Finally able to draw again, so new pfp with my own art!
The lips and scales were a nightmare and turned out pretty bad, but the final drawing isn't that awful. Couldn't get the fire background right, so we're going with a temporary starry sky for now.

Dynamic weather, shifting light, and reactive environments make Whisper of the Veil feel like a living, breathing world.

One rule to follow: never request a complete world. That prompts unnecessary fluff. You get better results by asking for one quick scene that shows how the place feels through action.

[P] This is a hilariously brilliant comparison.

There are outliers that can dethrone Half-Life 2, like Death Stranding 2, aure. But the thing about DS2? It runs on its own bespoke engine. Ten times out of ten, decades old Source can and will spite-stomp UE5 into the ground. Unless one hardcore fetishises the slop aesthetic of pointless visual noise overload, of course.

[P] I won't lay the blame entirely at the feet of Guild Wars 3 for how it looks. Unreal Engine 5 actively encourages the genAI slop aesthetic with its defaults (that most don't know how to change). There was a massive body of tutorials, guides, and materials out there for UE4—thst Epic deleted to pump UE5—and UE5 has none of tbat. The only exception was CrossWorlds where the devs infamously turned every UE5 "feature" off.
