Algernon Discovers Nrub'atocto

Professor Algernon Ross clutching a glowing yellow lantern ventures into the endless midnight of remote, subterranean tunnels. There he stumbles upon the tomb of the primeval demon Nrub'atocto, imprisoned in this nameless cavern for 917 years. Over the slow march of centuries, her malevolent essence has seeped into the encompassing stone, soil, and underground rivers. As Algernon raises his lantern, its wan light reveals the demon's hibernating form still and statue-like. He comprehends the evil that has been gradually diffusing out from this forgotten place deep under the earth.  Part of the Nrub'atocto - She Who Feeds storyline.

Affinity Photo Workflow: A few image prompts using Bing DALL-E both and Image FX to help create the daemon, and some portions of the cave.  Masked in the supporting professor's image taken, combined it with the lantern, added more falling stones from public sources.  Added extra lantern glow, dust and particle effects, and text elements within Affinity Photo.

Caged Terror: The Fort Wayne Yeti

Jack LaFontaine, goalie for the Kansas City Mavericks, tensed up as the massive creature was posed to drive forward toward the net, its icy limbs glinting under the harsh arena lights. Towering over the ECHL players at nearly eleven feet tall, the icy Yeti-like beast had suddenly appeared, bursting up through the ice during the pre-game warmups. Now this monstrosity seemed intent on smashing through the goalie and then charging into the surprised crowd sitting behind the plexiglass boards.

Affinity Photo Workflow: Live hockey picture from tonight's ECHL game where the Komets lost their away game against the Kansas City Mavericks.   Ice monster AI prompted using Google ImageFX just to see how this new image tool worked.   Composited the monster in, added some broken ice, various icy vapors, and monster clean-ups by hand.

Angered Deity Looks Down on Stonehenge Summoners

An angry god peers down through a rip in the fabric of space-time upon the mysterious stone structure of Stonehenge. Gazing with wrath upon the ancient monument below, this powerful deity seethes with an unknown fury as it observes the tiny mortals milling about the ancient site from its vantage point in another dimension. What has provoked its ire and what fate may befall the unaware humans scurrying amidst the massive megaliths below the watchful supernatural eyes from beyond remains uncertain.

Affinity Photo Workflow: A few image prompts using Bing DALL-E & Google ImageFX to create some of the various objects.   Clouds are taken from many public images, and additional stones are masked from multiple images.   Light beams/bursts, rune work, electrical bolts, cloud addons, gradient glow on made deity face, and shadow brushwork are added within Affinity Photo.
