My inspiration comes from Tatsuya Tanaka, a Japanese miniature artist known for creating tiny figures interacting with everyday objects. He is especially famous for turning food into landscapes, architecture, and other imaginative scenes. I came up with a group of tiny butter workers busily spreading butter on a piece of toast.
I used AI to generate an image of a slice of toast, then brought it into Photoshop to apply the Warp tool in conjunction with my UVs.
This is the final rendered result.
