I chose 1600 x 1200 because that's what the Hardy wallpaper is in. It
fits the very common 4:3 ratio. But I work in double size (3200 x 2400
px) to have an easier time with details and to have headroom :)

I have layers with black bars to simulate 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. With 16:9
the ends of the horns get rather close to the edge, but it still seems
to be an acceptable composition in all these cases.

Thank you! :)

Thanks also to Marc Schroth!
