The AI art is a little off for some gods. Please, it’s disturbing…
Apollo forgot how to use a bow? The arrow and string are completely out of place, he also holds the string so far away from his face he’d never hit anything.
Artemis is also gripping her bow all wrong. AI doesn’t understand bows, clearly.
Bast’s hand thing is a dead give away.
Helios’s proportions make absolutely no sense.
Why does Osiris have 6 fingers?
And, worst of all, because we’ll see his portrait the most: Zeus’s muscles have muscles… he’s got like a 16 pack… wth… look at an anatomy sketch for 5 secs to understand why that abdomen is impossible, and disturbing to look at.
I’m sure a real artist would be able to fix those in no time. You know, just pay one… instead of making AI nonsense.
Why are you posting that now?
The first beta was over a month ago and the game will come out in 2 days.
Many people complained about the portraits since their reveal. We’ll see if they decided to change them, then we can complain again, if necessary.
I complained when I saw it; my life does not revolve around games so I’m not constantly following the latest news. And… they did change it after, for release. Things can be changed at any moment, even if a game has already been released.
“Don’t voice your opinion or mention something you dislike because it’s been a while.” That is a dumb take.
I think a lot of them were major improvements with release. Dionysus is probably the one I liked the beta one the most. Also, as much as Apollo looked awkward with the bow in beta, he was much more handsome (therefore, lore accurate), so, I wish they’d have kept him handsome and just fixed the posture issues; the new bow also looks generic and the old one had more flare to it.
i think the new portraits are in general a major improvement. some slighlty and some massively.
i even like kronos and oceanos to some degree, i still think oranos needs a at least a face improvement.
the biggest winners of them all are in my opinion:
Many of the portraits are an upgrade.
Odin especially.
Others, I feel like are a downgrade. Especially Theia for me. I liked the stress-test/beta version of her portrait better than the current one. Dionysos I also liked better in the Beta.
Poseidon and Sobek aren’t massive downgrades, but I wouldn’t call them upgrades either.
Hades and Zeus are for sure looking better now.
Oh I think Beta sobek looked good but new sobek look much better. But why is there now standing „Sobek (Hathor)“ I mean we know he is the replacement but some ppl might irritate this and think sobek is also called Hathor I think they should get red or this (Hathor) thing. Or can I disable it and missed it? Nothing important but still irritating
Agreed. Irritates me too. But in the legacy portraits DLC, the Hathor portrait will be used. Keeping the name Sobek there, with no Hathor, would be just as weird. Ideally, it would be Sobek with the DLC off and Hathor with it on. But if they want to bring Hathor back in a DLC, they’ll need to change that either way.
Poor edit I made of the new Odin portrait without the eye glow. I think this overly mystical look they gave to the gods made them less appealing than when they looked more like regular dudes (ironically). Also one thing that took me awhile to notice but it seems that the fact that in the classic portraits the gods weren’t anywhere in particular (the background was usually just a blank color or something uninteresting like a normal sky) helped with that. I might experiment later with that to see how it feels.
