Eyeball Soup Environment

Briefing

After being given the brief of creating an environment in which eyeball soup will be served, I wanted to try and take it down a less gory route and focus on the high class world of fur and hunting and create a Cruella de vile type character that lived in Hollywood in the late 60's. I decided the scene would be where the character is serving the soup at a party, and for the room the party is being hosted in i was inspired by films such as Austin Powers and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I then looked into the furniture and décor of that time period building up a Pinterest board, during this I found sketches of retro futuristic living rooms and felt it fit my original idea so much I would make those my main inspiration.  

Composition Sketches

One of my favourite inspiration photos was a round glass room with beams and i decided to use that in my own work as it would make an interesting composition. The other pieces of furniture i decided to include were a jukebox, floor to ceiling lava lamp, sofas and a hanging chair. So i started doing some sketches in my sketch book on the best places for each of these, that would still lead the eye towards eyeball soup on the coffee table.

 

Photoshop

After finishing my initial sketches in my sketchbook i scanned in my favourite one to use in photoshop. As i had never used photoshop before I learned how to use all its tools to my advantage. It helps immensely being able to temporarily add all the perspective lines.
