ianrsoulfox already posted this, so I figured I might as well do it, too: The second of the two backdrop paintings for Ian's Halloween party at the Tail Underground.

This ended up being a more extensive redesign than the tavern was, as the original bathing hall was little more than a box with a sunken area in the middle, and Ian had sugegsted that I "go wild" with the design.

I started off by studying the architecture of various roman baths, specifically the ones at Bath, in Somerset. The arches and pillars are a direct reference to that historic site. This also allowed me to incorporate the same archtop door design used in the Tavern image, thereby providing a bit of design continuity between the rooms. And, a matching alcove opposite the bath, makes a good place to keep the towels off the floor while providing a bit of symmetry to the design.

The decorative stone fountainhead is retained from the original design, and is now mounted to a large roman wall fountain, pouring into a slightly reshaped tub basin.

One final thing to note, is that while I retained the color scheme from the tavern, here it has been inverted. With the reddish brown and tan colors of the walls and wall trim swapping places.
