I am having troubles choosing a color. Green or blue?

I kinda like the green one better it pops out more better and it compliments the black nicely .

Yeah, I am leaning towards that too. But alot of people like to wear blue more than green. But than again, its ALOT of blue designs out there.

The blue feels like winter and the character is wearing shorts/tshirt. Are those snowflakes i see? One thing i find a little distracting is that the background horizon is right at the characters eye level. Maybe try bringing it down to arm or even knee height?

Thanks for the helpful advice, Eric Diaz! It`s not supposed to be winter, but I see how it can be mistaken for it. The "snowflakes" are supposed to be glowing insects, not sure what they are called in english. Any advice on them? Yeah, I will take a look at the horizon, I think you are right it would probably look better lower down. Thanks again!

The green is better, the 2nd option is a bit too bright for a night scene. I'm not sure what you can do about the insects but they do look more like snowflakes. Perhaps you can use straight lines to imitate the effect of the glow on the bugs.

Fireflies or lightning bugs i think. Making them less symmetrical will help a lot. Maybe have some swirling black dotted lines behind some of them to show that they've been flying around. Also making them darker with a white rear end could help. Good luck on this!

I think I will go for the green, then. I`ll try to do something to the fireflies, tried to loose them, but I really think the design needs it. is it obvious enough that the person is a girl? And do you think I have to work some more on her, or is she finished?
