My only suggestion would be to replace the model with the mummy head/hands sticking out of the wall because it looks a bit out of place. It'd be a lot of work to change now, but I have another suggestion for the future: When making custom textures for a very dark, spooky sort of area, it's a good idea to use a very dark blue (or violet, or red, or whatever you prefer) color instead of pure greyscale colors. I won't go into a big, long, boring art school explanation of why you shopuld do this, but I'll give a visual example: The top row is a dark blue palette, with some variation in color saturation. At its darkest, it's still not pure black. The bottom row is the same palette, but in grayscale. It lacks any variation in color saturation, and comes off looking more bland. Unless you're doing any graphic work that is purely, 100% black and white, you should retain some slight color to get the best looking results.

And I'll leave it like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
