I had a lot of fun exploring options to come up with this composition, where we are standing off the side of the throne, almost like we art witnessing it form the point of view of another of the king's soldiers. I always loved images like this in my myth and fairytale books as a kid: images of heroes and knights and kings and princesses at royal courts before they go off into wild lands to risk certain death. I find these types of royal castle environments endlessly enjoyable to design, with epic architecture and comforting lighting to create a warm, elegant, and lavish atmosphere.
