This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
Which one of these is the best? See my prior post for the space this needs to fit in. But the basics are "Mucha style framing fill motif" with a tropical theme. I am leaning towards one of the first two. But if you have a different idea please draw it up and present it.
2 or 3
2 looks a little like Sakura designs
3 has more tropical vibes as I see that flower all over the tropics
I feel like 3 is just inept. I need to work on it.
it reads as birds of paradise. I like it more than #1 because it gives more variation on the way up. #2 and #3 work for frames; #1 is too unique / not repeating enough, and #4 & 5 are too repetitive (perhaps with color and shading - and some projected shadows - you could pull it off but why not go with the more interesting linework?)
that's just my own opinions tho. lovely stuff all over. #1 is so detailed I want more of it horizontally and feel it's underserved as border detail.
Number 2 is plumeria, the flower of leis. So it's definitely tropical.
Or 2 AND 3? It looks like cherry blossom and birds of paradise?
The first one looks best to me!
Can you tell what it is? I think it's the most interesting but I'm a little worried that people won't recognize what it's supposed to represent.
Looks a little like a century plant to me but I'm not knowledgeable about tropical plants.
Edit: is it aloe??
Narrator: it was definitely aloe
Looks a bit like hops, but upside down.
Hops have much smaller leaves. And the cones are upside down. But I'm just a person who has brewed a lot of beer.
1, 3, 5, in that order. #5 is more tribal in nature, reminiscing of Marajoara polygonal motifs in pottery.
2,1,3
You can probably use both of the first two, if you want - i.e. the 1st one in the bottom half, the 2nd one on the top half. They're are certainly examples of similar being done in his art nouveau stuff.
The space these will occupy are parallel. So they should match for art nouveau.
Aha, #1 in both :)
Maybe a coconut tree would look good in one of them?
That's a good idea. Just narrow enough to fit the profile
Took these pics for you from a local brunch spot here in Sri Lanka as some inspo hth
Thank you. Some interesting leaf shapes there. And I've never seen a one color bird of paradise before.
#2 and #3 or a combination of the two
I vote for the plumeria. But I hope you're going to use color to get that beautiful shading from a deeper center to pale edges. And shading to bring out that pinwheel effect of the petals.
