@Graindolium, Some of your WIPs are more classic portraits than 'ULTRA-close-up'. Keep yourself in check, k.

Halp!!

Which one to chose?! Please decide for me! I'll go blind if I stare at these any longer.

I'd go with the last one. Just looks the most clean. I find the increased shading in the others to detract from the cleaness, and doesn't really add much more depth.

I'd pick the third one :P Looks simple, and clean.

No. 2 haven't gotten any positive feedback. So that one is out of the game. Usually that means there's fewer to chose between. But these green faces multiply with frightening speed! Even though I kill half of them the growth is still exponential.

Please review the following specimens and chose the ones to kill. Tell me which you like the best too if you want. But more importantly, tell me which you don't like, and I'll get rid of them.

Original:

High contrast:

Out of those, I'm liking UHC 2 the most.

ditto

here's a color edit.

upped the warm/cool contrast a bit by moving away from the blue/green/yellow palette and moving the highlights closer to pink and the shadow closer to purple.

Thanks for the tip! It might sound strange, but I feel your edit has given the pic too much depth. It kinda supposed to look flat and stencil-like. But your right about widening the colour range, so I made two versions.
