Byzantine Cannibal Final Concept Draft

This is a paint over draft for basic scene colours and layout for my Byzantine Cannibal's Sacrificial Chamber.

Secret Lair Thumbnail: Bloody Altar Extended

As suggested by Phil went back into Photoshop and extended the blood altar scene I posted earlier to include more of the room.

This is a more refined and interesting look at the sacrificial chamber. The perspective, suggested by Phil, is a new take on how the chamber might be viewed and I think it allows for a more directed view of the altar, with the gold engraving and trim particularly effective. Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.

This was, again, another tester for the altar and the patterns on the floor.

This concept thumbnail takes a actual perspective created in Maya and overlays the detailing and colour scheme I will be aiming for in my final model. Any constructive feedback on this particular method would be greatly appreciated!

Thumbnail 33 - Holy Madness

In order to add a fantasy element to my character I've used this scene to experiment with him being possessed by a crazed spirit. This idea links to the dominate religion of the Byzantine empire, Orthodox Christianity, with its idea of hell having sinners forever in the presence of God, repenting eternally. To add more authenticity to this scene as a final concept I would possibly use Latin or Greek, both of which were the dominate language of Byzantine at different points in history.

A number of different ideas here, there is a recurring theme of hooks and chains that clutter the scenes.
