U an working on https://createmascot.art/ a tool for software teams to create a consistent brand mascot and generate illustrations of it for empty states, onboarding, 404 pages, launch graphics, etc.

AI can make a good one-off character, but keeping that same character consistent across dozens of product illustrations is still surprisingly difficult. That’s the problem I’m trying to solve.

Would love any feedback.
