Description
This is a piece done for my major individual project for uni- an artisitc and aesthetic makeover for the original Quake, based heavily on H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.

If there's one level most people remember from the original Quake- its Ziggurat Vertigo, the secret level from Episode One with the low gravity.

It would be a crime not to include the level into any redesign of my game, but i figured it needed an artistic update. The original was pretty bland.

Given that travelling to other worlds was a subtheme of my game, i figured the strange nature of Ziggurat Vertigo would make it the perfect candidate for another dimension.
Wracking my brains for something absurd and bizarre, the most awesome thing my sleep-deprived brain could think of were giant floating two-headed lightning spider citadels. I went with the idea, and although it is pretty left-field, i really like it.
