THRONE ROOM - Angel's Trumpet - Ambar and Cindi

cindiwin

Hello,

Current Ambar and I are enrolled in 3D animation and game design bachelor degree. We want to do something very organic. We want to incorporate European Gothic Cathedral and Organic plants in our design. We want to play around with shape and structure of the throne giving it a strong silhouette. We want to incorporate a back story in the environment design giving it a more in depth design and emotion.

Our software for this project:
- Autodesk Maya (LowPoly, UV Map, Lighting)
- Autodesk Mudbox (Scupting)
- Unity (real time engine)
- Adobe Photoshop (sketch, design)
- Adobe Illustrator (stain glass design,)
- Substance Painter (might use instead of Photoshop)
- Substance Designer (might use)

Lore:

An angel from the heaven had admired a beautiful flower from earth. She picked the flower knowing it would break the realms of heaven, earth, and hell. God punishes her by casting her to live her life in an abandon cathedral far from others on earth.

Her anguish became darkness. It took on a power of it’s own. Her darkness became the poison in which the plant life she create. She cannot leave the cathedral but she have the ability to create beautiful flower creatures that she can spend her time with. Since she was cast to live eternally in the cathedral, she often renovate the place using her power: adding extra support, furniture, throne.

Rough Color Scheme: Blue, Purple, Pink

Cindi - Architectural Modeling, Organic Modeling, UV, Texture, Meshing, Map Making
Ambar - Organic Concept, Modeling, Texture

aaah, cathedral architecture! Always looks awesome
The only thing that I would recommend is to emphasize throne with light, so it does not get lost among the splendor of architecture and color

Well, that escalated quickly! Nice!

This whole project look pretty cool. The blockout so far looks awesome. I'm scared of how this might potentialy be hard. I wish you most of luck.

It is mostly time consuming but it'll be so fun to try

Finally I get a chance to post. So here are some rough thumbnails for the overall design of the throne. We got an idea of making the throne more of a long chair type where our angry fallen angel would sit/lay down and bask on her glorious cathedral. More ideas/concepts on the way.

Im really looking forward to this. I love the back story, epic scale and I really can't wait to see how the contrast between the cathedral and the colourful organic aspects develop.
