Looking forward to seeing your creation, if we can't get people into the bar maybe the temple eh? ;)

I will see what tweaking I can do later.

Looks close to the original, well done.
Perhaps some kemo chairs in there so PC's can sit or lay down as well. (we can throw them in just before it gets added if you don't have them.)

Someone didn't like the floor; so, we could go with this instead:

Kemo chairs and some benches would be nice indeed, for those of us who like to rest a bit after being close to death :P

I prefer the first floor, the other is too harsh. I do not see why anyone would not like the first floor, I find it fitting for a temple...

Yes to kemo chairs. The floor is kind of mustardy.. if that's a word. Try more of a taupe or cream would be nice. :)

Just go with the first one, it's still the best.
When using tinting, you will often find that using darker colors looks better. Bright/light colors rarely look good.

Definitely go with less saturated (softer) colors for walls and floors. You can also alter the apparent color by tinting the lighting from the torches, braziers, and such.

My engineering mind does not like the round columns being offset from the columns on the walls. If it was my area (and it is not) I would align them. I would also look for square columns and try taller versions which touch the ceiling. Keep your forms consistent. Also, structurally, things are far easier to build and keep standing if the various parts line up in neat squares, triangles and arches.

What everyone else said, it looks good and better than anything I could make.

Good point on the columns being aligned. I will see what I can do to fix that. Ideally, the ceiling would be much lower. Perhaps, I will make them thin and tall. That would open up a little room on the end points which could be a good place for some Kemo Chairs maybe. I have already had to make them walkable as navigation would be near impossible in such a small space. If it still looks good in the end, then I will post it. Ideally, the lighting should be minimal I think from a lore perspective. Unless I am wrong.

I think they look better this way. They are not all the way to the ceiling, but since my view is cut, it looks odd when they go all the way.
