Final Render - Martian King

Character Bible

The Martian King-

My character is a small, timid person but to increase his status in power he likes big things and feeling high.

I wanted the world he lived in to reflect not only him but how his lair would be, so I took the elements of MARTIAN and KING which lead me to different ideas:

The Martian King flag design I made represents his status as well as the arrow points up, meaning high and rising, much like what he wants.

MARTIAN - MARS - SAND - REPTILES - EGGS - SHELL - BONES - DEAD - ALIEN - GIANT - LIVING INSIDE A DEAD REPTILE - GIANT TORTOISE SHELL.

This shows how I got the idea leading to my lair and how it affects my character, by having his lair inside a giant animal, i wanted it to show power and almost an errety-ness as he's living inside something that is dead.

Here are all my thumbnails for my secret lair

Secret Lair Project: Maya

Here is all of the work into my scene so far, comment would be much appreciated :)

This is the lair of the Martian King. Inside is lair sits his orrery (Hero Prop) His lair is inside a giant dead tortoise, I wanted to go with this idea because I wanted to have a un-likely world, so giant animals fitted that, as well as being a world of sand and dust, I decided to go with a desert animal.

Here is the build up of the lair.

This one was my first render of all lights and objects, I didn't like the camera angle and the space seemed too small, so I extended it and made the walls look more "boney" I also added some, small, but additional lights.

This is the most up to date unfinished image of my lair, please give comment, will be much appreciated :)
