Made a candid mockup, harmonized it a little better in PS from what Nano banana made. I used the man in the printify 'mockup'

[Daniel] My confidence level is effectively zero, I would be genuinely surprised if I made a sale on this. I haven't had a chance to do candid shots yet, but I will at some point. There's a few more ideas I have, but unfortunately I will have to pick them up later on as my life got interrupted by the court system again. Until then, I will say I ordered a sample of the shirt so I have one for real. It's impressive quality for a $10 print.

One of the t-shirt designs I made for my shop! Will link in another post, since I can only do one thing at a time here.

And here's the link to my shop, ashesnghost! I previously sold custom character letters and a good number of people reviewed me, so I decided to stick with the shop I still had. The content was somewhat similar, anyways.

I still have lots more horror game centered designs I want to create and post!

My shop is DesignsxB, and I did some fun risograph style filters on some horror movies I love with a fun font and bright colors. I have very little confidence this would sell, and probably won’t seriously pursue, but I would wear it, so that’s kinda cool.

Hi, I might be missing something here but it seems you cannot post multiple images. I am going to post three mock ups. I was hoping for some opinions, they are starting to feel very AI generated and I'm questioning them for use in an Etsy shop. Thoughts?

Black cat mugs. One too many. These are all Nano Banana images

mds415sf — 2025-10-23 17:14:56 UTC

I changed the shirt design and ordered myself one. Have not received it yet.

[Daniel] Last time I post here, I promise. I've got 4 things (so far) and I'm in a better headspace to work on more.

Pretty happy with these so far. Obscurities from around the east bay to start. I have a lot more ideas.

I only have two designs available so far. I have more artwork I can use after I edit it a bit to better fit the style of my store. Like adding backgrounds and more branding-oriented flourishes. My level of confidence is 6/10. I feel like I need more exposure to direct traffic, so I am going to create an Instagram with my anime art pieces as well. My main focus is working on more designs for shirts and oversized sweatshirts.

So far I only have one design and hope to create at least a few more very soon. I plan to create similar designs to the one currently shown on my shop. Overall I think I did a pretty good job on this and think that it is a good start, I will just have to keep making more designs in order to establish that. Currently I just need to focus and time and have a set idea for each design when working on one.

Spent some time working on another design! I'll probably make this one a poster :)

I've been playing around with variations of a cat I made. I have't published my shop yet. Working on some mugs and coasters. Most of my stuff is halloween theme, but I changed the color of my meow bot to pink and I plan on working on some Valentine day theme stuff.

This is another robot I made inspired by Iron giant. I'm really curious if my designs would successfully print correctly because I heavily use gradients for that robotic feel. I'd probably want to order a test one before I launch my site live.

I am seeing if I can get IG followers without adding my friends. I like the challenge. I did already get East Bay Yesterday which is a super interesting podcast about the history of the east bay if anyone is interested. I think the mock-up looks non-AI, thoughts?

It seems I am straying a little from black and white line design. The birds didn't look quite right in that form.
