    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.

        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.

      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

    Seth as the God of Social Media who controls the matrix of the web.

    Dall-E / Prompt: an image of the menacing deathgod Seth depicted as the god of social media. In the background are server racks to both sides that build an endless corridor. In the foreground of the image is a U-shaped work table with an arcuate keyboard. The god Seth stands at the table and looks like a crazy manic guy who controls several switches and cables and keyboards and smartphones with many arms simultaneously at once. There are cables looking like nerves everywhere, some are leading into the body of the god, so that the god is completely connected with the computer systems. The Style of the image is like an acrylic painting.

    Create an awe-inspiring image of Caffeina, the Goddess of Coffee and Productivity, with a divine and majestic appearance. She is surrounded by a radiant halo of golden light, symbolizing her godly status. Her attire is grand, resembling ancient deity garments, but with intricate patterns of coffee beans and steam swirls. Caffeina’s hair is an ethereal cascade, resembling the vapor from a divine brew. In her hands, she holds a scepter topped with a coffee cup, signifying her reign over the world of coffee and productivity. Her eyes emit a soft glow, casting an aura of wisdom and energy. The background is an otherworldly realm, filled with floating coffee cups, beans, and books, symbolizing her influence in the realms of work and creativity.

    Azathoth, The Blind Idiot God as a politician

    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.
