My project is inspired by Jacob Jordaens' drawing, 'The Banquet of Anthony and Cleopatra'. I chose to expand the world around the frame, focusing on a deeply tragic and nostalgic contrast. In the foreground, I reimagined the romantic and strategic union of Antony and Cleopatra in Alexandria—highlighting Cleopatra not just as a beauty, but as a brilliant, sharp politician. Simultaneously, the background unveils the harsh, parallel reality: the aggressive rise of Octavian as a ruthless warrior amidst the violent collapse of Rome, sealing their inevitable doom. It is a visual journey of an empire's end born out of a lavish beginning.

My Last AI Content — Closing One Chapter, Starting Another
After a long delay, I decided to wrap up my final AI content project by cutting it short and keeping the video focused on the finished work.
While working on other projects and beginning my journey with Blender and Unreal Engine, I realized I no longer wanted to keep putting this project on hold. Rather than prolonging production, I chose to finish it, share the result, and move forward.
This marks the end of my AI content creation chapter as I shift my focus toward developing my artistic skills, 3D modeling, animation, and filmmaking through more hands-on creative workflows.
Every experiment has taught me something valuable, and I'm taking those lessons into my next chapter.
One chapter closes. Another begins.

I created a series exploring how modern technology might look through the eyes of artists from the past. My custom style combines the expressive ink linework of Charles Dana Gibson’s Studies in Expression: When Women Are Jurors from the Library of Congress with the traditional Japanese aesthetic of Crane, Waves and Rising Sun from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. I brought these historical influences together through intricate hatching, warm aged-paper textures, muted sepia tones, and vermilion-red accents. The result is a collection of imagined futuristic inventions reinterpreted as decorative antique engravings.
