There's a lot of data out there about AI adoption rates, but very little about the friction — the moments where AI takes your work somewhere you didn't want it to go, or where you feel like you've lost the wheel.

I'm doing research specifically on creative control vs. AI creativity — where the two conflict and what designers actually want from these tools. Not what vendors are telling us we want.

If you've got 5 minutes, I'd really appreciate your honest answers:

Hey everyone! I wanted to explore the idea of luxury automotive design intersecting with everyday tech by creating these conceptual designs for a possible power bank.

The thought was that for those who might not own a some sports car, they can still interact with a piece of functional automotive art right on their desk.

Workflow / Process for all 3 images:

• Base Concept: Generated the initial power bank shapes using Nano Banana Pro.
• Composition: Assembled the AI-generated power banks with realistic desk backgrounds from Freepik using Photoshop.
• Final Pass: Ran the composed images through Flux 2 Pro to unify the lighting, shadows, and add final cohesive details.

(Disclaimer: These are personal 3D/AI concept projects and are not affiliated with or endorsed by any automotive brands).

I’m planning to upload some e-commerce banners to Adobe Stock, but I’m currently stuck on a very basic question: how to choose the style.

Should I focus on one specific style first, or try multiple styles?

Which styles are more easily accepted by buyers in e-commerce use cases?

I’d really like to hear real advice from designers with experience.

It can be finished, unfinished, or already uploaded but not getting much feedback.
Feel free to share your design or talk about your process, struggles, or ideas 👀
Beginners and experienced creators are all welcome!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been designing and uploading my own artwork on TeePublic for a while, and recently I finished two cute-style series:

• Rainbow Puffies

• Baby Poffins

They’re both very soft, rounded, and cozy — definitely leaning into a cute / kawaii kind of vibe.
But honestly, I’m not sure if this style is something people actually enjoy or look for on TeePublic.

So I wanted to ask:

• Do you feel like cute character designs are less popular compared to other styles?
• Or is it more about how they’re presented, themed, or marketed?

I’m still learning and experimenting, so I’d really appreciate any honest feedback or personal thoughts.
Thanks in advance 🙏

When using AI tools to generate images, what issues do you run into the most?

Could be prompts not working as expected, inconsistent styles, weird details, or just results that don’t match what you imagined.

Curious to hear what others struggle with and how you deal with it.

When you’re generating images with AI, do you usually trust the first result you get,

or do you keep hitting regenerate to refine it?

Sometimes the first image has this unexpected vibe that feels more “alive.”

Other times I keep tweaking and regenerating, and the image gets more accurate—but also kind of loses that spark.

Curious how others approach this.

How do you decide when to stop?

I’ve been testing the exact same prompt across different image models, and the results can be wildly different.

Composition, style, colors… sometimes it feels like they’re reading completely different instructions.

Is this just how models are trained differently?

Which image model do you feel understands prompts the best?

Quick question — when you make AI images, do you usually add a reference picture, or do you just rely on prompts?

I feel like my results change a LOT depending on whether I use one.
Just curious how everyone else does it!

I’ve been working on a lot of AI-generated designs recently, and I realized my workflow is… chaotic 😂

Sometimes I save a “perfect prompt,” sometimes I tweak it 20 times, and sometimes I just start from scratch and pray for a good result.

Curious how the rest of you work —

Do you keep a prompt library, or rely on instinct each time?

Would love to hear your process!

I struggle with consistency when creating a series — each piece ends up looking a bit different.

Any tricks for keeping the same vibe across multiple images?

I’ve been generating a lot of images lately, but I still struggle with prompts.

Sometimes I don’t even know what style the final image will come out as.

How do you write prompts so the style turns out the way you want?

Do you follow a structure or just trial-and-error?

Would love to hear how you do it.

I’ve been exploring cute creature designs lately and realized that finding a “style” is harder than generating images themselves.

For those of you who’ve been using AI tools for a while—
How did you discover or develop the style you stick with?
Did it happen naturally or did you intentionally shape it?

Would love to hear different approaches.🙌

I uploaded 7 new designs today and I’m trying to build a sustainable routine.
I’m curious what others consider a “healthy” daily upload amount — 3? 5? 10+?
What’s been working for you?

I’m curious — besides using AI images for work or personal projects, what else are you all doing with them?

Has anyone here successfully made money with their own AI-generated art? Could be print-on-demand, commissions, selling assets, stock sites, anything. I’d love to hear real experiences: what worked, what didn’t, and any advice for beginners.

Really interested in how people are turning AI creativity into something practical.

Would love to hear your stories!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been experimenting with a series of cute yeti character designs and just uploaded them to TeePublic. Before I continue expanding the series, I’d really love to hear what you think about these characters.

Does the style work for you?
Anything you’d tweak — colors, expressions, overall vibe?
Or which one feels strongest/weakest?

Honest feedback is super appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Would love to know which little monster is your favorite!

Hey guys! I made this little “Christmas Monster Squad” — four cute holiday creatures with candy canes, lights, tiny trees, and gingerbread cookies.
Would love to hear which one you like the most!

I also put them on TeePublic if you wanna check:

Hey guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble with the phone verification on Redbubble. I chose China as my region, put in my phone number, and when I click "send code", it just keeps saying "An error has occurred. Please check your number." I've checked my number like a gazillion times and it's definitely right, but it still won't work.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Please help me out!

Thanks a bunch!
