This is the Art Nouveau inspired background I created for my portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien. I'm pretty pleased with it. It might need some more reworking but I need to see what Tolkien looks like on top of it before I can edit it more. I do really like the inscription of the one ring surrounding the composition, though.
This was an earlier attempt that I ended up trashing:
The bright and gaudy design in the center didn't feel natural at all. I thought that Tolkien would look really strange on top of it. In addition, the gold circle doesn't read as a ring because the little triangles break it up so much.
