Golden Demon Winners 2024 - Horus Heresy Category

Second post already? Well if you insist!

WIP entry for golden demon 2024. A daemon prince(ss) of Slaanesh.

There has been a bit of drama in the painting community, seems one of the latest golden demon winners used a printed machine generated background on his piece, and when called out he seemed to mock the people doing the call-out by using another machine to generate an answer.

I hate "AI", so obviously using it on a painting competition, and even if it wasn't the specific work the judges assessed, you have keep in mind it still "added value" to the main piece, it's egregious.

Any artist who is proud of their work, and even if you're not proud of it but put time and effort on what you do, should feel disgusted by using a machine stealing from other artists.

In the context of the golden demon competition, well, I guess it should be applied the general rule of "everything not made by gws should be made by the artist".

*I read about this topic on reddit thanks to u/regicyde92

In the early 2070s one district became known for being cleaner of gang activity than others. Kabuki. With it, rumors about the Demon of Kabuki began to spread, and first-ever sightings were reported. This supposed entity is said to roam streets dressed in a long golden coat, with a bat, and have one hand armed with golden claves, wearing a mad Oni mask. Demon's hatred towards Scavengers and Tyger Claws inspired others to mimic his rumored appearance making the chance of identifying the real one almost impossible.

For years, many claimed to have seen him deal with gang members, being rescued by him, or simply witnessed being looked at by him, but after interviewing locals gave the same story about one particular event that spread a myth city-wide. When the body of a Scavenger leader was found hanging from the Torii gate at the Kabuki district entrance, Demon was sitting atop it, wounded and exhausted. Some even claimed he waved at them, but nobody was there when NCPD came to collect the body. But despite the many sightings, no one has ever been able to get a clear look at the Golden Demon's face, and collected footage was deemed unreliable because of the difference in appearance, gear, and behavior, other solid prooves suddenly disappeared without a trace, and places of his activity are often burned, destroying evidence. Experts believe that the myth of the Golden Demon is a prime example of mass delusion phenomena, where a group of people collectively create a false reality that they all believe to be true. It's likely that the people of Kabuki have convinced themselves that the Golden Demon exists as a way to cope with the high levels of gang violence and crime in their district. Some say, the real one died long ago, in some shootout, or succumbed to wounds from Scav leader, but the myth lived on. The demon became known as Akki, which means wicked Oni, and believers left offerings or even tried to summon him, for help against those who did them wrong. The district itself is the only one not being claimed by a gang.

And what would you do if i made chuuya have an ability like golden demon/demon snow instead?
