Please read the generative AI submission guidelines before submitting generative AI content. Any image that contains what could be perceived as recognizable people MUST be submitted with a signed property release.

If looks human, needs a release. "Proprietary" if totally random created, "Model" if uses as base the apparence of a real person

If biblical genealogy is an accurate telling, Jesus, Joseph & Mary were from the Houses of David, Solomon and the tribe of Judah. The idea that they had classic Northern European gene lines (light brown hair, fair skin and blue eyes) seems to contradict all we know about their reported Israelite lineage. More likely, they were people with dark hair, dark eyes and warm skin tones.

My guess is that Adobe Stock won't reject the "Holy Family" on this basis alone. But it could be a good racial diversity project for someone. Just my 2 cents.

My 2 cents: 2000 years ago, people from Palestine looked like people from that region of today. But the description speaks of Greek godnesses. But old Greeks probably didn't look also like pictured. But lets say that is artistic freedom.

Did you title, keyword and submit as "Generative AI Illustration?"

If not, you will need to do that to ensure customers know exactly what they're getting.
