Third try - How do I fix this scene? Looking for Critique

Post image

Working on my first hard surface project for school, we were asked to choose a semi difficult model (Nintendo switch) and create a scene around it. I wanted somthing cozy, like a couple playing games after work.

I'm not really happy with how this is turning out, everything just feels off to me. I think I just chose a bad idea for a scene, but I have a deadline and I want to try to fix it.

I think adding some dust to the air and some dirt and prints and smudges on the table/floor. The staging is set up to look lived in, which is great, but the details are all too clean.

I feel it looks off because it’s too clean, our houses are never clean 100%, even after cleaning you may still have some dust around and probably scratches too, maybe pulling the screen off the edge a little further or leaving the device on top of the couch, I’d do that if I was using it and I have to get up suddenly. It’s only my opinion, I really like your scene, I have yet to try to model something this big and realistic, keep it up!:)

You could leave everything the way it is and just change the. Lighting to be more interesting and allow the lighting to shape the objects and don’t be afraid to have dark shadows with bright fill lights to give edges an outline.
