Lilitha Summons a Demon - Expanded Edition

Lilitha was once a skilled sorceress who delved too deep into the dark arts, seeking power and knowledge. She made a pact with a powerful demon, trading her soul for unimaginable power. Now, she uses her abilities to fight against evil and protect the innocent.

[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.]

London Burns (continued)

I took the last image I created and tried Freepik's Pikaso inpainting expansion feature to give a wider-angle view. I had to fix a few things and redo the canvas look with final edits in Affinity.

The Trench Coat Magician's Escape as London Burns

John Constantine's trenchcoat flapped wildly behind him as he sprinted down the London street, his eyes fixed on the pavement ahead. The sounds of chaos and destruction echoed through the air, and the acrid smell of smoke and brimstone filled his nostrils. But it was the sight behind him that sent a shiver down his spine - a demonic dragon, its scales glinting like black diamonds in the fading light, breathed fire across the rooftops of the buildings, sending flames licking at the windows and doors. The dragon's eyes, like two burning coals, seemed to bore into Constantine's back, and he could feel its malevolent gaze urging him to run faster. His tie flapped wildly in the wind, and his hair was disheveled, but Constantine's face was set in a determined grimace as he fled from the inferno. He knew that he had to get away from the dragon, and from whatever dark forces had summoned it to the streets of London. But as he ran, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being herded towards some unknown fate, and that the dragon was just the beginning of his troubles.

[Workflow: JC's starter image from my Tengr prompt, then layered in the dragon from Nightcafe prompt, and I found a nice flamethrower image for the fire breath.  Depth-of-field, fire and particle layers, canvas texturing, and other clean-ups in Affinity.]

Shadows of the Demonic Soul (Jason Blood / Etrigan)

In the dimly lit corridors of an opulent 1800s mansion, Jason Blood stands resolute, a flickering candle lantern casting eerie shadows that dance across the ornate walls. His expression is a tumultuous blend of determination and dread, as he grapples with the insidious presence of the demon Etrigan lurking within him. The weight of centuries of conflict presses heavily on his shoulders, each heartbeat a reminder of the struggle for dominance between his human soul and the malevolent force that yearns to break free. As the air thickens with tension, Jason fights for his identity and the essence of his humanity, knowing that the line between salvation and damnation is perilously thin.

[Workflow; Start image from Tengr, jumped into Affinity Photo to add the lantern's lighting Fx, colored his hair to match his white streak and red hair, pulled in an image of Etrigan lurking in his subconscious, some more texture layers for painted style.]

The Skull of Simon Magus: A Constantine Story

As John Constantine puffed on his cigarette, the acrid smoke curling around the skull of Simon Magus in his grasp, he gazed out into the fog-shrouded streets of London with a mixture of disdain and fascination as a massive, horned demon slowly emerged from the swirling mist, its eyes glowing red with an otherworldly hunger.

The Devil's Dust: John Constantine's Last Stand

In the depths of Hell, amidst swirling clouds of devilish dust, John Constantine, the renowned occult detective from DC Comics, finds himself looking upward at the towering 20-foot demon known as Malgorthrax. Kneeling down, John's eyes blaze with determination as he channels his mystical powers. With a swift motion, he places his hand on the dusty ground, casting a spell that unleashes vibrant streams of purple and green plasma. The magical energy surges forth, striking Malgorthrax's hooven feet first, then spiraling upward until the demon is fully engulfed by hex fire.

[Workflow: Used Tengr + Nightcafe to generate separate pieces: demon, John, basic background, and some runic symbols.  Masked in additional layers such as the dust storm, pixel layers to create more dust, plasma particles, runic glow, etc.  Assembled everything within Affinity.]

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.

The Devil's Drain (John Constantine Chases a Sewer Demon)

John Constantine stood at the entrance of the sewer tunnel under the streets of Edinburgh, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. The air reeked of rot and decay, and the stench of brimstone hung heavy on his tongue. He could feel it, lurking just out of sight, its malevolent presence seeping into his bones like a chill.

The red-eyed demon, known only as "The Devourer," had been summoned by some foolhardy mortal, no doubt seeking power or revenge. Now, it was up to Constantine to put an end to the demon's nightly feedings. He surveyed the dark, dripping passageway, his gaze fixed on the spot where the demon's presence was strongest.  The walls seemed to press in around him, the sound of dripping water echoing off the concrete like a morbid drumbeat. Constantine's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on the darkness ahead. He could feel its hunger, its rage, and its unquenchable thirst for destruction.

[Workflow: My image was inspired by artist Moritat's panel image I saw in Hellblazer #3 (2016), Base elements were generated using NightCafe and Tengr, then other layers (demon, rain, water, fog) masked in along with other Fx work.]

Baphomeyt the Goat-Headed Demon Spellcasting

I took several previously created Tengr.AI images and tried using Affinity Photo's image focus stacking to see if they would merge.  It took a couple different stacking attempts until I got a usable image, but now this one looks like the actual spellcasting from Baphomeyt was caught live-in-motion.   I did have to fix-up several artifact issues from the stacking, but I do think it came out pretty good with his hands and head looking like they are rapidly moving to cast the spell.

The Summoning of the Goat-Headed Demon Called Baphomeyt

As the moon hung low in the night sky, a chill ran down the spines of the villagers who lived in the nearby town. They had heard the whispers of a dark ritual taking place in the abandoned mine on the outskirts of town. The wind carried the faint scent of sulfur and brimstone, and the air seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy.

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.

[Workflow: A couple starter images from Meta AI Imagine combined and masked to form the main goat.  Brushwork added for the glowing portal, fire, smoke, particles, and light distortions within Affinity Photo.]

The Cave of Despair

As she stands there, the flickering torchlight casting eerie shadows on the walls of the ancient cave, the woman's eyes are fixed on the demonic eyes staring back at her. The air is thick with an otherworldly energy, and the woman can feel the weight of the cave's dark history bearing down upon her. The eyes, set in a circle of twisted, blackened metal, seem to bore into her very soul. They are the eyes of a demon, a creature of darkness and malevolence, and they seem to be watching her with an unblinking gaze.

The woman's heart is racing, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps. She can feel the weight of the demon's gaze upon her, and she knows that she is being sized up, evaluated, and found wanting. But the woman is not one to back down from a challenge. She is a warrior, a hunter, and she has faced down her share of demons in the past. She takes a deep breath, squares her shoulders, and steps forward, her eyes locked on the demonic eyes.

"I am not afraid of you," she says, her voice steady and firm. "I have faced down the darkness before, and I will do so again."  The eyes seem to gleam with malevolent pleasure at her words, and the woman can feel the demon's power coursing through the air. But she stands tall, her heart pounding in her chest, and she knows that she will not back down.

For a moment, the two of them lock eyes, the woman and the demon, and the air is charged with tension. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, the demon vanishes, leaving the woman standing alone in the dark, ancient cave. The woman takes a deep breath, her heart still racing, and looks around at the cave. She knows that she has been tested, and she knows that she has passed. She turns to leave, her eyes adjusting to the darkness, and makes her way back to the surface, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
