I feel this will be an excellent competition! Plenty of nice looking projects out there already, I especially enjoy the threads of Alex04se, WarrenM, Jellied Whales, Scampbell & Dawnson -- inspiring! I do not have much experience with environment art, but I still wish to make this one of the threads to watch. My Throne Room will be something slightly less conventional, here's the back story:
A company called Seven Zeppelins is responsible for transporting a valuable gas over a mountain range that is difficult to pass safely by any other means. The commander of the fleet manages the operations from his formidable throne on the flight deck of the Prime Zeppelin. The throne also doubles as his seat in the Zeppelin Council when the captains of the Seven Zeppelins assemble to discuss.
So the whole thing takes part in the gondola of a very large Zeppelin. I'm looking to incorporate some majestic looking early 20th century technology with epic vistas and nice lighting. Concepts, moodboard & initial blockout coming tonight/tomorrow.
I'm working alone, but I'm still open for collaboration if someone more experienced would like to get on board when they see the initial visuals.

Anyways, I'm going for a pilot-esque throne on an elevator platform on a roomy Zeppelin flight deck. When the platform is up the Commander has access to all his equipment and a view overlooking his crew. By lowering the platform and turning around he can easily take part in the Zeppelin Council meetings.
