I'm remaking my detail contest entry for SFM, now that I know a tad bit more about what I'm doing, along with the feedback from the first attempt.
This is sort of more how I pictured it when I first went into the detail contest.
I'm looking at Black Mesa for architecture ideas.

Look at me! I actually opened hammer today and I might actually have the start of a cool last-point design. Maybe now I can finally make the spytech themed map I always dreamed of.
But what is more likely is that I don't do anything with this and it dies with all my other projects.

If you somehow don't turn that into the best thing ever, I will cut ur mum if you don't release it for the world to make the best map ever.

So recently I was porting cp_junction to Black Mesa as deathmatch map

Maybe I'm gonna do an original deathmatch map for that game if more people play the multiplayer on release. The servers are rather empty for the moment unfortunately.

I thought I had a grand idea for a payload race map
Round and round and up and down it goes
Where to stand, nobody knows
implying that that isn't a grand idea for a payload race map
That's an excellent period font, but it doesn't look very good for an all-caps logo. And typically the name and slogan are written in two different typefaces anyway. Hmm. I'm picturing something somewhere between a serif font like Georgia and something like Britannic, in bold. Nothing springs to mind by name.
They function, they just suck.
Is this why I don't ever get to the detailing stage?
The ideas you have are good in themselves, but what needs work is the execution.
For instance:
- Planks of wood in the first shot laid on top would never be that thick
- The planks should also be differing horizontal lengths, slightly going over or under the edge
- In the second picture, there's way too little brushwork on the building. The roofs should be their own brushes, and you can do loads to make buildings look more interesting than that (I like to have stuff like the trim of that one brick texture on the top, or having a stripe along the building looks nice too)
- In the last picture, you've sorta just rushed the rock/dirt bit. Extend it out, have some varying heights and lastly don't put anything that's meant to be natural in a row, trees don't just grow in rows like that (unless it's a setting where people would've planted trees in a row for aesthetic).
