dnp and team reached out to me with a new concept for dnpb album. Their prompt was essentially “podcast set, but cosy”.
They sent me a couple of ideas that solidified a clear image in my mind. Their pitches were “lounging on an inflatable sofa” “including the lava lamp” “retro imac w/ album title” and most importantly, “Richard balls”
Now, if you noticed, I drew the “plastic pendant light” thingy hanging from the top, but I removed it at the final render. Simply, it didn’t mesh with the rest of the background, so I removed it.

So the elements I added to their ideas were using the pod set as flooring; they wanted to chill among clouds, so I made the lava blobs float like clouds. Now I know the rocket and lava goo look a bit phallic, but what do you expect from a dnp project?
Binary gay stars orbiting each other or whatever in the background: that's what dnp’s souls do when the world ends.
Coloring: I wanted to convey a well air conditioned room, and blue is a lazy relaxed color.
Posing: relaxed, chill, comfortable. Cute with an attitude.

outfit reference ofc and mainly used for color picking⤴️
many good references for the sofa, I relied on the SketchUp model the most⤴️
Imagine, you are a phannie at your place of employment, maybe a coffee shop. Phil comes in to buy some coffees, taps his phone to pay. You notice the Dan photocard in his phonecase, he notices you noticing. You look him in the eyes & say "oh are you a Dan & Phil fan?"
