Junk Drawer Icon
Whenever the crap on my Mac's desktop gets too horrible to contemplate, I shove it all in a folder (on my desktop) called "Desk Junk". Anyway, I was a bit bored this morning, and thought I'd make a nice icon for this folder.
Rendered using Falcon and the faux hdri from my book, materials were very simple texture maps downloaded from cgtextures.com (the junk in the drawer were from google image search and then given alpha channels very quickly using Acorn's instant alpha tools).
I should note that it was inspired by the above icon on Pinterest which I still like better than mine. Modeling and texturing the garbage in the drawer and doing a custom lighting setup would be simple ways to improve it. Also maybe the drawer handle is too chunky.
