[Original Workflow: Bing Co-Pilot images brought into Affinity Photo for final hand edits, revised version used Freepik's Pikaso inpainting expansion feature to give a wider-angle view. For version 2 I cleaned up AI glitches, added proper shadow for the demon, new layers for extra smoke, flames, and dust.]

John Constantine Plus Cigarette Plus Pentagram Equals Demonic Summoning
John Constantine takes a much-needed smoke break while fiddling with a pentagram in a dark London pub, nothing good can come from this. My version was inspired by Elena Casagrande's image I saw on Instagram.

Smoke and Symbols
[Workflow: Extracted image from the cover art by Aaron Campbell on John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dad in America #5 (2024). Extracted out the main image and changed the focus on the bus, added font work and credit lines, masked in a pentagram using Affinity Photo.]

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.

Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room.
I started with a Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3) prompt "a picture of a red-headed woman 30 years old bouncing on a pogo stick" then brought that into Affinity and started working on some minor tweaks, edits, and tried to weed out some of the artificial look. I'm titling this "Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room."
