The Summoning of the Goat-Headed Demon Called Baphomeyt
Deep within the mine, a figure emerged from the shadows. The goat-headed demon Baphomeyt stood tall, his eyes glowing with an unnatural light. He raised his hands, and the air around him seemed to distort and ripple as if reality itself was being warped and twisted. A swirling vortex of purple and blue lights erupted from his fingertips, coalescing into a shimmering portal that pulsed with an eerie energy.
Baphomeyt sat down on the ground in front of a small wispy fire burning inside a pentagram made of lava rocks. The flames danced and spat, casting flickering shadows on the walls of the disgarded mine. The demon's eyes gleamed with malevolent intent as he began to chant in a voice that sent shivers down the spines of the villagers.
As the ritual progressed, the air grew thick with an unnatural power. The portal behind Baphomeyt began to glow with an intense, pulsing light. The demon's eyes flashed with excitement as he felt the fabric of reality bending to his will.

The Circle Opens: Stonehenge Crossing Into Netherrealm
Affinity Photo Workflow: A few image prompts using Bing DALL-E & Nightcafe Image AI to create some of the various objects. Merged hell dimension within the gateway, added luminescent comet, scrollwork, and text intro. Portal beam, shaman, and extra monolith work brushed/masked into the merged prompt images within Affinity Photo. I rather like the text font "Ave Ave BB" once I added some outline weight to it. my first time using this font I think.

Stonehenge is illuminated by a beam of energy from a dimensional portal. Several Meta ImagineAI image prompts to create stones + sky which I then merged within Affinity Photo, and then added multiple brushes to create the beam effects.

Multidimensional Summoning
Affinity Photo Workflow: A few image prompts using Bing DALL-E, Meta AI Imagine, and Nightcafe Image AI to help create portions of the monster, a lot of cloud images, and the desert valley. Vapor clouds, the sun, sunburst beams, and the summoning beams were added by hand in Affinity Photo. Eyeballs created using Filter Forge were added to the creature. Stone circles and tribal tents were pulled from images and masked in.
