Take my map "Augenkrebs", and turn it into something that does not hurt the eyes!

Requirements for submissions:
- The layout must be the same; items may be changed. Brushwork may be changed as long as it is done to add detail, but not to change gameplay. The BSP you submit must be mostly compatible with the original BSP in the aforementioned pk3, only minor prediction errors (like if you turned the square pillars into round ones) are allowed. Adding a secret room and a way to it is explicitly allowed, though, but the room is not allowed to have an exit then so it does not take part in gameplay.
- None of the original textures may be used. Not that you'd want to...
- This or a similar texture must be included somewhere on the map, possibly in a secret room:
- CTF flags must stay at their places; however, you are free to not include CTF in the mapinfo. Keep the entities anyway then.
- Submissions by anyone, including mikeeusa, are allowed and will be tested and judged not based on who submitted it, but on the actual outcome.
- Focus will be put on visuals, not on gameplay.
- The deadline is Jul 1, 2009, 23:42 UTC.
Here is a screenshot of an idea what can be done with Augenkrebs:

I'll later submit this map as an example to get some ideas from, which you sure will be able to beat.
Basically, I challenge you all to take something atrocious, and turn it into something good, by doing purely visual changes. Go ahead, artists!
