Throne Room
For this piece I wanted to experiment with my illustration style and blend 3D elements with pattern work to create a unique environment. I started out by creating a throne room in SketchUp, this way I could experiment with camera angles and shadows without having to create multiple illustrations. I also made some thumbnails that didn't use the model, just to give myself some variety when picking which one to go forward with.
After deciding the angle, I created the designs that would be on the windows of the room.
I then created several color comps to decide the overall mood of the piece.
Finally, I made the designs in to smart objects in Photoshop so I could place them in the room with proper perspective, and painted on top of the 3D model.
