very cool! i love the mix of iso, semi-pbr materials, and low poly (the flat shaded rocks and water surface in particular). is this eevee?

PBR materials, ha, you wish! I went nuts, remeshed low-poly iso stones and then added those details with sculpt alphas! But yeahs, I like the way the stones look.

That's all cycles. Eevee was good up until I added the fog. It's barely visible but it adds a nice touch. Granted, I could have cheated it in Photoshop, but I think I like the blener-only solutions. Also the lantern wouldn't work in eevee too (that's a foggy transparent glass with a light source ball inside).
