HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ↳ Corlys Velaryon, the Sea Snake

Yet even with such forebears, Corlys Velaryon was a man apart, a man as brilliant as he was restless, as adventurous as he was ambitious. It was traditional for the sons of the seahorse (the sigil of House Velaryon) to be given a taste of a seafarer’s life when young, but no Velaryon before or since ever took to shipboard life as eagerly as the boy who would become the Sea Snake. He first crossed the narrow sea at the age of six, sailing to Pentos with an uncle. Thereafter Corlys made such voyages every year. Nor did he travel as a passenger; he climbed masts, tied knots, scrubbed decks, pulled oars, caulked leaks, raised and lowered sails, manned the crow’s nest, learned to navigate and steer. His captains said they had never seen such a natural sailor.

Try to theme things with bats in Midjourney, and it's going to be no surprise that a lot of your subjects will come out looking like they hang out with Mr. Wayne on his late night jaunts. So, here are my Afrofuturistic Batmen and Batwoman. Wasn't going for this, but I like them.
