THRONE ROOM - Thieves Cathedral - Loutrattitude and Rakham

Loutrattitude

Hello everyone,

"Thieves Cathedral" is a project by Rakham, my colleague, and Loutrattitude, myself.
We wanted to show a throne room where thieves come to see their "king". The idea is that this "cathedral" is a secret place, hidden from the daylight world, from the authorities. Also, the magpie bird will be the center of our work, being the symbol of the thief society in our scene.
We are heavily inspired by "Thief" games and dark fantasy settings.

Here is our ref sheet/moodboard :




Software we will use :

3DS MAX
Zbrush
Photoshop
Quixel Suite
Substance Designer/Painter
Unreal Engine 4

I really like your reference, I hope that your entry will be at least as good as them

Interesting Idea. Have you read the Lies of Locke Lamora at all? It fits perfectly with this theme, and I'm sure would serve as good inspiration.

Rakham

We'll do our best to fit the global mood Geno

@dustykhan : I know these books, the funny fact is I bought them for my brother few weeks ago, but actually didn't read them. But I know the main lines of the background and you're right, it fits very well with our theme. I'll ask my brother for a summary

Rakham

Hi guys ! Here are some screens of our throne room. Obviously, pretty much all is WIP, but we have settled the final room size and the global mood. We have our main intentions ready too, as the Throne position and the general lighting.

Feel free to let us know what you guys think of this first preview !

Wow, I really like the atmosphere on this one, is it real cloth ?

Rakham

Thanks Geno, It'll be real cloth, but for now, the flags are just placeholders (static mesh with material applied).
