Ancient Deities And Mythological Creatures: 3D Models I Created With A Modern Twist (26 Pics)
I was thinking - what would it look like if the ancient Slavic gods were represented in Roman-style sculptures? So I created these 3D models and then added some modern attributes to their supernatural abilities (God and Goddess of thunder got a boom-stick).
Then I continued creating their Roman and Hellenic counterparts, and ancient Egyptian gods were next!

Every time I make a breakthrough in the creative or technical aspect of my art piece, it becomes my favorite piece at that moment. But if I had to choose one, it would be Persephone. It was made for a special person in my life and it was the first one of this series. The time spent on every piece usually varies, sometimes it’s very fast, sometimes takes a whole week.

I want this in my dream house. Morena is a goddess of death and rebirth, and given the spooky-ish vibe, it's perfect for me, as both a lover of the more morbid kinda stuff and a mortician. xD

Hi,I like too much,I want to buy.Where can I buy it,Will you help me
The ideas for my work tend to come on their own, when I’m just relaxed, surfing the web, and not trying too hard to think of something creative. I think the best way to get good ideas is to take abstinence of visual sufficiency for some time and then look at some great art. I usually write down my ideas or make a sketch if they are more complex. It can be hard to sit down and start working, but once I get into the flow, it’s a great time, almost meditative.

He is so fine. Put Heracles into todays world and his brain would explode or implode? Im indecisive. AI rocks and so does your creativity.
Like every artist, I face creative block sometimes, but in my opinion, the more you think about it, the harder it gets. The best way I deal with it is working on something else, which could be as simple as raking the leaves in my yard. For I am a sculptor, Michelangelo is very influential to me. I also get inspiration from Benvenuto Cellini, Bernini, Caravaggio, Salvador Dali. Also, when I saw the art of H.R. Giger and Beksinski, I realized the complete freedom of creativity one can have.

OH YES i love the snakes falling from her severed neck. Ive not noticed anyone else do this. Are you the first ? Im on a search now. This is real innovative sculpture. After all most good artists have created medusa in one form or another over the years. How could we be so remiss.

Let others copy you and move on...thats the right thing to do. Your mind must be itching for a different route to nirvana. There is a left and right vision of a goddess only as a mystical being i see the Gemini of the species held together tenuously by the root of all evil....apple tree ? Im a gemini and always in trouble like ive eaten of the tree of life. Its what i see in your beautiful sculpture.
Prints of my creations are currently available on clothes, phone cases, and even bedding. As for the future of my work, I might change up my style of art. This current 3D style of creating is everywhere now, the art space is very saturated with it and it’s getting a bit boring. I always want to keep things fresh.

Nasty creatures- they are portrayed as pretty girls with wings and feathery feet but there face was less than pretty. I love the feathers, they are so well textured. She also has good breasts... not like today. BRAVO

Venus was not a pole stripper, she was a hedonist, not a common wage slave. She lured her lovers with a come hither look and indulged her appetites.

I read somewhere that "cerberus" is the Greek word for "spot", so Hades really has a dog named Spot.

These are super cool. I like how they look like they could have come from the times when these myths were born, if from another dimension.

Breathtaking! Love the modern twists. Would love to see some Irish/Celtic deities, like the Morrigan or Lugh of the Silver arm. Thanks for sharing.

These are truly amazing. A very unique and creative interpretation of these famous characters. Definitely going to show them to my students when we study Greek Mythology next year. Just wondering what the dimensions are? It's hard to tell if they're five feet or five inches tall. Regardless, really well done.
