V1 looks best to me. The depth in the tag is good, and I like the color, but there's something wrong with the stock. It just doesn't fit. The edges of it look funky and he looks a little over sharpened. The text kind of sucks, too. If it had a different stock it'd be loads better, but it's still nice. Good job.
Unfortunetly, I'll have to disagree. The render works with the effects he put. You could tell he was "trying" to make it fit into the sig. And it worked. The head, is probably the only part that seems odd, but the variations of colors you put into it, it fits decently. The render seems a bit oversharpened, since I can see a stroke right under the eyes and the head. The text isn't bad, but could be better. V1 looks best IMO. Great job, keep it up.
