I really enjoy both images, rubes. Great job. I like how the colors invert as the hair and stars overlap and those butterflies are nicely detailed. I must say that I like the former version moreso, as the contrast is just so jarring in the latter one. I don't think that the purple and white works out as well as greyscaled version could have. Also, it seems that you've crammed lots of objects in the upper righthand corner and leave a lot out under the last heart and between the stars. It's cluttering up small spaces and leaving gaps in the flow, it seems. It is interesting to note that the girl's face is given so much attention and shading whilst the rest of the image suffers from a mostly two-tone touch.

I appreciate real contributions to this forum, and not all this "signature" drivel. <3
