THRONE ROOM – The High Throne – BossoB and Aloysius

BossoB

Hello,
Aloysius and I will be joining this competition with our project "The High Throne". Some of our main inspirations come from French cathedral architecture with an added touch of fantasy. Our throne will have a very tall back with an ornate design carved into it and will be made of wood or stone (not quite sure yet).

Here was the first block out (went a little past blocking out).


Here is the block out after a few alterations.


The idea is that the king sits in an alcove above the room that is only accessible through private stairs behind his throne. This separation is to limit the distance between him and the common people. A statue of an angel is depicted carrying his throne through the heavens and below him is earth.

Nice, looking forward to your result!

BossoB

Thanks guys!
Here is the baked low poly angel with a standard texture slapped on. Still a WIP.

High poly sculpt of the lion shield above the throne.

Starting to get things into Unreal. Here is one of the shields in progress.

Here's a minor update on our throne room.

Here's the high poly statue that will sit on top pillars of the staircase.

Some columns with crappy lighting. (need to work on lightmaps)

I wasn't very satisfied with the last angel statue so I decided to cut it from the room. I also redesigned the ceiling a bit after playing The Order:1886, which is the most beautiful game i've ever played and full of inspiration. Also, I wanted to share the hi poly brazier that I just completed.

BossoB

Some charcoal objects for insert mesh brushes to be used in the brazier.

BossoB

Well, here is what things are looking like as of right now.

BossoB

Got some cool refracting lights from the stained glass windows and also a few minor updates. Any thoughts?

BossoB

In the final stretch! I was going to call it quits but I think i might be able to pull something off. I'm going to try to get a throne knocked out soon, here is the concept although i've had some ideas since it was done.

So I have a question that I hope I can get some feedback on. I spent alot of time yesterday working on my throne and I thought it'd be interesting to have angel wings wrapping around the back and draped over the arms. Anyways, I just noticed another very talented artist here did the wing throne thing already. Although mine is different, I was curious what others though about this. I'm not trying to Shia Labeouf anyone. If it is frowned upon, i will change it up.

BossoB

Decided to change the angel statue wing since the original anatomy was incorrect.

I like the wings on the throne. I think it has a different tone from the other scene so I wouldn't worry about it.
