Wild Beasts on Marketplace: Revision?

I have been working on some sets of assets for the marketplace, specifically a number simple illusrations of animals. It was suggested to me that I include version with opaque backgrounds, but I had finished and publish a bunch before this was pointed out so I wasn't super keen on changing my format. But now I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be worth making the revision and changing how I'm doing them in the future. They're done like this right now, with a transparent dark and light ring and no ring. I might add something simple along these lines though as well. These ones are up so far. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/832/wild" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/832/wild</a>... <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/846/wild" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/846/wild</a>...

Those are nice! Your art-style and token-border-styles also pair nicely with some other marketplace artist, particularly&nbsp; Sophie Hort and her Pixel Panic series. &nbsp;I know Sophie's tokens, many of the ones I've used, often have that filled-in white background inside the circle; I believe some may offer the transparent circle interior like Jeff's Wild Beasts 1. Thought this might be worth a mention and a look for you to compare border/background style ideas. <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search?keywo" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/search?keywo</a>... I would vote for the most options for the users, if that is possible to offer & tag all the border-styles, so it can be user selectable. I'd choose the no-border or the transparent border with no background (original Wild Beasts 1), if it has to be one-or-the-other. Did you know that GM can apply the AURA setting on Tokens that have the transparent background, and give a similar appearance to the filled background? Try setting up a partly-transparent token with Aura size 2-feet (white) and 1-foot (yellow), on a Wild Beasts 1. &nbsp;It makes a yellowy background and white exterior circle, which is all semi-transparent to the map underneath. &nbsp;Personally I find this is more flexible than a token that is already filled-in with a white or color circle in the token-art. &nbsp; Wiki docs for Aura setting, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Token_Setti" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Token_Setti</a>... That said I've had zero problems with Pixel Panic tokens that have the white filled circle, they work equally well and the advantage of this style is the Token POPS more against richly-colored map backgrounds especially when the viewer is zoomed out (80%, 60% or less, down to 10% to see an entire huge map and still be able to see dots of tokens that pop).
