What Should I Use

I'm entering an SOTW on another gfx site and I need to know which one of these look like a winner. Your help is appreciated along with tips that can help me improve the tag.

 

Not sure, I like the first one a lot, maybe the best, but the others ones are good too. Remember to have a border if you don't on some of those, since it doesn't seem like it. It makes it look a lot better in my opinion.

Another though, shouldn't this be graphics discussion?

 

i put it here because i also wanted C&C lol. any other opinions?

 

i think 1looks amazing, but 2 and 4 are really good too. only one im not feeling is number 3.
my choice is number one

 

these look sick. very nice flow to it

 

Very nice tag, it has some nice effects and flow. I like the first version the most.

 

Second. First feels a bit washed out near his face, like there's white brushing overtop.

 

I like the second and third...lighting and depth look really good.

 

v2 is so sick!

 

i would use v1 the effects and flow on it are quite nice
