Challenge #6 - Infinity238 - The Chair

[Infinity238]

Yea, I figured I could throw my hat in the ring on this one.

So I was thinking about maybe....

My chair, basically where I would control my universal empire (or Timpire) from. This is the most likely as I have numerous Ideas for this one. Maybe a little like the emperor’s chair from his throne room, but less evil and slightly more conceded. Yes I'm quite self centerd... Timpire


I was thinking maybe somthing like a combination of these

A quick little concept, just to get some ideas to work from.

Basic layout, It will get more interesting from here I promise.

Nice to see something other than the average trekchair man... Don't spend too much time on the surroundings!

I think to move away from cliche's you should move away from the starwars window! The ultra-bling approach could work, but you could end up killing youself with detailing as it's only a short competition! Perhaps you could make a lot of simple details, and layer them, alongside some textured work.

Going with a pyramidal mound approach gives more weight of authority, in essence suggesting this is the 'leader', so perhaps more massing up to the chair, and give it a more solid pyramidal shape. Another inspiration could be Ra's throneroom from Stargate, which was a stunning set, or more recently (if you've seen it) the Curse of the golden flower, which has many layers of rich gold, colour, glass and powerful symbolic shapes!

That chair design looks really great. I'd also say concentrate on the chair and leave the surroundings in the rough layout state it is now. Just to give a feeling for what the surrounding would look like.

I suppose there are no controll gadges on your chair? Screen or buttons or stuff?

I suppose there are no controll gadges on your chair? Screen or buttons or stuff?

Actually there will be, the trick is to integrate them without them standing out to much. It is a throne after all, and yes the surroundings will wait till the chair is finished.

Thanks for all the imput.

Finally got some more time to work on my entry, been really buisy lately... oh well life goes on I guess.

[JeffrySG]

looks very nice so far... are you going to add more detail to the cat heads, maybe some sculpting? I know it's a fairly straight lined chair, but I wouldn't mind seeing a few more lines have some slight curves to them, in addition to some rounding of some corners (which I'm sure you'll get to)...

love the sketch, too!

nice work!

Looking much better, I like the lettering details, and I agree with JeffrySG, the cats need more resolution. Not sure on the neck rest, it looks too far forward?
