- las vegas tunnels
Underneath the flashing lights of Las Vegas, is a series of underground tunnels, built to protect the city from flooding, but mysteriously it is inhabited by the homeless, the drug addicts and those who've lost everything. I think if we are going for this slum like lifestyle in our ident then we need to reference stuff like this to really exaggerate, also I first found out about these from vice:

- Silent Hill video game
Now this may come as a huge shock to you my avid readers of this blog, but I actually don't play many video games (and when I do, it'll be skyrim or something like that and I'll spend three hours making potions and picklocking doors and avoid fighting things). So this is a David recommendation, when he first envisioned the idea, he pictured the pinky brown colour scheme of Silent Hill, I also think he go the idea of the creepy eyes from this, because the first image here has some seriously creepy eyes.
After looking at images of the game, I also really want to incorporate the mesh of textures in the floor and walls, because I think it will give it a more interesting visual aesthetic.
- dark souls
I have never even heard of these games, but I tried doing some research on this (I didn't play it), but it came across that the characters and settings in the majority of the game are very medieval but it has a dark feel to it, so I can understand how you might want that darkness but I don't think I'll use any of this directly for reference.
- the dark knight film
I think I'll have to rewatch this film to pick out specific scenes to reference from, what a pity!
The concept art, and promo posters are all very blue which will juxtapose the pinky brown really nicely because we want the lighting to flicker between red and blue so I think this will also work really nicely.
