Does this screenshot look weird to you?

Here is a screenshot of a few textures I'm making for my next map. It should be a weirdass map, so when you look at this, would you say it looks weird, or would you just label it as boring?
I'm not talking about weird like blahhh, but you know... just the "this map is totally fucking bizarre, but looks cool" feeling.

Looks kinda like those toon maps, but creepier.

dark. this map requires unexpected texture animations.

Yeah I have to mess around with the lighting, and the idea of adding in some animated textures certainly is good. I must say I'm really writing down every time an idea of a pattern for the textures runs through my mind, and then I do it in photoshop.

So yeah, this map is gonna be some stuff that "crossed my mind all of a sudden" but I want people to think "wow, this is weird" when they enter it.

And that sky took me hours to make :x

It looks familiar, but I can't place my finger on what it is. How about using texlighting instead of using pointlights? Then you can keep the dark atmosphere with bright textures, kind of tron-ish.

What about that pizazz or the shot of liquor, or even that good 'ol Texas roadkill-steak you were telling me about?

I would have to say it looks good but maybe more additions to the area. like more boxes with faces on them or something.

add shitloads more scary shit, like that baby devil thing from blahhh and like add some things that will kill you like a car in the middle o' map that comes on a regular basis, makes it more challenging. Also stops spawn killers.

Probably this:

I based one of the faces (the sad one) on the boxes in this game. Thanks for the advice people. I'll try to map a part of this when I'm drunk to make it totally bizarre

I'm planning to place some deadly but funny traps, and of course, this is just an example to show what it should look like; I actually have to create way more textures before I start mapping the actual map.

But would you label it as weird?

no, I would label it as cool

Weird and awesome.
