@Rad Ished: I love the architecture!
Some ideas and feedback: I really hate the texture on the ceiling and on the pillars on the right side. The little squares don't fit at all imo. The lighting is good, but it lacks a bit of constrast. Your color-scheme is a bit too monotone atm. Introduce some highlights by using some more saturated blueish or greenish lighting as contrast to the yellow-brownish overall tone. I've made some suggestions in the picture below. Otherwise: I'm in a state of pleasant anticipation for the things to come! neat
edit: i really wonder how it would look if you try to go for some green lighting on the right part.
Ah and some general tips that i used often: Trying another skybox is also always a good thing to do while in alpha-development. And iirc there was this great feature, at least in Nexuiz, to mirror the picture. lefty-mode or something like that. It's always surprising to use it. It gives another view on the architecture and design that a mapper has just seen for so long from the same angles. It's refreshing, especially when working on a map for a long time, and sometimes reveals spots that could need some more attention that have been overseen before.
