*At the end of time, when Ragnarok is coming, the serpent Jormungandr will escape its prison in the depth of the ocean. Thor, son of Odin, the all-father, is destined to fight this midgard moster. On this day, thunder will roll through the sky, the earth will sidder and waves will raise to destroy all. On this day the end of time wil come. On this day, the thunder god will die.*

After 60 hours of hard work, and dedication, the scene is finally complete. I've really pushed myself to create as much detail and variety as possible. All the weapons, and most of the shields, the characters are all different. Everything has been touched by hand In an effort to reduce automation and create a most authentic work.

I had a lot of fun making this! And I really enjoy seeing the works of others.

**Halloween 2022: Killer Clown V2**

**Generic back story:** No one knows her real name—only **Lira**. 

Raised in broken foster homes, her only keepsake was a worn deck of cards. The joker was her favorite.

As a teen, she found work at a dying circus and discovered an old poster of Balatro, a wild-eyed clown that embodied chaos. She painted her face to match and embraced the madness.

Her first kill was the ringmaster. The hammer fell, again and again. She laughed.

Now, she drifts from town to town, looking for new victims to target. Each scene ends the same: a blood-red joker card and a note—

**“Play again?”**

Killer Clown (Balatro Style)

Fully textured and rigged Tosakin goldfish with sample animation.

Prefectural natural treasure of Japan, Tosakin, IMO is the most beautiful goldfish with its glorious caudal (tail) fin.  Unlike other goldfish breed, its caudal fin curls and wraps around its body forming a dress like shape.  Its special fin shape makes Tosakin a bad swimmer, thus hard to raise and take care of.  Tosakin nearly went extinct with only 6 specimens left during the World Wars.  Tosakin of Kouchi is known as one of the 3 major prefectural goldfish of Japan, along with Jikin of Aichi and Nankin of Shimane.

Though the initial model view is set from top left, this goldfish probably looks the best from top.  Please check out its marvelous tail fin!

Bronze Tibetan Amoghasiddhi Buddha, 13th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Nore information about the sculpture here:

https://collections.artsmia.org/art/31182/amoghasiddhi-western-tibet-or-central-regions-tibet

From its description on artsmia.org:
*'A devotee might pray to Amoghasiddhi to overcome envy and greed, attempting to transform these emotions into the wisdom of accomplishment. He is one of the five cosmic Buddhas who are crowned and wear jewel ornaments. Associated with the color green and the elements of wind and air, Amoghasiddhi is believed to occupy the northern section of the five directions. His right hand is raised in the “have no fear” gesture. This sculpture is part of an elegant group of bronzes, probably from western Tibet, that displays masterful craftsmanship and stylistic links to Indian sculpture from the Pala period (700s to 1100s CE).'*

Arachne was once a mortal weaver of unparalleled skill, but she became prideful and arrogant from all the praise she received for her work. She later challenged Athena to a contest to see who was truly the best weaver. Though there were different variations of the story of the contest, there was one similarity shared by all: Athena ended up transforming Arachne into the first spider and made her immortal. She then became the Goddess of challenge, spiders, and weaving. Hence, Arachne's name came to mean "spider" in Greek.

*'The Hindu god Shiva appears in several incarnations. Here, Shiva appears as Nataraja, or Lord of the Dance. He raises his left foot in a graceful dance pose. In his upper right hand, Nataraja holds a drum, the sound of which manifests creation. The flame that he holds in his upper left hand symbolizes destruction. Together, they symbolize the creation and destruction of the cosmic universe. The posture of the icon’s lower left and right palms signifies protection. The foot that rests on the demon’s back symbolizes the 
elimination of ignorance, while the raised left foot signifies salvation...'*

At some point I decided that I could make the scene better
I worked on the glass materials, changed the character's pose, and also lit the fire and changed the global illumination

Sculpture of a Roman gladiator

**A 3D model of an eighteenth-century bronze sculpture created by Pius Weloński (1849–1931).**

This figurative, whole-body sculpture depicts a Roman gladiator with an upraised arm. The pedestal bears the following inscription: Ave Caesar! Morituri, salutant [Long live Caesar! Those who are going to die greet you]. The gladiator is – judging by his props – most likely a retiarius [net-fighter]. He fought with a trident or harpoon made of tuna bones, a dagger, and a net that he threw at his opponent’s head.

