*Little Pharaoh* is my first project that emerged from a freelancing job. Initially, my task was simply to create a 3D concept artwork for my client. I was provided with a detailed description of the envisioned concepts and ideas, which gave me a solid foundation while still allowing for artistic freedom in my interpretation.

My journey began with extensive research. Since the game was set inside an ancient Egyptian pyramid, I turned to National Geographic documentaries and the video game *Assassin’s Creed Origins*—a title renowned for its historically rich depiction of this very setting. Armed with mood boards and reference sheets, I then moved on to the first *greyboxing* phase, creating 3D floor plan sketches in Blender. My initial focus was on shaping the labyrinth’s silhouette to ensure it felt both visually compelling and atmospheric, setting the stage for the mysterious adventure to unfold.
