I guess im asking for some crit on my attempts and some tips. What i did was copy the outline, fill with colour and resized and im sure it can be done better :)
I like the warped curve look to it, but it might be a bit too curvy. When doing cartoonish warped drawings, the curves often serve to exaggerate the objects properties or proportions. So, in the case of a bookshelf, you'd probably want it to go small to large from top to bottom to give it a looming, overwhelming feel. Or maybe exaggerating the curves vertically to give it an about-to-tip look, depending upon what you're going for. As far as the coloring attempt, I think it was an excellent job with very clean results and a nice color scheme. If you want the bookshelf's proportions pretty much "as-is" then I would only recommend making the very top-most edge (as far as the drawing is oriented) less curvy.. maybe more of a sharp diagonal or two than an arc.
i like the curves. it looks like the book shelf was made that way.. sort of. :D
the colors are great.
i think that you need to think about where the light is coming from.
it seems like the sides facing this way and up should be lighter, but inside the shelf all sides are the same color.. play a bit to make it more non-flat.
Looks great colored! I might have added light and shadow like this, or not..

ah that looks great, Neole
That's awesome I really love the curves! The coloring is great too, only needed Neole's shading and it looks wonderful! :)
and an (IMO) not so good one! i'll try mocking what neole did to the last one in a bit unless he wants to ;)

also did this, was meant to be a magazine holder thing, but then it started to look like a toaster :(

on the first one it looks like the red book is going throught the back of the bookcase
lol it looks like a brown printer :)
but this kind of art would be cool in a game ;)
:o
They all look great, love your style! I especcially like the shape of the magazines. It's the little details that make the difference. :)
p.s. off-topic: is something wrong with the adventure gamers server? the site isn't working... ???
