Ok, well it may be the 6th anniversary before I have this finished

But I've been working on this for a month or so. Although I first thought about it when I posted this topic. I've been looking for an excuse to reproduce one of my bookcases, mostly because I really enjoy drawing squared off angular things in a realistic way. So I've almost burned out my poor 3D Box tool on this, but by golly, I learned how to used it! The image is far from finished, but at least the 3D Box tool is resting now
So I'll probably title this InkscapeForum - analog, or something like that. It's an old fashioned forum where the shelves are subforums, books are topics, etc.

It also shows how I tend to work on images in bits and pieces, whichever area holds my attention for the moment. That's a preliminary wood color in the back of the bookcase, and I haven't colored the rest of it yet, or most of the books. I'm also saving most of the blurring until the end, so whatever few shadows are drawn, have not been blurred yet.
The big book on the bottom, which is close to finished, is an old and battered Rand McNally Atlas (atlas of road maps) and the little blocks on it are ads for other RM books and atlases. I'm still pondering a way to make it look more battered. In reality, the spine is taped together, and even the tape is coming apart. I don't want to try and depict the tape, but I do want to somehow make it look old and well-used. Perhaps that's too ambitious, considering how small it is, and how much more detail is yet to be added (in the bookcase as a whole). (Yes, I do have a newer atlas somewhere....actually I'm not sure where it is.... But I can't get rid of this one, because of the awesome road trip it took me on!) Maybe just a few stray Pencil strokes would suffice for wrinkles and creases?
Anyway, comments are welcome. Although any potential changes to the perspective are out of the question, since many of the 3d boxes have been disassembled, and will no longer be edited together, even though they originally did share the same vanishing points. But I'm open to any other changes
