Feedback on Library GFX

Any feedback or edits you think I could add to this commission I did? (The shelves are meant to be empty).

Looks pretty nice, apart from the light balancing. What I mean by that is, there’s a big bright light on the left, yet there’s barely any light on the right. Chairs also kinda look randomly placed, could be leaning on the wall to add more depth.

The roof looks a bit flat. Maybe give it that tile look that you find in offices. Also, the ladder rungs look far too dense.

I would look into learning advanced rendering on Blender, your work will absolutely sky rocket. You’ll have a very hard time selling fairly basic work like shown.

I recommend improving the lighting and rendering, you can change the poses, and that the lighting of all symmetrical points.
Keep it up.

Ok thank you, do you know of any good places I can research that?

It looks really basic, try adding some effects to it. It also looks way too blocky and the lights look weird.

Hum, where’s the books?
Otherwise looks good.
Happy holidays.

It’s a nice start and it’s good. However, I think it’s lacking some features.

Without the context of this thread and the title on the bottom right, I wouldn’t think that this is a library. Sure, it has a couple of students with books, but it looks to me more like some people casually reading rather than people going to a library to read.

I’m not sure if the annotation in your post means that the shelves are WIP or an artistic choice. If this is a choice, then I urge you to pack books into those shelves to make it easier to understand what this place is. If this isn’t the case and it’s just WIP, then pardon me for that.

I also think the structure is a little odd. I’ve never really seen a ladder on a library in this way. I suggest to switch it to standard stairs and instead make a smaller ladder for the shelves on the bottom.

The ground floor seems to empty, and the placement of the chairs feels odd. The bottom floor feels underdeveloped. I think it should have some tables and plants.

Lastly, my final critique is with the lighting. It’s too dark on the right side. It makes me feel like this is more of a suspense/horror game instead of a library. I think it should have a lot more lighting on the sides. I understand that this would harm the prevalence of the shadows, but it makes it feel more library.

Other than that, good job!

Increase exposure increase contrast reduces shadows to give it a bit of sepia add temperature and boom

it will look a lot nicer like this because people struggle to notice the facial features and the brighter colours draw peoples faces to the thumbnails and the contrast allows more details to be seen! not a bad render just needed a colour touchup!

I like this one! It looks a lot better this way

I know this is a library, but where are the books? I would like to see books on the shelves. But all and all, this is a good GFX!
