Also, I like the paintings in HoD's Entrance Hall. In the second hallway, in front of the door leading to the Shrine of the Apostates you can see a small portrait of Carmilla holding her CV2 mask.

I always thought it was just a woman holding a skull, but that's an interesting interpretation.

I thought it was pretty clearly Carmilla, because that would be one huge skull. ;_;

I know the painting in CotM's Audience Hall is a real painting. Also yeah, the paintings in the house of sacred remains are excellent. Even though the level design blew, it's hard to deny that the details in the levels are incredible.

Also, I like the paintings in HoD's Entrance Hall. In the second hallway, in front of the door leading to the Shrine of the Apostates you can see a small portrait of Carmilla holding her CV2 mask.

The funny thing about that is that every major reviewer for a gaming magazine commented on the "Blend Repetitive" levels in both LoI and CoD. But none of them ever complimented the paintings nor small details strewn about. I think it was mostly because of the camera. Maybe over shoulder camera should be an option.

I think LoI had more of those little details than CoD.

I loved the general look of the room where you fight the Golem. At first, I didn't notice it until my eye caught it while I jumped, but those evil-looking hands coming from the ceiling are an awesome artistic touch. It's like the hands are "the evil artist molding life into the clay doll".

Curse's small details are there, it's just that they're so low-res it's hard to discern them, like the creepy paintings in Dracula's castle where you fight the horse-headed magician things.
