D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

GENERATED PROMPT: A triptych character study of the demigod Iuz, blending late medieval Byzantine and Mughal Empire fashion and cultural elements. The first panel depicts Iuz in his Weak and Wizened Old human form, dressed in subdued Byzantine-inspired attire with hints of Mughal influence, like intricate embroidery or patterns. The middle panel shows Iuz's tall and imposing Demonic Form, with wings stretching out into the other two panels, featuring elements of Byzantine armor or ceremonial garb and Mughal royal and military motifs, in a dark, menacing redesign. The third panel presents Iuz as a Handsome Young Man, wearing lavish, detailed Byzantine and Mughal blended attire, reflective of both empires' luxurious styles. The background of each panel should be thematic and enhance the character's narrative, using a color palette that reflects his chaotic and evil nature.

Did some studies around a painting I have as my phone's background (and hanging on my wall too). Starting with sketches, then paintings, and then getting more ornamental. They're all neat/nice, and I think the paintings overall are my fav for their atmosphere and rich colours.

WG5 Description of Mordenkainen, pg. 30: Mordenkainen appears to be a middle-aged man bedecked in simple grey robes, perhaps resembling a merchant. His face suggests age beyond his normal appearance, as if wisdom were a part of his charisma, thrusting out upon those that stand near him almost as much as do his bushy eyebrows. His hair is black and cropped, his beard black with silver streaks and well waxed. Mordenkainen has come well-prepared with many items.

The background features an arcane library, illuminated by magical, heatless candle flames, creating a mystical ambiance. His expression is mischievous, reflecting his personality. The art style is realistic.

*While post Gygax TSR and later WotC put the stronghold in the Yatil Mountains, Gygax himself said that it was near the Horned Society in Oerth Journal 12, Thus Spake Gary Gygax: Ye Secrets of Oerth Revealed, by Paul Stromberg, from Paul's email correspondence with Gary.

Gygax further mentioned that the Circle of Eight were originally all his PCs (well some were NPCs originally) and when they reached a certain level and wealth, they pooled their treasure and, "located a place for a stronghold deep in enemy territory to assure plenty of action, and then went to work building the citadel." - Gary Gygax: Q & A (Part IV, Page 9).

Last one for the night. Here is a portrait of Mordenkainen The Mage (about 12th level at this point) before he became a Planes Walking Archmage. Also, I am using the description of him from WG5 Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure and not the "Ming The Merciless" version that WotC created back in 3rd Edition. It was a crime in my eyes back then and I still dislike it today.
