Description
This is an older piece (you can find it a bit further back in my gallery) that I've been meaning to go back and revise for a long time, finally had the gumption to try working on it some more. Β I feel 10x more confident working on background elements now than when I first made this piece, I actually shunned adding anything in and started the background work more as a filler of sorts (which eventually turned into a more fleshed out background that still had weak elements in it). Β I yanked out the flames/torch things on the lower right, it feels empty like I need more visual noise there for something, I might work on that later, too, also added in the building in the top left side, again it's more a case of feeling confident enough where I can 'just' add in elements without 100% second-guessing myself.... now it's more like 50/50 lol

It looks quite majestic, I love how the figure seems to glow and the wings look fluid and thin as paper 
What I also like in the background is how there seems to be different layers, like the foreground is more saturated than the background; love that kind of depth in any image

Thank you kindly! ^_^ Β The background depth was something I wanted to have in the first version but wasn't confident enough with executing on that

Like them both...a lot. Β Both have an aspect I like. Β The green (buildings) on the top corners in the new one frame it better for me...the flames and what appears to be a cave on the lower left add a bit more depth. Β Both are great...power of the internet.

Mind if I'm honest?
I liked the original better. With this one, the canvas kind of feels crooked. In the original, the buildings were approximately the same height, and what the right side lacked in height and solidity it made up for with the torches. In this one, the building on the top left feels kind of forced - it's probably because the buildings in the foreground are not quite as sharp as that one, and the one on the bottom right looks more like a carved bit of rock than anything.Β
I also liked the sky in the original better, because while this one looks more natural and cheery, like a bright summer's day, the original kind of had a foggy look to it, like those purple plumes of what I can only assume is smoke had gathered in the sky to give it a kind of eerie feel.Β
Things are also much sharper in the original version. While the soft look to this one looks amazing on the wings, I feel like the original gave a really crisp slap-in-the-face with its unexpectedly clear details and with the more fleshed-out look of the lower subject. It was a painting you wouldn't expect to look like the mirror surface of a lake, but which did anyway.Β
Don't get me wrong, I love both versions. It's just that I love the first one more.
