When there's a need for something with specific traits and composition at high quality, I've yet to see a model that can deliver that, especially in a reasonable amount of time. It's still way more reliable to just hand a description to a skilled illustrator along w/references and then go back and forth a bit to get a quality result. The illustrator is more expensive, but my time isn't free, so it works out.

I could see that changing in a few years.
