I think it's a healthy kind of love...Probably best to let them work it out by themselves...;)

It started out innocently enough. I saw an ad in the classifieds...
"texture artists needed. must submit"
...and thought it might be fun. Oh, what a fool I was.
At first it was easy. Move that pixel there. Those colors are wrong. Tweak that highlight. Those shadows are OFF, FOOL!
Then it escalated. Went down dark avenues of the soul I never thought traversable.
Now I'm making regular trips emergency room, telling the doctors I keep falling on doorknobs. Doorknobs are apparently a weakness of mine. My kryptonite. That's what I tell them. This is the third time I've been here this week. I don't think they'll be buying it for much longer.
Every pixel I move now is a silent cry for help. I'm doing a bookshelf now. It has to be perfect. I think this one will be the end of me.
Send help.

Yeah, that's the right board thickness...although, that broken piece is too thick now.

Which is easily fixed, since that board is only one piece. Plus, I compared it to the original using NV's website, and (

My boards are still a tiny bit thicker, but overall not too bad. The middle pieces still need a bit of fixing, but that's just a few seconds worth of work to do.
At the very, very least, this whole exercise has been great for practice. Also for finding out just how much patience I have. :P

At the rate we're going, it'll take a lifetime to finish this up. What happened to everyone else doing this?

The good thing is that this texture takes a lot longer to finish than most...but yes, we should have some more people participating here.
I'm good with the size of the boards, and other than the few small fixes we talked about, it should be ready for cobwebs.

I think you're ready for cobwebs. Well done!!
And, yeah, wee need more volunteers to put up with constructive criticism. The good thing is that everyone is is trying to help. And you sure will learn about making game textures doing this. So if you have any interest in trying, please step up. Maybe we should post a sign up list?

Make that "50 Shades of Bookshelf", and you have yourself the New York Times Best-Seller... An erotic thriller with bookshelves. :p
Poor Ren. These people have been putting you through so much. When this is all over, you should take a vacation. Or play Thief. :cheeky:

The red and white labels with writing seem to repeat an awful lot. I can't read the writing, but the shape of the writing makes it look like the same label is applied to different books. That's a bit odd.
And were you going to tone down the orange on that orange stack to make it more red?
