😈 Arioch by Shifty

"Oops, I'm afraid I'm too hot for your world..." 🔥

An extended version of the AI art by Shifty:

I tried fixing the necklace but ended up adding the body and background 😂

What do you think? 😄

Cool! I've seen Shifty's name pop up in comments a lot so it's neat seeing you two collaborate like this. And the character is great. Does he have backstory?

ps: awkward to mention it here but I've been trying everywhere to reach you! Got something small for you... Would love to see you on discord some time!
Classic game character portrait (image for cgsociety.org gallery). I like this style. My favourite. Thanks for artist, nice work.
Classic game character... Made me think if the ancient Greeks did tabletop RPGs... XD

Maybe it's a just a coincidence, but a demon named "Arioch" is a major character in English author Michael Moorcock's fantasy fiction.
stormbringer.fandom.com/wiki/Arioch
Arioch appears regularly in Moorcock's "Elric of Melinobe" saga. The first short stories were published in 1962, the first novel in 1972, if memory serves. If Shifty's Arioch is the same as Moorcock's, this is the sexiest he's EVER been

...no small thing since legendary illustrators like Robert Gould and P. Craig Russell have also depicted the character.

Thank you all for comments Iam so happy everyone so far liked this sexy "fireball".
Indeed he has backstory but I dont know if it is appropriate one - it is up to Yuni, maybe I could create another everyda story of his but iam aftraid it be as much naughty, already have an idea eh X-)

Never heard about that character, I just searched all ancient fallen angels names and found this one to be rarely used (and nice "Ari") anywhere and used it. That author must knew his trade well when he found it too without internet!

Thing about ai is one must be humble and always remember it is not him who created such art, then again if you pour whole days of work and imagination into process it is also clear such exact image would never existed without that effort. I guess this is best thing about "society" you can build on whole knowledge of others before you not do everything from scratch and ai just supercharged this ability.

I can imagine that if nothing bad happens we live to see such characters to be "alive", walking around image winking smiling, flexing muscles etc. And some advanced "pictures" will even talk to you etc. Just like in some fantasy world.

This may be the most impressive thing I've seen you do yet. You took a picture by someone else, and finished it? And it's seamless?

You deserve all the credit.
AI can do it, it's called "outpainting", like taking an image and extending it with more content that matches seamlessly. The only problem is AI will extend it with whatever that fits, so it takes many retries and describing what you want to do, in this case also fixing the result in photoshop because AI could never make him that slender and it kept failing with the abdominal muscles, so had to photoshop a lot in this one... :D
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
