 At the same time, at least he had enough artistic ability to draw THAT. I can't get past stick figures.

That's one of my great weaknesses...I can't draw. At all. I can draw in my head like there's no tomorrow, but when it comes to actually picking up my hands and recreating that image on paper, I'm screwed.

So I KNOW what my ideal Concentration set is supposed to look like, but aside from describing the image in my head, I have no way to share it with anyone. (And I know that description won't do it justice, just by the nature of words as opposed to an image. ) And that's frustrating.

With due respect Chris; perhaps that's why people post these.  Speaking personally, I enjoy doing set recreations and coming up with new ideas.  I DON'T know thing 1 about scenic design for television, so I would enjoy and appreciate comments or suggestions about why my ideas would or would not work if they're presented respectfully and constructively.  The \"yer high\" comments are rude and unnecessary IMO.

I only post these because I really enjoy doing them and I thought others might like seeing them.  I have a box full of sets that I drew on notebook paper as a kid.  It's even more fun now that I have tools that can make them look somewhat life-like. :-)  


It's no different than posting game proposals or revival ideas, is it?...and I feel it, like any other genre-related post, can spark interesting discussions.

There's a program that scenic designers use which is supposed to be very sophisticated but is also very expensive. If you can manage to draw a few set walls you might be able to arrange them into a space-stage setting.

Here are some set renderings by a guy who really does know what he is doing, my multi-talented friend Mark Bowerman:

Mark worked on all California versions of Concentration.

Those are really cool!

What was the Jeopardy set credited to GSN?  Did GSN do a version of J!?

I have both Photoshop and 3D Studio Max, but they are both very complex programs and I don't know them very well.

 Looked like a set designed for a trade show booth, for use at the NAPTE convention or some such.
