“Morbid Curiosity” is another short-form piece created for my Halloween project series, built around a small collection of anatomical and occult-inspired props.
The scene focuses on material contrast and presentation aged bone, glass, preserved organic forms, worn books and subtle surface imperfections, all brought together with warm, moody lighting to give the setup an old study or curiosity-cabinet feel. 
A large part of the work went into balancing the skull and specimen jar as the main focal points while using the books and background dressing to frame the composition without overpowering it.
The final presentation includes the beauty render, with additional Normal and AO breakdowns still to be added. 
A fairly small piece overall, but a fun exercise in prop presentation, lighting and atmosphere for the Dreams and Nightmares Halloween series.
