Feeling like a former yeemo carrie bradshaw while typing this
sometimes i think we re in the bad timeline cause of everything that is going on in the world (we kind of are ) but then i remember that dan and phil are out and gay and are the most active since like ever??? and we re truly in the golden era of dnp in which they make meta comments abt my exact thought process from when i was 12....? not to mention they kinda revived tumblr by hard launching. also dan's lowkey a communist? i love this little life.
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⤴️
