The stock in the first one looks kind of LQ... it's a bit monotone and flat. I like the colors and feel of the second one. There's part of it that has depth, but something else on top of it that makes it look flat. I don't know if I explained that right.
true.. the render does look LQ and sorta flat. 2nd one is better but the colors seem a bit washed out.
not so sure about the first one, he effects are nice but it looks flat and unfinished and the colors aren't so good. i like the second one a lot, i think the "washed out" effect gives it a more complete look. and there's a part at the top that does take away in the depth, but in a good way imo. 5.5/10 on the first one 8/10 the second one
