I asked the artist to go with fifteen-sixteen, which should more reflect her age towards the end of the first volume.

How old is she supposed to be in this scene?

#1. Although #2 fits more thematically with the story, the first picture is more engaging with the viewer, which would help draw in people who are unfamiliar with the work.

#1 because, while both feel a little melancholy, looking up, she looks hopeful or expectant

2 seems like its better when she is not looking at us

Charles Dickmann

#2 simply because she isn't looking straight at the viewer

Holy hell, I've never seen a poll with this many votes in such a dead heat like this. Both ways look too damn amazing, and it's too hard to choose.

I would jump on the #2 train if the expression was a bit different. Currently, she looks a bit at ease, like she's resting on the stairs, fondly reminiscing about some distant, happy memory. The expression doesn't really line-up with the Tabitha we've seen thus far (Who know though, maybe that's where she's headed). If she looked a bit more troubled or contemplative on the tough decisions she needs to make, I'd definitely jump on #2 because I generally prefer compositions where the subject is not looking directly at the viewer. But since I'm voting on current composition rather than hopeful potential, I have to go with #1 because of that more expectant, eyebrows-slightly-perked, "Oh who's this?" kind of look she's giving us. It feels more like the character as I've experienced them to date.
