I think I'll be going with the first WIP even though I'm REALLY fond of the second one - mostly because while he is a deeply sad character, I want to show him hiding that feeling because one of the main fixtures of his personality is how he conceals his emotions. But ... idk.
PLEASE tell me if u think one just looks better or more compelling than the other LOL
Edit : btw i posted the images in the wrong order so the email preview will be showing the 2nd pic first
