Artwork: Angel and Demon

To bring an end to February: an angel and a demon, one whispering temptations to the other, but perhaps not the way round you'd have expected. With two alternative colour variations!

Inspired by the thumbnail for a random K-Pop song posted onto my Mastodon feed, I just took the idea of one character whispering to another, then added horns and wings, as is my wont.

A digital drawing of a female angel and demon; the angel is whispering into the demon's ear. The demon has long red hair, yellow eyes and ram-like horns and is wearing a sleeveless black dress. She's looking directly at the viewer with little expression on her face. The angel has long blonde hair with a side braid tied back behind her ear, cyan eyes, and is wearing a black corset and pale pink-and-green skirts. She's presented side-on to the viewer, though she's looking neither at the demon nor the viewer, instead glancing somewhere off-panel. Both characters have wings: the demon's leathery, the angel's feathery.
The original drawing, with initial, fairly bright colours.

This was okay, but I wondered if I could do something with a different colour palette. Maybe make the angel more of a 'fallen angel' type, and the demon more 'nature'-oriented?

A digital drawing of a female (fallen?) angel and demon; the angel is whispering into the demon's ear. The demon has long ginger hair, blue eyes and ram-like horns and is wearing a sleeveless green dress. She's looking directly at the viewer with little expression on her face. The angel has dusky skin, long purple hair with a side braid tied back behind her ear, yellow eyes, and is wearing a black corset and charcoal grey skirts. Her halo glows blue. She's presented side-on to the viewer, though she's looking neither at the demon nor the viewer, instead glancing somewhere off-panel. Both characters have wings: the demon's leathery, the angel's feathery—the feathers are blue-grey rather than white.
A variant colouring, with a more of a 'summer' palette.

In which case, why stop at one variant? This time, I went for a colder palette, and played a bit with stamping a pattern onto the demon-woman's dress.

The demon has long blue hair, pale blue skin, icy teal eyes and ram-like horns and is wearing a sleeveless maroon and turquoise dress. She's looking directly at the viewer with little expression on her face. The angel has pale green skin, long green hair with a side braid tied back behind her ear, yellow eyes, and is wearing a burgundy corset and layered gold and black skirts. Her halo glows yellow. She's presented side-on to the viewer, though she's looking neither at the demon nor the viewer, instead glancing somewhere off-panel. Both characters have wings: the demon's leathery, the angel's feathery—the feathers are green-grey rather than white.
The second variant, with a more 'winter' palette.

Any preference as to which of colour scheme strikes you most, imaginary blog reader?
