Well, the thing is... I was already aware of those inconsistencies, and I did them intentionally.
If I wanted to make it photorealistic, I could certainly do so, but that would result in a background which is too busy, and would require a lot more work. Also, having a score floating around doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Nor does a piece of parchment with a word search on it. Or a gold plaque conveniently mounted beneath the notepad with the words "Main Menu" on it.
And if none of those elements makes sense, then does it really matter if the parchment is thicker than expected, or if some things have texture when needed to convey what they are, while other things do not... as long as it looks pretty?
But anyway, if we're going to talk about people who can't take criticism, perhaps you should take a look in the mirror. There was no need for snide remarks just because I criticized your critique. And if I came off as being snide, I apologise. I didn't intend to. I was simply pointing out that the things you suggested were wrong were in fact, choices I made with good reason.
In closing; If you want to critique my work, that's fine... but don't expect me to just sit back and let you take pot shots without defending the choices I've made.
