Trying out some AI tools to look for workflow improvements or AI enhanced results. In this case using Choco Yoco, a chocolate paste brand we designed and illustrated to see what we could do with some of the packaging, characters and backgrounds. The characters need more work so I didn't include those, but I really liked the results of the environment tests. It still takes a lot of trial and error, trying different models, tons of variations, tweaking of settings, and manual cleanup work, but it's still a fraction of the time you would otherwise spend doing the whole thing in a more traditional workflow. Most of the time a traditional workflow would still be preferable to allow for more control and scaling, but with tight budgets and deadlines stuff like this could be really useful.
