    Avaron, God of Corporate Greed


    Avaron’s touch turns everything to profit, regardless of moral cost.

    DALL-E Prompt:

    Avaron, the God of Corporate Greed, as a modern deity. This god is dressed in a suit of shimmering gold but with a hollow chest, symbolizing the emptiness of greed. His touch turns everything to profit, regardless of moral cost, and he carries a scepter or briefcase representing his power over wealth and commerce. His expression is cold and calculating, embodying the sinister aspect of unchecked corporate greed in the modern world.

      Pryopticon, the Watcher in the Shadows


      Pryopticon reigns in the unseen sanctum of surveillance, a deity revered in hushed tones by those who seek control through knowledge. In a world where privacy is a fading myth, Pryopticon’s gaze pierces through the digital veil, unearthing secrets and fears..

      One more because I finally managed to get Midjourney to kind of make what I wanted :)

      Midjourney prompt:

      oil painting style, cybernetic monster made of dozens eyes, the god of surveillance, in a temple-like server room --ar 4:3 --s 75

        This still looks nice! And religion is open for interpretation isn’t it? Consider it the first schism in the church of Avaron :)

        That prompt is a real hit-or-miss, I know. I’ve regenerated it multiple times but it came out worse with every attempt.

    Create an awe-inspiring image of Caffeina, the Goddess of Coffee and Productivity, with a divine and majestic appearance.

The Style of the image is like an acrylic painting.

    Maybe this is a bit too abstract but I decided to give Iansá a go with her heading up a fight for human rights.

    Yoruba Supreme Being Iansá holds a copper sword overhead. She is a warrior and is unbeatable. Her mouth is open in a scream of of defiance. She is standing in front of a crowd of diverse peoples. They are attending a women's rally and hold aloft signs with messages of love and support. Colors: red, purple and rainbow, burgundy. --ar 16:9

    Hermes reawakens to guide souls into the virtual afterlife.

    This one was tricky, and I’m not happy with the final result. I could not get dall e to give wings to Hermes’ wand, shoes, and head. It insisted on giving everyone wings too.
