Funny Fish Pattern

This is pattern is originally from a sketch I did on a post it. I liked how the little guys came out so I decided to make them into a pattern. Here are a few different versions with the same palette.

 
 

I've added a composite with the color scheme I liked the most along with a few coordinating patterns I came up with. I find it fun but challenging coming up with prints that can work with the original. It's hard to find the right balance of being different from the original but also not scream too similar. One thing I tried to concentrate on is balancing the different colors. The backgrounds are so dominating that I found I couldn't really share the same background color or else that color would dominate the collection.
