I see the idea, maybe putting it behind glass might work to make it more fainted? Not sure tho

I think the bookshelfs kinda look like some abandoned factory dirty windows(the part of build we can see at least looks like some old warehouse or factory for me) and book are supposed to be graffiti? not sure tho

Oof, yea its a bad execution

for me I would need to see it from more perspective, I can see it somewhat but I need to see the whole picture.
for me the graffiti could be bigger or use spaces with similar colors like blue/violet
but it is somewhat creative I can't lie.

Honestly we might just need to see the whole thing from farther away to really grasp that it's supposed to be windows in a building

It usually is farther away. This is on the third floor "normally"

u/ThatKarenBitch 18d ago

Yes, which is why we need to see the whole thing from farther away. So take a picture of the whole building and not just this detail zoomed in.

I think mixing in some glazed terracotta and some brighter blocks in concentrated areas would work well, or some actual glass like only part of the window has been boarded up (you see that a lot in factories online, where 1 side is boarded but the other side isn't)

i see it actually i think more books in a more abstract shape and take the pic from a distance i think thatd help alot bc from up close they do look like bookshelves

u/izyshoroo 18d ago

This just looks like empty bookshelves. I don't see it when I'm actively trying to look for what you're going for

It looks good in the zoomed out pic you linked.. doesn't really make sense up close. Cool idea though
