"A new design" was required for this client.
It's the same idea, same posture, same faces, almost everything is the same but in a new way.
This wasn't an easy task, designing the same thing but still looking new isn't that easy.
1st I started with designing the bodies, I used AI to generate them.
Then I needed a sky (client's request), I used stock photos.
I added the faces, halos, cross, crown, virgin Mary's image + a frame.
I decreased he saturation of the background and made objects color (anything that had a color) more colorful to increase contrast, you can''t make white more colorful.
It was exhausting and boring.

This was a scene in a novel, there were 2 people outside a winter hut. The female had a wound in her finger and she showed it to the male person.
There was an arctic fox, dove, a white rodent, a red flower on the ground, and few blood droplets on the ground.
I had to search for the proper subjects suitable for this environment, I had to "puppet warp" their exact position (according to the novel)
White subjects behind a white background were challenging, so I placed them where they should be (according to the novel) and added things to make the snow "less white" (white rodent) or used a colorful background (fox and dove).
Highlights and shadows weren't easy, It was challenging and fun.

This was a (local) fashion brand that targeted young and adult women (not mature), this can be seen by the choice of vivid and colorful pink.
This was for a foreigner client, this was a health and spiritual place. I used a lotus flower, a person meditating in a lotus position and a crown chakra to represent serenity and spiritual growth. The client wanted anything pink in the logo.
This is another (local) fashion business, but this one targeted adult and mature women. I used a less saturated and less powerful pink.
I hope it's clear why I prefer freelance clients. They have different requests and require more "advanced" skills to meet their requests.
I'll pamper my client because he's MY CLIENT.
