King Tutankhamun
I've been working on this one for quite sometime now and the reason for that is that I wanted to make this as close to perfection as possible and I think I did just that with this bust
A little history:
Tutankhamun, also spelled Tutankhamen and Tutankhamon, original name Tutankhaten, by name King Tut, (flourished 14th century BCE), king of ancient Egypt in the Eighteenth Dynasty (reigned 1333–23 BCE), known chiefly for his intact tomb, KV 62 (tomb 62), discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. During his reign, powerful advisers restored the traditional Egyptian religion and art, both of which had been set aside by his predecessor Akhenaten, who had led the “Amarna revolution"
This is my take on how King Tutankhamun would have looked like
Cozy House
I created a very detailed Cabin for this project. My main aim was to focus on details and adjust the lighting as well as the overall composition and finally the color grading in post-production because these are things that I was struggling in with my last projects. I can say I am happy with the outcome.
Costa Coffee
I wanted to create something that was actually inspired by an amazing designer whom I've been following for quite some time now. His work really motivated me to start getting into the whole animation part of 3D and this work on particular really caught my eye. I wanted to give it a try and start making more of these hopefully because, these are really fun and challenging to create.
Versadeath 3098
This is a game that takes place in the future where the player is immersed in a post apocalyptic sci-fi world with a storyline that will surely get players playing on the edge of their seats and make them feel the horrific situations as if they were the ones in these situations
This game will aimed at next-gen platforms as well as steam for PC gamers

Modern Bedroom
For this project I really wanted to challenge myself in creating something ArchViz related in the powerful software 3Ds Max and render it using Vray. I came up with this very simplistic design for a modern bedroom
Carl Fredriksen [UP]
This is my take on a realistic version of Carl Fredricksen from the animated movie UP by Disney and Pixar
F.R.I.E.N.D.S Sitcom
This is my first big interior visualisation project where I recreate the famous sets from the famous sitcom [F.R.I.E.N.D.S]
Green Room
I'm expanding and going passed my comfort zone when it comes to creating interiors/exteriors and I wanted to create something different today. I really admire the nature and greenery and I wanted to make an interior that has a green room inside that you can see wherever you are in that area.
I came up with this design
Varga
Today I created another one of my mother's masterpieces. I really liked this one the moment I saw it and immediately wanted to create it next.
This is Varga
Eye of Ra Applique
The Eye of Ra is a being in ancient Egyptian mythology that functions as a feminine counterpart to the sun god Ra and a violent force that subdues his enemies. The eye is an extension of Ra's power, equated with the disk of the sun, but it often behaves as an independent goddess.
Being associated with the Sun God, it only makes sense that this beauty partly brings light into my museum.
Interior Column
Working on my Modern Egyptian Museum (MEM) I wanted to divide the Museum into categories of assets/objects and finish each category completely before moving to the next. Since I started with the applique for lighting, I wanted to make the primary lighting of the museum's interior to be based on the concept of lamp posts and the famous Egyptian columns found in tombs. And so I camw up with this design
Realism Study
Okay, so a while back I really wanted to make my characters look very realistic, and I knew my only limitation was the texturing of the skin. Then I was saddened to find out that the textures people I follow use were paid and a huge amount actually. But a few days ago I found this one set of textures that I took just to try out and the results are just mind-blowing and I really can see a huge difference than with the others I used to make. If only I can find texture for a female and ones with the eyes open too ... maybe I can even try altering this one for my different needs. Of course next step first is to sculpt my normal map and project the details from the high poly mesh to my low poly mesh and then add the textures or even hand paint them and see how things turn out.
Living Room
Today I created this interior space and I wanted to integrate as much detail as I possibly could, and I think I'm really getting closer and closer every time I create one of these to perfecting them. I learn as I go, and I discover new things and new ways to improve my renders.
I give to you today a modern design of a living room.
Modern Bathroom
I wanted to create another lighting study but for a modern, simple, clean, and elegant bathroom design concept I feel and know I learn something new every time I do one of these and I really do believe that this one looks really good.
Tropical House
I had been working on a project which was really a big challenge for me as it was only my first time creating a full exterior design + create a landscape based on a country's traits and really get it looking realistic. I really love how this project came out and I really hope that I can make more of these designs in the future.
This is a house part of a whole block in a small compound based in the tropical country Malaysia.
Journey into the Mountains
I started another exciting journey. Actually 2 journeys combined into one journey. The first being creating cinematic environments and landscapes & the second being learning a new software I found that really breaks the realism barrier I was facing before!
This is the first of many more landscapes hopefully.
Out in the Ocean
For this landscape I wanted to create something that you would see at the far side where the fish meet. I wanted to create something that's true to a normal day today but with a random object from the past (in this case a pirate ship) just wandering in the ocean
Arc De Salon
This is my second go at using Blender with D5 render but this time I only modeled the basic things as well as parts of the furniture that I couldn't find to my liking in the ready made assets. The texturing, lighting and everything down to rendering was done in D5 with no post-production at all.
King Tutankhamun [Refurbished]
Finally!! I've learned how to create photo realistic portraits of people!!
I took King Tutankhamun who I created in the past and re-created him with more photorealistic textures and made some special lighting effects for this amazing piece
I give to you all today my re-created and refurbished version of King Tutankhamun's bust which will be present in my museum
Queen Nefertiti [Refurbished]
Yesterday I remade King Tut .... today I remade Queen Nefertiti which means that I have remade the only two busts I have created thus far and I can move on to new ones
I'm really having fun with these and now that I know how things work, it's not that much of a hassle anymore and I can just enjoy the process
(I'm still testing different lighting setups to get the most realistic one I can get but for now these are my re-rendered images of Queen Nefertiti of Ancient Egypt)
T R O P I C A L [Bedroom]
The aim here was to create a bedroom which would be part of a bigger home with a lot of vegetation aspects around the house (inside and outside) in a tropical area.
This could even be a small house in a tropical island or secluded deep inside a forest or something. I really had fun creating this visualization and I'm very happy with the outcome.
Queen Hatshepsut
I finally finished my personal take on Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt and want to share it with you all today I'm really happy with how I can sculpt and texture realistically now and that I can be proud of my progression after two years of hoard work, learning, and determination.
Brief History:
Hatshepsut, also Hatchepsut was the fifth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, ruling from c. 1478 or 1479 BC until her death in 1458 BC.
T R O P I C AL (Enclosed Paradise)
Part of my very last visualization of the tropical bedroom in the tropical rainforest, I've decided to continue this project and expand on it by visualizing another room inside this tropical house of an enclosed swimming pool inside of a living/sitting area with couches and comfy bamboo chairs to accommodate a very beautiful view of greenery on the outside and the swimming pool inside to swim in or just chill out and meditate,
M I S T
A full architectural visualization imagining a more modernized and elegant version of a trailer house located in in the middle of nowhere.
I envisioned this house to be a renovated version of a secluded home in the middle of an open sandy area, however; that sandy area is now full of life and the trailer is renovated to something more modern and unique amongst other trailers.
M I N I M A L
M I N I M A L is an ongoing project that focuses on creating minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing designs for interior spaces as well as exterior spaces, taking into consideration the composition of assets, color, and giving a lot of time in the lighting and post-production processes for each piece
