A:
Bad things
- lightspot is too strong and there is no light flow?
- smudging flow is messed, as the colours used to make it
- text font is really bad
- good part of the render is black, that colour should have been used on effects
Good things
- render and text placement
- subtext

B:
Bad things
- the coloured brushing around neck and chest
- text placement disturbs flow (maybe if the render was placed at the other side of the cavas you should be able to put it at the skull's shoulder)
Good things
- the splatters mixed with the black and white contrast gives it a very nice feeling

PS: its just my poor opinion...

My vote goes to B

My vote goes to B as well, great noir feeling, the gravel splat and the smudge are awesome, decent lighting (kinda reminds me of a movie poster as it is)... i like A as well, but i feel it's too bright and warm for the render...

so far...
A : 0
B : 2

I really like both of these so it'd hard to pick. Here are my thoughts:

A: The ight o his belly is too much/ too bright. It makes it the focal.

B: I actually don't like the borders. I think it takes awayfrom the piece.

Overall I vote for A

A-1
B-3

B gets my vote - there is more of a feel of movement and the focal both fits into and still pops better. Personally think the text might need a little change in placement or a subtext or an accent under it. Also, the border feels unfinished since it seems like it should either have a border on the left side because it feels like there is one on the right side due to coloring

A is just too warm overall in the pallet - the text is excellent though, placement and coloring of it.

I almost want to see the text from A on B if you get what I am thinking.

A- 2
B- 6

Loving the text in A actually, the subtext looks great too. Don't understand the lighting on his belly though. Colours are nicely done.

B - Loving the dark theme. Splatter brush brilliantly used. The yellow lighting (?) kinda disrupts the dark theme imo, and as mentioned earlier, the border could've been better.

Both are nicely done, but A gets my vote.

B-6

A's background is rather too bright n cheerful for the render type. The light from the belly is a bit distracting. Love the text. Though not fond of unreadable subtext. (might be my comp)

B's text is a bit off and the black borders look weird. (jmo)

My vote goes to B as I like the way the artist made the him appear to burst out of the ground, dirt and gravel flying. Good work!

Overall I vote B
I agree with mycurse about the text in A. It looks 'alien' and fits well with the creature I would like to see it on B. I am not a fan of primary colors idk why so that also influences me.
I like the render placement in B it draws attention to the interesting dragon detail on the creature's chest i think font in that color would have made it pop more. The dark feeling of your coloring really works and splatter adds movement and depth.

That said, both awesome work, I bow down to those who are creating! I hope to join you one day :)

While its more clear what B has done I would like to have seen original render here to see how A chose to crop/alter/place it. Very cool thread!
A-3
B-8
