Warhammer 40K Throne

I took on this project as a sort of "warm-up" for the Space Groove Arena. Mauro Belfiore's illustration of Konrad Curze looked extremely cool and I would have loved to be able to hand paint the textures my own to recreate it.

I followed the AeonCore tutorial from BrushForge to get some help with the metal textures look. It really helped me out for the throne but I was struggling with the Bronze. Mainly, because since the reference image had the pillars so dark it was hard to figure out the details. So I went to Campus to take a look at some bronze artifacts that my University owns to figure out the copper look. Getting that along with the AeonCore tutorial really did help me out in the long run.

Originally, I wanted it to be a diorama, but given how the background of the referenced image wasn't all that detailed compared to the props I made, I opted out of the decision. However, I still completed it and decide to include them here.