Sculpture of a Roman gladiator

"Assyrian kings ruled the world's largest empire prior to the rise of Persia in the 6th century bc, consolidating lands from Iran to Egypt [...] Masterfully executed with incised details and exaggerated musculature, this giant, fierce, protective spirit raises his right hand in a ritual salute. His left hand grasps a branch bearing rosettes, perhaps a stylized date palm. Across the center of the relief are inscribed lines of Akkadian cuneiform recounting military victories, conquests, plundered loot, and the reconstruction of the city. Destroyed in 612 bc, the palace lay buried for 24 centuries until rediscovered in 1845."

This is all that remains of *SS Rifle*, one of the earliest surviving examples of a small pre-fabricated screw steamer in the British Isles. *Rifle* was purchased by the Locheil Estate in the 1860s for use on Loch Arkaig, ferrying goods, passengers and mail between the isolated dwellings around the loch. 

As well as being a practical vessel, *Rifle* was also used for pleasure, often carrying shooting parties. 

The boat was laid-up in the 1930s, and whilst being scrapped, sank and lay buried until removed by the army after becoming a hazard to wartime vessels working from the pier. *Rifle* was blasted away from the pier, losing the bow in the process. 

Despite being submerged for over half a century, it was raised in 1990. Although in a very fragile condition, *Rifle's* propeller is a well-preserved example of an early design. 

The model was created as a part of ‘Scanning The Horizon’ 3D digitisation project.

We would like to thank [RPS Europe](http://www.rpsgroup.com) their help during this project.

The Capitoline wolf (ref 837),  Etruskisk 450 BC, in Rome in front of the Lateran before 1000, to the Capitol Hill since 1471 Rome, Palazzo Conservatori In. 1181, The Royal Cast Collection (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta (now Remake) from Autodesk.

The Capitoline Wolf (Italian: Lupa Capitolina) is a bronze sculpture of a she-wolf suckling twin human infants, inspired by the legend of the founding of Rome. According to the legend, when Numitor, grandfather of the twins Romulus and Remus, was overthrown by his brother Amulius, the usurper ordered the twins to be cast into the Tiber River. They were rescued by a she-wolf who cared for them until a herdsman, Faustulus, found and raised them. The Capitoline Wolf has been housed since 1471 in the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Campidoglio (the ancient Capitoline Hill), Rome, Italy. (Wikipedia)

The protuberance or topknot on the head (ushnisha) and the raised spot on the forehead (urna) are standard features of the Buddha. The wavy hair combed back from the face is characteristic of Buddha figures from Gandhara. It was only during the early decades of the 1st century AD that the first Buddha images began to appear."

An older highlander woman with sharp features looks at us from the bust, with a face marked by the hardships of life, and yet with a strong and noble appearance at the same time. This hard, experienced, yet gentle woman was depicted with great care and diligence, as well as perceptible tenderness in approaching the model. It is not surprising, as the sculpture portrays the mother of the artist – Teresa Gąsienica Brzega, a simple highlander, a woman who had raised her four children on her own in the difficult times of the poverty prevailing in Podhale.

Stairs and eroded slipway/jetty at the east end of Custom House, London.

"An earlier phase of the causeway is visible half way down the foreshore - previously partly hidden under the cambered concrete causeway until it broke up. The earlier phase aligns to the true end of the stair. The current granite setts were added to raise the level on the foreshore and the stair passes underneath the setts." - The City of London Archaeological Society (@COLAS_London).

On the river wall above the stairs is a parish boundary engraving for St Dunstan in the East and All Hallows by the Tower with the date: 1819.
