what the hell is GANTZ? A link would help so we can know what you are attempting to emulate.

This is also in the wrong section. The proper section would most likely be under The Joint... hmm. Moved it for you

Find a ref pic of the tokyo tower. I see one glaring problem with the floor, the ref pic shows a step up on the floor but your room does not show an elevation which makes the line going across the floor look odd. Raise it by another px or two and shade the edges to indicate height. The windows are broken into 3 vert planes in the ref pic but you only did two in your room. The balcony goes too far to the left also, perhaps it should end where the window is. The rail top is hidden behing the window pane which gives the balcomy a goofy appearance, lower or raise it to show it as a seperate object and further define depth. I do think your room looks good 

To Do:
- SelOut
- Lighting in wall/floor
- Windows

oh, so that was it...

Thanks for that, now I will replicate it in the original PSD, if you don't mind

EDIT:

I can't help to notice you putted the light source top-right. It looks good, but it kinda conflicts with the ball. Should I change it or what?

Well, isn't that something they don't say at the template page. I guess I will go with the flow, changing the ball to fit the standard lighting.

Anyways, I wasn't started yet with lighting. I just did the ball since it was freaking me out. It was a circle...

Yeah, I noticed the pixels in the tower, it looks even better. I have doubts with the horizontal bar in the right window panes, it seems too low.

Will work on it as soon I hit home

That's pretty good, maybe have something else going on in there.

You should add the doggy in there

I don't know the manga. I saw the doggy in the picture you submited , and yes, it looks like the real one for what can I see.

It looks great now, i'm loving the view from the window, easily the best part yet. If i was you i would definitely lighten the dark grey on the floorboards to the darker wood colour to the left of the risen area. Also, the ball seems a little nobbly to me, and the highlight isnt great, but im sure you can fix all that. I'm looking forward to the final result.

lovely, the floorboards are great now. The orb is a bit jaggy still (do you you how to selout?). I did'nt notice before but the window panes are different sizes, are they supposed to be? One last thing remember how we raised the floor to give it height, well the balcony needs to be raised to be level with the lower floor, it looks like quite the drop now. The window colors are beautiful and the progress here is outstanding, hope you end up next to one of my rooms :D

@jalonso: please, show me what you mean with correcting jagginess, because I think I already did the selout-ing...

@Larwick: Will try it...

Ah, you meant AA and dithering! Liked the color changes, but I'm not that convinced on thw white spot. Maybe a little bigger...

please, don't think so. I appreciate your comments, and it has really helped me learning. It's hard to believe I was a complete newbie a week ago...
I didn't meant it as a scolding for the lighting, it was just an annotation.

Ok, so nobody is bothered 

My first try at dithering, so it was pretty much trial and error. Added more animation, but I'm sticking to my choice of no teleporting/opening up.

For those who wonder, after the song the ball shows some text that says "Your lives have ended. how you use your new lives is entirely up to me. that's the theory, anyways"

And yes, anyone who is familiar will point me out that the song/briefing is after the teleporting. Let's say is my artists license

Looks great, one of the best rooms in the joint.
