    OK, I've completely re-worked the crypt itself - a lot fewer rooms. Still not sure exactly what kind of crypt it will be, but I'm starting to 'dig' it now.

    I have added a few features, some doors, a stairway and the sarcophagus.

    As always C&C welcomed...

    I am assuming that the stairs lead down to the doors...

    If that is the case, you should turn them around 180 deg. where they are so that the step shadows lead towards the door. Right now they look like they lead further down from the door.

    Looking good so far

    Thanks...I have flipped those stairs around several times, and it still looks wrong, I think I'm going to just have to redo them completely.

    I'm diggin it too. The stairs appear, to me, that you ascend the stairs to enter rather than descend into it. In any case what you need is an overall gradient - darker at the bottom, clear on top - in addition to the step shadows. If you're supposed to descend, then it all needs to be flipped around. Here's a screenie:
