Samarkand

Look ‘round thee now on Samarcand!—
        Is not she queen of Earth? her pride
    Above all cities? in her hand
        Their destinies? in all beside
    Of glory which the world hath known
    Stands she not nobly and alone?
    Falling—her veriest stepping-stone
    Shall form the pedestal of a throne—
    And who her sovereign? Timour—he
        Whom the astonished people saw
    Striding o’er empires haughtily
        A diadem’d outlaw—

Fragment of “Tamerlane” by Edgar allan Poe

A model based on a character I previously designed. This was my first completed project using 3d modeling, including the animation and the original dramatic music. It was all done in Blender (except the music, but probably in the future this could also be possible with Blender)
