Both are good.. I kind of like the darker one more because it makes the character stand out better. Though the girl in the bottom-right hand corner somehow doesn't work to strengthen the composition. Maybe something a little more dynamic there? I really like the little metal robot in the top-left, brighter image. It'd be nice to bring him down to the darker one.

They're both good, but the thing I don't like as much about the first one is the kind of bleach-eraser effect used to composite the hero onto that scene. I think if that were not so conspicuous I might prefer the first.

More contrast might be a good idea on the dungeony background of the dark one, to create more drama.

In both cases, I think the shadow from the helmet on the hero's face somehow diminishes the facial expression. Maybe a little tweak to the facial expressions might create more drama.


I definitely suggest making the 'B' in Battle brighter.. It's sort of darker than the rest. (I first kind of read it as 'attle against the lies' on the dark one) Might even be good to try starting the radial gradient there on the B, rather than in the middle..

Amazing work!!
