Beyond the Prompt: Building a Professional AI Art Workflow
Beyond the Prompt: Building a Professional AI Art Workflow
In the rapidly evolving world of generative AI, versatility is key. Professional creators don't just "type and pray"—they use a stack of tools.
Here is a 3-step workflow that we use at Seedream to create complex assets using our partner ecosystem.
Step 1: Ideation & Style Exploration (GPTImage1.5)
When you are just starting, you might only have a vague idea. GPTImage1.5 Art is perfect for this phase because it's highly interpretative.
- Action: Generate 10 variations of your concept.
- Tool:

Step 2: Asset Generation (NanoBanana)
Once you have your idea, you might need specific elements—like a logo for a character's shirt, or a clean icon for the background.
- Action: Generate isolated assets on a white background.
- Tool:
https://www.ai-nanobanana.pro - Why: Its precision ensures you don't get "messy" artifacts when you try to cut out the image later.
Step 3: Final High-Fidelity Render (Seedream)
Now, bring it all together. Use Seedream's powerful backend to finalize the look with photorealistic lighting.

Why Diversify?
Different AI models have different "latent spaces." One might understand lighting better, while another excels at composition. (See our Top 5 Generators list for more options).
Pro Tip: Save your favorite seeds from each platform. A seed that works well in NanoBanana might produce interesting chaos in Seedream!
Final Thoughts
At Seedream, we believe in the power of the AI community. Whether you stick with us or explore our partner sites, the most important thing is to keep creating.
