The arrows for one thing. With that I'll say I like version 2 better, because the arrows fits more seamlessly. The image itself is very nice, I like the colors and the stock is good quality.
This is adorable c: I love the colours and the flow. The stock seems really sharpened though - but I kind of like it! I agree with Droid, I like the second better because of the placement of arrows.
Oh wow, how did I not notice that? I agree, #2 is much better. The arrows look forced in #1, if that makes any sense.
Pretty good :) v.2 does look better, I actually had to stare at the two for a moment to figure out the difference though lol. The two arent that different, but I suppose improvement is improvement. I am sure your friend will love it. :D
I really liked the colours that you used. In version 1, I found that the arrows, in a way, distracted me from the render (but that just might be me), whereas in version 2, the arrows were a lot more subtle. Overall, I think version 2 looks better. The way you placed the arrows gave it a nice layered effect. (: I hope your friend likes it !
It's very nice, simplistic but it works well. The colours and flow are nice, the arrows also help with the flow. Great job!
I like it, but it is very small? It is barely twice the size of an avatar. Good work, I guess. Good coloration. It is just crammed into a tiny space, and it looks... Limited.
