Which of these designs should I use in the Sailor Moon artbook?
Added 2021-08-14 07:33:42 +0000 UTCHey all! I've started thumbnailing designs for the Sailor Moon artbook this week and it's been really fun brainstorming. I plan to have multiple series in the artbook, but there's one particular series of designs that I need some feedback on.
This series is inspired by the "Sailor" part of Sailor Moon - sailor-inspired fashion. I love the silhouettes, but I'm having trouble choosing from these three versions.
Version 1: Celestial

This was my original concept, dark velvet embroidered with golden stars and moons + white accents with pale gold constellation patterns. My concern is that the starry theme is too busy? Or that I might want to use the celestial theme in other designs, and I'm wondering if it's all right to have multiple series with the same starry velvet in one artbook.
Version 2: Minimal

This is the same as Version 1 with the celestial parts removed. I think it looks pretty sleek as is.
Version 3: Signature Color

This would be like Version 2 except instead of velvet it'll be a different fabric tinted with each character's signature color.

I love all three of these versions so part of me kind of wants to include multiple versions, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea haha. Anyways, you can vote below for multiple choices - if you can elaborate in the comments on your voting choices, that would be much much appreciated!

(but also I voted for signature colors, because that’s what I’d pick if you didn’t want to combine them)
