BeQuiet! noise exterminator ad concept

This one was prepared for BeQuiet competition, maker of silent power supplies and CPU coolers.

The ad had to be "inspired by BeQuiet product design" so I downloaded dozens of images of their products and started sketching some ideas on paper. I had only one and a half day for the whole process, so I had to quickly come up with something that can be done within this extremely short timeframe.

The final idea that emerged after I ditched several others, called for a headphones that can isolate you from the noises of the world (and double as a heatsink for your hot head). I then downloaded scores of headphone reference photos, produced final concept drawing on paper and started modeling.

Modeled from scratch in Blender, rendered in Cycles. There are about 10 lights in the scene.
