Created in January 2017 by Sasha Vinogradova, Gods of Egypt is a print series that reimagines Egyptian gods as more contemporary characters. The figures themselves – Anubis, Hathor, and Horus, in order – are sculpted and rendered using Maxon Cinema 4D and Zbrush, then manipulated with photo editing software for the final print.

   

Anubis and Horus from Vinogradova’s “Gods of Egypt”

I’ve always been interested in mythology and ancient world religions, so to see them reimagined into something more modern while keeping the original context in mind is really admirable. Vinogradova achieves this with an incredible degree of photorealism that I initially thought this was straight photography and photomanipulation. It’s a really interesting and satisfying blend of mediums that Vinogradova includes here, with small graphical elements bringing out the quality of the sculpture.

This project along with Vinogradova’s other work can be found on both her website and Behance.
