I've traveled down this staircase before, as many of us have.
Drawn in Photoshop CS in about 2 hours with 14 layers.

This is a desktop pic I made it's at 1600x1200

Hey cool! stairways to hell cool how you simplyfied the image by darkening certain parts and thereby bringing the focus even more to the red part an so making a far more effective image, composition wise.

Well done!

That is very cool.

So, you've actually made the staircase longer. Cool job!
Nice touch also the orange in the middle.

Ooo - found the original
