Locker room needs help!

[He-Man]

hi
During the making of the latest backgrounds for my upcomming game SILENT KNIGHT I ran into a problem, and I thought I would seek your help here inÃ,  the Critics Lounge.

This is supposed to be a locker room where some one has been diging a tunnel into the underground sewer:



I haven't finish the drawing yet i still need to do some shaddows, but I'm not really satisfied with the way the sewer has turned out. How can I improve this?
I could really need a helping hand here...

Thanks
Your pal

I think it looks fine except for the tunnel going down into sewer looks like a slab of cement and not a tunnel.  I would fix that, but the rest I think looks fine

Ok, how about... err.. so like imagine you look at the background
from a camera... so its uhhh... i let the picture do the talking :

I like the original other than the tunnel doesnt look right, I think it needs some shading.

Maybee you should draw the sewer like the room, with a 'full' back wall and the fron wall cut away. Now it looks like windows on a covered bridge, or something. Sewer-pipes that size is made of concrete, so you should ad some texture and joints, something like this:



And next, the drain-pipe from the shower, why does it come frome the wall? shouldn't it come from a drain in the floor?

And to make it more intresting, you could always ad a girl showering or something...

Thanks for your help so far...

MrMasse: I've tried doing it your way, but somehow it doesn't look right. It's like the round shape of the pipe is lost.
SuperCarrot: I really like your paintover and I might steal the idea. i hope you don't mind...

I could still use some help on the tunnel and the hole into the pipe. As you guys mentioned, it looks pretty bad....
