THRONE ROOM - Seat of the Xochian - Nina Cammarata

NinaCammarata

Hey guys figured I'd give this challenge a shot.

I wanted to do a sci-fi sort of throne room but I had an idea to include a massive rose window behind the throne. So I figured I'd take it further and do a futuristic, gothic inspired throne room. I've attached a sheet of reference images that I'll be working from.

The tools I'll be using:
Maya
Photoshop
Substance Designer/Painter
dDo
nDo2
xNormal
UE4

More concrete concepts will be completed within the next week.

Here's a throne concept that I've been throwing around. I think I like it. Especially if the texture is a very clean silvery white metal with some variations in reflectivity.

Some more architectural stuff that I had sketched out.

I like your moodboard, will be interesting to see how you combine those looks into something nice and consistent!

Cheers!

I did a quick block out of the level. I didn't put any detail or form into any of the statues because I was feeling a little iffy about the block out when I was making it. Still feeling weird about it. Maybe it's because none of the sci-fi details have been added. I just wanted to get a sense of space. Either way I took some quick screenshots.

Started work on the throne. This is just the basic shape. None of the details or anything have been added, got some embellishments and polish to add so its far from done but I thought I'd share.

The main aisle of the "cathedral" looks too narrow and the blocky things in front of the pillars are absolutely huge. The pillars feel like they couldn't take the weight of the roof. The shape of the throne itself is very nice though!

Thank you! I've been mucking around trying to make it feel right so your comment helps a lot!
