Veiled Realms Entry ~ Overgrown By Nature

Veiled Realms Art Challenge
Here's at last my take on the challenge theme, it was such an exciting opportunity to work with Unreal and see own models come to life in real time )
There were plenty of iterations along the way, but I'm pretty glad with the mood I ended up with in this final environmental piece.
The scene features the statue of the Goddess of Nature, Karina (deity from personal worldbuilding universe), sitting on a pillar in an overgrown, ruined garden, hidden inside a cavernous setting..
Overall ~ basically all models and textures in the scene are manually crafted, except for some foliage and ground rocks here and there (sourced from Cosmos library)
Hope ya like it! 😁

**Tweaked a couple of lighting settings post-challenge, to make the scene feel slightly more natural (couldn't help seeing no light cast from torches, and lowered overall shadow contrast a bit 👀)**
