First Environment - Imperial Palace

For my first environment I've decided to go for an imperial palace throne room based loosely off of roman architect. The main themes of this environment is large imposing and overbearing structures. I have been taking a lot of inspiration from the artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, particularly his renderings of roman architecture. Examples below.

But I will also be using examples of ancient Egyptian  and Greek ruins as well as giant Buddhist pray wheels. Here are a few.
