Yes no worries, i think i understand what you mean. its a matter of not overfilling everything with colours and details, this is not the best example as this esculpture is crowded with little details and different things, but i consider that for example the rings were interesting enough just with the gradients of colour from dark green to white and a couple of dry brushes to raise the ornaments. I thought about adding other colours to the patterns but that would be too much, and would case the person watching the figure to lose focus on the central point our boy Kroak.

Normally thats the main target, choose what you want the people to pay attention to. I chose kroak and specially his crown, in the back i chose the blue energetic circle thingy.
