricate works that display a true talent. Goose's Gallery illustrates the electronic generation of creativity. I look forward to more of his works that take the medium and employ it in creative ways that are just inspired. ozquake Background Gallery is a collection of desktop backgrounds submitted by visitors. If you create a quake related background why not send it on in?

Stuffys Quake Stuff — Maps for Quake 1, Quake 2, and Quake 3, by Ryan Dobson

"Widowmaker for Quake 3 id the FIFTH iteration of this map layout. The original map was made for our clan for Quake waaay back in 1997. It was a pretty spartan affair, but did have a cool aztec texture scheme, something of a novelty for Quake 1. The second copy was a straight conversion and weapon swap for Quake 2, and the third was for Half Life. The fourth was also for Quake 2, but this time for a mod called Steampunk. Some sections were chopped out, some better access added here and there... And so we get to the fifth version, this time for Quake 3. Both TA and vanilla Q3 entities are included. Its' a pretty cool map - it would not have made five revisions without having something going for it."
