Among many professionals, art directors seem to be particularly attracted to Blender. Seeing the work of this week's winner, it's understandable.
How, then, can you too qualify for this award? Please have in mind that this award is reserved for those that are on par with or that excel top-notch works published by artists and studios. If such work does not appear during a given week, this award is not being given to anyone. So please submit your best work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet. It doesn't have to be a Blender render, internal or Cycles. Any other render engine is fine as long as Blender was used as a part of your workflow.
So, it is with great pleasure that www.BlenderNews.org introduces to you the winner of the Render of the Week Award for the week of October 1, 2018: Mohamed Chahin.
Title: "Black Marble Baths"
Genre: Environment Design
Renderer: Cycles

Artist's Comments
About Me:
I’m Mohamed Chahin an Art Director/3D artist based in Egypt. I started using blender in 2015 and since then it’s been my go-to software.
About "New Monster Friends:"
I created that scene because I wanted to add more cute monster friends to my original one (the one with one tooth xD). And I wanted to experiment a bit with hair particle systems and shaders.
