please help me with my workspace

My husband and I just bought a new house, and I'm struggling to decide a layout for our workspace.

For context, I work from home and am also an artist. I need space for my drawing tablet, monitor, sketchbook, all my pencils and pens and brushes, and a large space where I create stop motion figures and environments.
My husband works full time out of the house, but also needs desk space for his monitor and laptop because he is a writer and an occasional gamer.

Because of all this, our desk space has to be pretty huge, and I'm struggling to decide how to lay it all out, especially keeping feng shui in mind.

~ Note, the shape of the desk is not a problem, as I will be custom building a new one :) ~

I've attached some pics of different layouts I created in Floor Planner

  1. this one is great for facing the door at every spot of the desk, but it would require me to cover the closet

  2. this one is nice too, though I wondered if the entryway might be too squished

  3. the worst for feng shui, but very open and spacious feeling. Also covers the windows which makes curtains a pain

  4. might be nice for having lots of desk space, but a really tight squeeze

  5. wonderfully open and spacious, but might be over whelming and bad feng shui

  6. this one is kind of just meh to me, it feels very middle of the road in all aspects
