The Funeral of Alexander the Great, King of Kings.

Created with ChatGPT + Hunyuan 2.5 + Unreal Engine 5 + Photoshop.
All characters, architecture, and props were first generated in 2D in ChatGPT, then generated in 3D AI Hunyuan 2.5 for free oh their website.
The 3D render was hand-polished over 3 days — adjusting color harmony, edges, facial features and details.
This artwork took me 8 days.

After Alexander’s death, his body was laid in a sarcophagus with two openings for his arms, palms turned upward. This was his final will: one hand was to hold a golden orb — the world he had conquered — while the other remained empty, a reminder that we take nothing with us beyond this life.

The Will of Alexander the Great:

“When I die, let warriors lead my procession — those who could not save me, despite their armor and weapons.
Let scholars walk to my right — who could not prevent my death with their wisdom.
To my left, let the wealthy walk — whose gold could not buy me life.
Behind me, let the poor follow — whose prayers and tears could not hold me back from death.

Place a golden orb in my right hand, to show that I had conquered the world.
Leave my left hand empty, to show that all the riches gained in life remain in this world.”

In this painting, the world mourns a godlike king.
