Cerutan Council Chamber

An environment created in Maya. Conceptually, it's a place that houses the governmental and religious functions of a theocratic society from my fictional setting. The "gods" themselves sit on the dais and preside directly over the rule of the nation of Galliosë. Visually, I took influence mainly from the romanesque cathedrals of France, and in particular from the cathedral at Le Puy en Velay, which embodies a beautiful mixture of romanesque and Islamic architecture. The statues are models that I created based on iconography by Sanna Annukka (new window).
