Digital Art back into the swing of things

Im trying to get back into gfx.

I like the first one because it's bright, and it looks more alive.

The second one, I'ma at a lose for the word.

/:

 

I think the second one's better. I don't like the mix of warm and cool colors in the first one. the second just looks like it was planned out a lot better :/ other than that, they're not bad.

 

It's a good /simple tag. I'm thinking the second one has better lighting. It could be blended a bit better, rising smoke or something. This one is a personal thought, but maybe another adding another color would be nice.

 

You did a decent job on it. I can't really think of anything that hasn't already been said to critique on this either. Apart from that the darkened bit on the bottom left corner could be blended a little bit more so it looks a bit more natural. Keep up the good work mate :D
Can I use v1 please? :3

 

Feel free to use it, just gime credit and Im cool with it.

 

The second one appeals to me more, because the colors seem to mix better. The first one is fine, but if you compare both side by side, it looks darker not as good. Second one also seems brighter, which makes the colors jump out more.

 

USE A TEXTURE!
make it steezy.
