Experimenting with Particle Simulation and various lighting techniques.
I was going for an uplifting funny, stylized yet realistic and believable environment.
This is how I would imagine 90´s America as I´m from Europe.
Except the Cadillac Eldorado model (courtesy of Wire Wheel Club) it was modeled by me.
Textures, except the marble bowl, also all by me.
Lighting by HDRI for overall accurate light + one intense area light through a plane with random holes and through the window in the back.
Produced and edited in Blender, format change in Photoshop.

This was the initial setup. Different lighting, different composition.

A bit of editing and particle emissions tweaking later

Trying different aspect ratio, different composition while also introducing the area light
