New Backdrops? (Patreon)

I think backdrops were a step in the right direction, but even after I introduced them something felt missing. Maybe it's another art crisis haha, but I did produce this new version more presentable for the square format and hopefully more professional looking because I've long felt that something about my work still felt amateur. This backdrop makes the leap to full color and is more closely inspired by Alphonse Mucha than the last backdrop, but hopefully still original.

The only issue is that there is less room for customization here - if someone commissions me they'll probably get a single or dual-colored circle by default and then more detail in the circle if they pay extra. Which is less work for me, but I don't know, maybe having a consistent "IG aesthetic" can get boring real quick?

I'm like 90% sure I'm converting to these at some point, but even so I'd love to get your thoughts - do you prefer this or the old version?

I feel like as far as variety goes both in terms of insta and commissions humans think they want like endless variation but actually prefer just enough variation so that things feel both recognizable and yet not redundant. I don't know if that helps with goal setting or your fears but it seems to me just slightly building out your options is enough. I stan this and I do think you meet your goal of looking more professional. There's something about it that seems like a more visually complete product now. I worry the saturation of color here is competing/blending in too heavily with the central images though.

oh my that new background is an art in itself!! I agree with Gregory that it looks kinda busy in some of them, so maybe the client can choose between them?

Oh thank you! I think switching between the two might make the artwork look inconsistent to be honest so I'd rather focus on correcting the new backdrop. Which ones does it look busy for?

Thank you! Yeah I think playing with saturation is a composition skill which is something I need to work on. I think the pink one is a good example of what you mean but are there others where it looks busy to you?
