1st thing that catches my eyes, is that the texture on the top half of the desk is stretched out. Also, the texture on the base of the globe looks abit wierd.

I like it. I know I am a newbie and I probly dont have a say in this, but I would suggest maybe taking that fold out of that paper(It really catches my eye). Other than that it is marvelous.

It's looking good, I agree about the paper's corner you need to make that less harsh. The inside corner of the desk also needs to be sorted out.

I would say that for a desk it looks too sterile, everything looks like it hasnt ever been touched or used or dropped or banged or scrapped (you get the idea!) user added image

Try to make it look like someone sits there everyday doing their job, I'm thinking pictures of children, wives user added image

, pets, sports trophies memos, sticky pad yellow notes, coffee cup rings on the desk, a coffee cup that you dont clean very much (you know the kind I am talking about!) etc etc

It's a great start so keep up the good work! user added image

nice man, i think the prob with the fold is its too HARD, make it softer, smoother.

Nice. Whos that a picture of? And one thing about the book. The pages look abit wierd. They have those black lines going across them, or is it just my eyes? I like the little yellow stickeys tho.
