@Ascension - Spot on! That's what it needed - I'll make that change next time I work on it.
Not sure about the ascending/descending though - which way does everybody think works better?

If you're going to making it a descending staircase (ie down then in) you'll have to darken the floor as well. Since I really like the current floor I didn't want to mess it up

@ Ascension - Nice call!! I will have to remember that one.Originally Posted by Steel General
@ SG - You don't see too many crypts being higher than the entrance, but it might be nice to see.... You would have to add the entrance way as well though.

What I'd do...
I'm sure you'd do it with another layer in GIMP, but in Xara, I place a rectangle shape of the entire staircase, apply a graduated transparency going from say 70% black to 0% total transparency. Place on top of your stairs with the black towards the bottom, this helps enhance the look of descending to the lower level. Since I also color my floors darker the lower things drop, I try to match the bottom of the stairs in black to the same darker shade in the lower floor.
I'm sure you could achieve a similar effect in GIMP.
Just ideas.
