My first time full background makeup took me 17.5 hours in total. Because it was too tiresome I omitted the globe. Also because to put all objects in one single file will incrase the total PS processing time, I separated them into individual files -- good thing was I realised how I should place anchors in each file in order to assemble them in order easily.
So as a quick comparison.

Just a summary list I made during the past week.
2:09 - table + lamp
1:30 - bookshelf day 1
1:45 - bookshelf day 2
2:00 - grandfather clock
5:30 - window + colouring 1
2:00 - colouring 2
final assemble & make up
20:15 - 23:14 << actual time on my computer
Yet during the final assemble, I noticed my computer's disk space decreased like mad!
↓ before & after I finishing the final makeup.
Were my files that big that took 12 GB of cache space? Anyway, I was really glad that Photoshop didn't crash.

The two most fun parts were:
1. outlining and colouring the table and the stuff on it.
2. adding text/titles onto books/pages (although I didn't do it for all the books in the shelf since it's too tiresome ^^;).

What about some zoom-in's~?
I. The obvious book title:
Same as what I thought last time.
You fail if you don't know what that is~

II. Obvious book titles and a piece of less-obvious lyrics
As for the paper in the front, I believe it's big enough to read. Somewhat, one person's name there is related the title shown above. :3
A1: Mozart's 7 mature operas. Supposed to be libretto and more study reports (well, the thickness was random since I didn't know I'd put these titles while drawing them).
By the way the top opened book is the libretto taking from "Idomeneo", mainly "that" aria (I mean No. 29...). No more comments! People like me understand the true meaning behind! XD
A2: I picked up this title by an even more random chance than Mozart's opera titles!

III. Can you figure out which novel the text is from?
Hint: Ali Project has a song under the same title (). Also, the light novel "Bungaku Shoujo" has an episode with it as the motif.

Overall, not bad as my first time drawing full-background setups~
Gotta practise more about lighting control. I was planning to do more with the lamp this time, but (too lazy to set up a real model so) I didn't have a good reference. Plus, using gradient/etc on Photoshop to apply lighting effects is still tricky to me so I gave up.

Finally, vertical zoom-in version:

Although I still have stuff to put in this post, considering too many pictures I inserted I'd bring everything else to my next post~! ><
