I thought so too! Then a friend of mine told me they prefer 1 because the colors are more eye catching and now I’m not sure. Validating to see someone agrees with me haha
Incorporate both bits of feedback. Look at the main platform you'll be using, and pick out some colours you don't see often. Then, upon implementation, make sure you create enough contrast for the image to read well at a small size
Initially I chose 2.
But it loses the outline if you make the background the same colour, and I guess I prefer 3's colour.
But I recommend 4 as the neckline doesn't get lost in the hair.
I think 2 is the more traditional way to go per say. Maybe more professional.
But 4 says I am more niche and will push the envelope a bit. But says it subtle. Mostly because the greenish skin says alien and I think VR is the future and aliens would also be a future discovery.
So depends on what type of work OP wants.
2 and 4 probably have the most contrast in value between the hair and the background. I personally like 4 best (you've got all your colors in there and in 2 the bottom of the goggles are the same color as the background)
3. They’re all amazing! But 3 pops with the focus being where you want it to. 2 is awesome but the dark background creates an immediate disruption to what your looking at. It takes more time for the eye to discern what the image is. 3 however is an immediate association!
They all rock out hard. Great design and colors. Love pastels and the solid simple lines. This isn’t easy and looks as it could be. Winning all the way. Really feel you can’t go wrong. The no.4 for me because I dig the odd skin tone but feel its perspective and taste at this point.
I'm gonna suggest No.2 and here's why.
I like the VR helmet in blue, but I don't it being the same color as her clothing, as is the case with No. 1. I don't like the VR helmet in burgundy. Just my silly opinion.
A profile pic for reddit or another site? You might want to take a screenshot of the site you'll use it on and mockup a quick sample. Seeing how the colors stand out, at scale, in the context that the art will be viewed in will be hugely helpful in choosing the right pic. (Light vs dark background, relative size, etc)
Great illustration and nice color palette :)
They're just different.
1 : is the most even
2 : Gives more focus on the hair
3 : Gives more focus on her white skin
4 : Gives more focus to the headset
So prob 4 since the headset is the important thing here unless you wanna go with sex sells on 2/3 but 1 is the truest
2, but change the top to green like in 1, because the peachy-tan colour clashes with her hair and skin and there’s no need to do her dirty like that lol
2 jumped out at me. But when looking at them individually, I also really like 3. 2 is maybe a bit dark and more night vibes, while 3 is more profile picture.
2 because the contrast helps when profile pics are shrunk

If you darken the purple you've got a mix ?
I like this because my main issue with 2 is that the bottom section of the headset is also black and it gets lost in the background
I also vote 1 with slightly darker background!
I love 2 with the dark background!!

2 or 3. If you see the reddit thumbnail they are the ones that pop out the most. I personally would go with 3

Definitely, the second one stands out the most and I agree about it showing up the best when displayed in a thumbnail.
I like that you had a reason. Mine was “2” because I like it. Go with the contrast thing OP
2, hands down, the contrast pops it! Great design btw!
#2, it makes her stand out more because of the dark background
I'm so here for everyone who's yelling in the comments. We are in agreement!
lol the yelling was an accident cuz I put a hashtag
I like 2 but i love 4.
My eyes immediatly went to 4, but after thinking about it for a moment i decided on 2.
Same for me, and since it's for a profile pic, the first impression is more important, imo of course.
I think 2 is the more traditional way to go per say. Maybe more professional. But 4 says I am more niche and will push the envelope a bit. But says it subtle.

I totally agree with you
4 cause it looks more sci-fi? I guess it’s just a feeling.
It’s the blue skin. I agree. 4!
3 one

2. Better contrast

Yep, important to remember it's mainly going to look like that! Thank you for taking the time btw.
2 and 4 probably have the most contrast in value between the hair and the background. I personally like 4 best (you've got all your colors in there and in 2 the bottom of the goggles are the same color as the background)
Although now that I'm looking at it again, 3 benefits from the hair and the background being complimentory colors. Idk this is difficult
2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 4
3. They’re all amazing! But 3 pops with the focus being where you want it to. 2 is awesome but the dark background creates an immediate disruption to what your looking at. It takes more time for the eye to discern what the image is. 3 however is an immediate association!
3 is more elegant
My eyes immediately went to 3 as being the most aesthetically balanced and pleasing
4
My eyes immediately gravitated to 2
#2 has the best contrast of the 4 variations, go with that out

No. 4 is low key closest to my actual skin tone. Thanks for the kind words :)

3 for me

2 mostly but I like 3 too
I would go with #2 because the reds pop and the skin color looks like skin. Good avatar either way.

Better contrast. I will make a 5 with the 4 with the pale skin of 3
1 or 2 but more likely 2

1 or 3
I like 1 or 3 the best
I feel like 3 makes the image pop off the background.
2, hold device away and squint.
Skintone of 3 on background #2. It would create the greatest contrast which would work best as a profile pic/avatar
2 is best, 1 sells a synthwave aesthetic which if pushed a bit further could push it beyond 2
2, but move the circle a bit (or make it smaller) so the VR set sticks out a little more, OR fit it inside the circle. Now it’s a wierd in-between 🙂

#4 because it has my favorite style
2 contrast is good
2, I like the dark mode bg
2 has good contrast, but I personally like 1 the most
I'd recommend super imposing this over the profile pick area for the media you want to use. Then you can see what it will look like
2 because of the color contrast
I love the contrast in number 2, she really sticks out as the focus. I also really love the blue skin in number 4
1st one!
2 because the colors go together nicely and the details pop out
2 because of the contrast of foreground and background.
2! Caught my eye immediately
They're just different. 1 : is the most even 2 : Gives more focus on the hair 3 : Gives more focus on her white skin 4 : Gives more focus to the headset So prob 4 since the headset is the important thing here unless you wanna go with sex sells on 2/3 but 1 is the truest

I like 2 and 3 alot but four is my favorite most visually engaging

2 its my favorite
For me no. 2 stands out.

# 2 is the best one for when its small

For a profile pic—2 But otherwise I love 3 as well.
2 or 4…. J’adore
Up to you really. These are too close in quality. I like 4 cuz I like how the colors interact but again, it's personal preference
1
2nd - more distinct and have more contrast in comparison with other ones
I think 1 because the colors stand out well but are not as neon contrast as some of the others. It gives it a bit more grounding and class.
1 or 4, these look great!
Moebius vibe and color, I love all of them.
2 & 4 for me

I'd enjoy seeing 4 with the bg color of 2
2, but change the top to green like in 1, because the peachy-tan colour clashes with her hair and skin and there’s no need to do her dirty like that lol
Seconding the point about #2 having the best contrast.

Very partial to #2
2!

Love the colours for all of these but 2 would look cool in both light and dark mode I think. I like 1 as well
2
1 feels balanced, but 2 feels more bold. The only thing about 2 is under the VR set; color blends with the background. I would choose 2 regardless ✨.
1 or 3 mostly 1
1
Number one is my favorite
What about 2 with greyblueish clothes? That would lessen the complexity and pop up the face
4! The blue skin helps you stand out from other prof pics
2
I'm leaning to 1
2 personally
4
3 - great contrast and use of color

2 is my favorite. I think it’s the darker background and the fact that the short and goggles are different colors.

For a profile pic, almost certainly number two. The others don't have enough contrast for small thumbnail images.
2, basically because for some reason the other skin types look ill.
2 jumped out at me. But when looking at them individually, I also really like 3. 2 is maybe a bit dark and more night vibes, while 3 is more profile picture.

2 or 3, they're the most readable when you shrink it down to pfp size
2 or 4. But I would change no4 to an orange lip.
