Original sci fi interior concepts

Hi.
So I am starting a new job early next year and have been told Sci Fi will be the theme. I'm having a lot of trouble finding concept stuff for a small/medium sci fi scene that I can use whilst learning the tricks. I'd also like to keep it for my folio. I LOVE this



But I see its already been done here,

does anyone have any secret sites with sci-fi art hiding in the corners of google I cant find in a whole days searching?

Thanks

To a degree, everything has been done before.
Why not take the concept and run with it. Make it into more than just a replica of one hallway.
Maybe carry the theme behind that closed door at the end.

a small tip on making "Unique" Paneling, I have is I take pictures of circuit boards then to quick paintovers in manga studio lol








I think you get the idea,im aware my photo bashed concept is not great, im not a concept artist but its a quick way I find to get techy designs and shapes, which you can refine and base things off.

thanks guys

@ ExcessiveZero
Thats definately a unique way of getting detail. I'll try it out

@ Valias
The version on the quixel site is pretty much exactly how I would of done it, so I decided to not go with this concept and found this



This looks like a nice combination of modularity and composition. Was not easy to find these images. Waiting for artist to allow me to 3D it in UDK.

You should have a look at Chris Foss and Ron Cobb's "old stuff", which is really awesome by they way

Syd Mead has some pretty cool concepts kicking around, also Ben Proctor. Philip Messina, Steve Burg and Arthur Max too.

thing is a corridor has been done to death... as has loading bay/hangar etc... maybe take a style you like and apply it to something else to give your peice that different factor and also show skills at adapting a concept to other needs, its very common to have to use concepts as mood pieces for un-concepted areas

what about a toilet done in that style, or a recreation room with a pingpong table in, or a utility room with washer and dryers in...
