The Rings of Power | Stylised Asset Concept

For my 1st semester exam, I am tasked to make a test key shot of a new Lord of The Rings spin-off feature film trilogy for cinema. This includes concept art and design, as well as a finished rendered film key shot with 3D assets, textures, lighting and renders.

I have chosen the location for my project as King Durin’s Royal Forge. I am to design the royal forge and blacksmith of King Durin IV, from which his new weapon will be crafted. For this location, I have carefully designed one main hero prop to use as centrepiece/focal point for my environment design. The main hero prop is the new dwarven weapon.

"To prepare for the coming battles, King During requests a new weapon of mithril to be made - one only fitting a dwarf king of the highest status. His royal blacksmiths create the finest and toughest weaponry in the Royal Forge, which is found deep below the mountains."
