I did the small one first and initially just scaled it up for preview. All the details I made afterwards - I was kind of carried away with a process:) Maybe I'll make a portrait and change the preview so there will be no "cheating calls"
I am curious, which version did you make first?
I like the big one a lot, but the small one seems really unattractive to me..
Using the preview pic for a bigger version has to be cheating 
I think this is one of my favorites in the challenge so far :)
