Room

[Estaog]

I used Davy`s living room as a start.

Original:


My version:


Im not that happy with the lamp and the arcade machine. C & C welcome.

The shadows aren't correct:
It's seems it still day outside, and the lamp doesn't look turned on.

The arcade machine looks ok to me, maybe add some screenshot of a game on it.

I changed the daytime to night, modified the lamp and added a ventilator.

Normally I dont care much about the shadows being 100% correct or not myself, but the acrade mashine casting a shadow on the wall although its on the same-depth level of the wall (and the lamp even being a bit depper inside of the room) really looks wrong and I recommend you should take this shadow away.

The one on the red wall or the one on the violet wall?

The wonky perspective of this image makes shadows tricky ... you have some lee-way, but they still need to be accurate

Consider your light source!Ã,  You have walls in shadow where the light is directly facing!Ã,  It should be reversed.Ã,  The couch looks like part of it is transparent because it's not casting a shadow.Ã,  The television isn't shaded at all!Ã,  There's no depth to the window/door.

While certainly not complete, I did a paintover to illustrate some simple changes that could improve this bg greatly:



Use it wisely ...

The one on the red wall or the one on the violet wall?

Red Wall. I think you understand what I meant when looking at Darth' paintover.

Why is the center wall pink?

Davy has a crude sence of style, thats all.

Though the way I see it, you haven't done much to the image. I understand editing is a learning tool, but by making your own images you develop your own sence of style and creativity. Anyone can take a background and change it, its much harder to make your own from scratch, but the effort is worth it. You never know. One day maybe somebody will learn by editing your image.
