Personally I like before better. My opinion. To be honest wether the old or revised version is better is up to who is looking at it. I like old because I like that style. Ether way great job hope you feel proud

Colors are less vibrant in the new one, but it compliments the mood of the picture itself: dead people call for dead (grey/green/etc) colors, even if the Virgin is not dead herself, she is accepted amongst them. She gives off a motherly aura in the redone piece, whereas to me the Virgin of the old one seems to be uninterested and uncaring.

The only thing that nags at me is that none seem to have that unf or punch. The redux seems to give more meaning and understanding to it, but I think it would have helped if there was a bit more in the picture (Maybe a background or just more exposure of the dead than what's seen).

Both pieces are nice and there's more anatomical understanding in the redux (Chest/waist/hands good god those hands) and the shading is astronomically different (The redux is like shade porn heaven to me and the less harsh lighting gives for a more subtle shade, not to mention that the dead are in the shadow while the mainly illuminated figure is the Virgin) and just overall sees how much you've improved.

Thanks! I really like your input on this ^^ I rarely get comments/ critiques like these sadly...

I might take another tackle at this an add some more in the background of the newer one one of these days. Something to push it.

The new one's chest is way too thin and her waist is way too skinny too. The hands and head on the new one are way better though, as well as the colouring :)

EDIT: scratch that, I got confused that the new one was on the right!

I liked the old one's head better as well as the monster hands, but the new one's proportions are way better!

very good, better proportion in the girl, light and shadows :)

while the new one is realistic... The old one it more... It has more style to it. Even if the woman in the old it excessively skinny

It looks more realistic, sure, but it has lost a bit of composition/dynamism....

I prefer 2009 even though the body is really exaggerated.

New body on the girl is better. Old zombie hands are better. Just bein honest.
