Avaron, God of Corporate Greed

Avaron's touch turns everything to profit, regardless of moral cost.
- Dall-e didn't do as well. Used your exact prompt
  
  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 :)

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.

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
- I also took a stab at Anubis as an attorney before this one. I saw we already had an Anubis but wanted to share this anyway because I reeeeally like it.

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.

Prompt was "old gods and deities chained to a giant wheel trapped under ground that is spinning a marry go round above ground that children are riding. cgi cartoon style. dark under ground, bright and colourful above ground. Children are only above ground" 15 tries.
Still not happy with how blurry the kids always come out, but still something.

- Really good idea for a concept 💯
  
  Just wish it would have done more with it. Might finally start trying some other generators
  Edit:
  Thought maybe some of the other odd attempts would be enjoyed (not for the contest of course)
