Distraught crying gothic woman reaches out to a departing man in a moonlit bedroom — This haunting gothic illustration depicts a heartbroken woman in an ornate dark violet lace gown screaming in anguish as a somber man in black robes turns to leave. Deep plum purple fabrics, muted cool gray tones, and delicate ink linework create a dramatic tragic mood, with a glowing full moon visible through the bedroom window. A single faded white rose rests on the velvet bed between the pair, amplifying the heavy sorrow of the breakup scene.

Anguished kneeling woman shouts up at an undead lich king seated on a carved stone skull throne — Grim dark fantasy comic illustration rendered in a bold, sketchy Darkest Dungeon inspired art style, with cool desaturated blue and deep crimson tones. A gaunt blue-skinned kneeling woman screams in raw anguish, twisted shadow tendrils curling from behind her, while a pale lich king in a tattered red robe and golden crown watches passively from his towering stone throne. The muted ash brown background and heavy black negative space create an oppressive, eerie gothic horror mood.

Blue-skinned fantasy antiheroine shouting aggressively while reaching forward with a clawed outstretched hand — This dynamic pen and ink comic illustration uses selective blue shading to highlight a powerful furious blue-skinned sorceress mid-scream, long flowing dark hair whipping around her face. Sharp detailed linework defines her muscular build, long clawed fingers, and skull themed accessories including a skull forehead charm and skull belt. The intense charged mood is amplified by the plain white background that puts full focus on the character's dramatic emotional expression.

Frustrated blonde woman in a dark satin gown shouting while seated for a moody studio portrait — This dramatic fine art studio portrait captures an emotionally raw blonde woman mid-scream, wearing a rich deep navy off-the-shoulder satin gown against a muted charcoal grey background. Low moody studio lighting emphasizes the tense, visceral unfiltered emotion of the scene. Classic fine art portraiture styling highlights the intensity of the subject's expressive, theatrical pose.

Distraught long-haired woman shouting in anguish, seated in a flowing embroidered blue robe beside a misty shore — This classical fine art painting blending pre-Raphaelite and art nouveau sensibilities depicts a grief-stricken mythological woman crying out in raw, unfiltered pain. Soft muted tones of rich indigo blue, gilded gold, and hazy warm beige create a somber, dramatic mood, with an ornate circular decorative frame behind the figure and a hazy calm seascape stretching into the background. Windswept dark hair and raised outstretched hands amplify the intense emotional weight of the scene.

Thick impasto Van Gogh style painting of an angry shouting woman pointing accusingly — This expressive impasto artwork depicts a furious shouting woman rendered in the iconic swirling brushstroke style of Van Gogh's The Starry Night. Swirling deep cobalt blue and warm golden yellow strokes fill the frame, matching the turbulent mood of the subject's raw anger as she points outward with her other fist clenched. The rich textured palette and bold stylized brushwork create a dramatic, emotionally charged visual.

I love the graphic novels one. 5 is interesting because it reminds me of Waterhouse and that era of pictorial paintings often did do dramatic emotional Biblical scenes, probably sans the halo effect tho. It's interesting as people don't often use the AI to do that style and the emoting.

THAT is particularly interesting, my friend; I’ve saved it and will definitely try it out myself. Many thanks, @DavidP.

Yeah, she is a very complicated character. But I guess that goes with the territory of being a shapshifting assassin/spy.
