As an art nouveau-ist myself, I really appreciate your piece. Your pallette is very harmonised, and the balance is right in a peculiar way. I personally like the moon phases. My only notation would be that the lineart especially around the hand and bust kind of reffers to something more cartoonish, and that maybe makes the artwork a little less 'serious', but this could also be on purpose, it all has to do with What you are aiming at. Another thing would be that maybe you'd like to consider having clearer shadow and light forms, I am reffering to the background, which has more or less the same values also following in the bottom dress. It makes the circle more of a subject than the girl. It is a lovely piece of art and I wish you all the best, keep up the good work and art nouveau!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful critique! I really appreciate your sharing your dissection and ideas. I guess the reason it is reminiscent of nouveau, but not fully inspired, is because we were given a "mood board" on pinterest of images for inspiration for these posters and some were nouveau and some were in various other styles so this is sort of a convergence. As for the circle, I agree it does look odd and draws too much attention in this version- but we had to leave a space for the tour dates so that's where those would be listed. Thank you again for all your thoughts and encouragement! It's so appreciated!

This is beautiful I especially love the attention to detail within the line work. The use of space is amazing and really leads the eye to the center of the piece.

I don't even like Florence and the machine (I don't know why, I never do with music I like or don't), but this is really great.
I like the mixture of art nouveau and psychedelic with the slightly occulty symbols.
