Super Good Work of ME

Hey guys
i think this is the fist time im writing here so abit excited :P
well its been like 3-4 months since i quit my job.(believe it or not but i was working as TD :))
so since then i ve been working on this project called Necromancer Cleaner(well had some freelance work so not entirely)
and finally i m almost done with the picture but still missing background,some effects and comp.
but im pretty lost with look of it cuz i changed some of the skin materials,lights and camera angle to give him
more scary look.However when i thought i was done with the look, i checked my old renders and got confused which path i should take and ofcourse i found the solution coming here and ask for u guys opinions.
So which one do u think looks better?
Left Side image i wanted to go for more comic look/ sharp shadows,darker and scray
Right(old render) side more like kind of human-fish like skin
well im fully open to ur critics.abit bored by this work but wanna push it a little bit more to get better result and satisfaction.
i hope u all doing fine and really missed you all but ian just kidding!
cheers Erdem
