Let the summer theme continue with some cozy dusk time barbecue. But what should I put on the grill?

Revisiting the UI realm again with some AR desktop concept with AI assistant. Imagine having no need for screen device, as your whole world becomes your screen. Can't wait for some consumer level AR wearables. What about you?

It took a while this year, but finally Summer has arrived here, so I'm setting the mood. What movie would you watch on the screen outdoors?

After some journeys into the world of popular culture, I wanted to create something more original and not tied to any existing world. And again, if you sometimes lack inspiration, you can look into your older works for that spark.
But here, I took a bit different approach. Instead of looking at my diorama layouts, I explored the characters. I just imagined, which of...
I was looking for a way to mix up thing a little bit and use more of my styles together. So I came up with a combination of ancient ruins with some advanced and possibly alien tech. What do you think?

As you maybe already know, I like to return to my older ideas and build up on them and I really love cyberpunk genre. So it was only question of time to do another cyberpunk diorama, that was more detailed, smooth shaded and used hard surface elements.
Sometimes this can be challenge by itself, to go and build on a previous work. It can show, whether you can repeat ...
I felt like doing another cyberpunk environment using low poly / hard surface techniques. Btw if you never read Neuromancer by William Gibson, I strongly recommend it. You will be surprised how many sci-fi and cyberpunk tropes originated from the novel. Did you read it?
What's your favorite cyberpunk franchise?

Most of the time, my works are one-shot attempts to catch some unique situation, or a well know popular scene. But I have few series going on, that I return to occasionally and build on previous ones. For example Cloud 66 series, that made it into my course as a lesson episode. That one is a diesel-punk art-deco inspired dystopian futuristic theme based on 30's and 4...
I've already done some SW pieces in the past and didn't want to go back to remaking or updating the models (thought it might be something to enjoy next time). Instead I wanted to create a new model and push it a bit further than previous ones.
I had a hard surface textured bike model in my list for a long time and never had the right motivation to do it. Until now. ...
I really enjoy world building and theme exploration and after diesel-punk scenes, I wanted to create something new. Here comes the retro futuristic aesthetics and Jetsons to the rescue!
What do you think, does this deserve a series?

Back to the childhood again with some old school Star Wars diorama on the Endor moon with speeder bikes. Had a quite a lot of fun using Substance Painter again and amazing Botaniq addon. What do you think?

Let's try another cute little asset for a strategy game. I went for a tavern this time and tried to incorporate a barrel element into it. What do you think?

Ah Matrix. I remember watching this move over and over in the early 2000's and I re-watch it occasionally to this day. One could say that it's style is aging a bit, but overall, I still dig it. And it's one of the installements of the cyberpunk genre, that really made it to mainstream and roots and bits of it can be traced all the way to William Gibson's Neuromancer book (...
I love to create iconic movie cars and it's a while since I've done something like this so here's one, that's been sitting in my list for a long time. I even re-watched the Matrix series and after all that time. Still love it!

While I didn't like the new movie as much as I wanted, I appreciate the attempt to revive Mortal Kombat in the world of cinema and it brought a lot of warm memories of the old movie, but especially the games. I can remember mashing the keyboard buttons with my brother and taking advantage of locking out the keyboard with certain button combination :) That often turned into...
I was really looking forward for latest Mortal Kombat movie, but I have to say it left me disappointed. VFX and some fight scenes were cool, but overall in terms of story an screenplay, I like the old movie more. But at the end of the day, it all goes back to arcade, Shang Tsung's courtyard and Scorpion and Sub-Zero fighting their eternal revenge.
Which movie did you like more?

It was a longer time since I did the real city diorama, so I felt excited to go and create a new one right away. I still keep a list of cities and picked the Paris. It's a long time since I visited, but I can still remember the atmosphere and ambience, the smells and emotion of the sunset Paris.
There are only two conditions when I'm looking for the city serie...
It was time for another world city illustration and what's better than take a stroll on a Citroën 2CV in the narrow streets of Montmartre? Maybe only sipping coffee on the stairs beneath the Sacré-Cœur while watching fireworks in July :)
What iconic city would you like to see next?

The great thing about consistently creating and sharing your work is, that after some time and traction, you get a lot of feedback and tips and suggestions as well. I always read all of the comments and messages and if I read something interesting, I add it to the list. This way, you don't need to always rely on creative spark, but you can take other's ideas to create some...
What would you sell if you owned a general goods store on Mars? I went for backup oxygen tanks and batteries, plants and medical kits. And of course a drone :D
Did I miss something essential?

I'm a big fan of science fiction and I really love retro futuristic ideas. All those sci-fi movies from 50's and 60's have some magic to them and all the mythos around aliens and Area 51 has it's own style and look that developed over the decades.
Large alien heads and small grey bodies, flying saucers, antennas. It's all there. So I wanted to create my own ch...
When the both suns come up, it's great time for a peaceful stroll with your companion. Meet ΤΣΔ (Tau Sigma Delta) and Ξ (Xi). ΤΣΔ likes to listen to a good low frequency beat and Ξ is a good boy.

This is always safe option if you're looking to create something new and your struggling with inspiration. Just pick some favorite movie, game or TV show and try to recreate your favorite scene. It's great practice that can take you out of your comfort zone in terms of creative techniques.
I had to decide on two main things. What scene I want to create and what tech...
