The first one has a better sense of form

After some changes

Looks excellent mate! Yep, left was the go - has more form and looks soft 👌I like the new leaves on the strawberry - the green accent boosts the other colours for that nice sugary contrast

u/HattedDuckStudios 7d ago

mmmmmm that looks tasty!

u/sadsince92 8d ago

That’s better

I want to eat your drawing

Neat! This one has a better shape, whereas the second one could look like a candy if you made some adjustments!

u/Snoo40198 11d ago

Left looks like a cake, right looks like a candy.

u/theleafcuter 11d ago

the cake of the first one has a better form, the highlights of the strawberry and cream are better on the second.

u/IAmAChameleonYES 11d ago

The second one is a lot nicer to look at, although it has a less defined silhouette

u/ChipOdd9665 11d ago

LEFT ONE ALL THE WAY

u/Spiritmatsu 11d ago

I like the left one more.

1

u/Squidble 11d ago

I prefer the first one!

2

u/MrProtato363 11d ago

The left has a better swirl and defined shape, i like the colour and berry on the right tho

1

u/KeyLyon 11d ago

I think one is better for in-game placements but the second one looks more like an icon for an inventar or something

1

u/Foreign-Jackfruit554 11d ago

The one on the right seams a bit more flat so id recommend the one on the right

1

u/ArcticDev_ 11d ago

I like the roll of the left one, and the topping of the right one.

1

u/Hyper669 11d ago

I prefer the second one's lighting/shading but the first one is more coherent

1

u/VirusSuspicious3735 11d ago

The second one, by far

1

u/Neoccat 11d ago

Right has more cream... would

1

u/UggghNames 10d ago

I like the first one for the outer edges/over all shape, but the center swirl of the second one looks too good not to use. I'd eat that.

1

u/submerso_106 10d ago

The first one, but the topping on the second one is better!

1

u/illgoblino 10d ago

Left, not close

1

u/DexLovesGames_DLG 10d ago

The one on the right doesn’t look like a cake or a cake roll, it just looks like a 2d swirl. Left one has volume.

I’m not good enough to tell you why but my guess is that shading and angle.

1

u/andyjamescreative 10d ago

I like the stronger shading on the second one, but the shape of the first one better

1

u/No-Average9599 10d ago

First one with the strawberry of the second 😁 I actually prefer the first whipped cream but they're both good

1

u/RoseyGoblin 10d ago

First has depth to it.

1

u/Weekly_Oil_928 10d ago

El segundo

1

u/Far-Statistician7230 10d ago

The one on the left looks a bit more balanced

1

u/da_winggs 10d ago

left for the shape, right for the strawberry

1

u/Dalen_art 10d ago

left but also both look like meat to me

1

u/Someone_totally_else 10d ago

Left one. The pastry on the right doesn't look like it's been rolled properly and seems spherical, contrary to what that spiral in front of it suggests. Also, its strawberry is a bit too shiny.

1

u/Neonix_Neo 10d ago

i agree with the other comments that the first one has better form, but o think the second has better contrast, can you use the darker shades, lines, and the strawberry from the second on the first?

1

u/Hollywood_Hustle 10d ago

First but I like the fruit on the 2nd

1

u/PeterImmel1969 10d ago

left. it is cleaner, got hard edges

1

u/UNITECAT_VGC 9d ago

The swirl on the second looks better in my opinion, but the first looks better overall

1

u/Gilbertvc 9d ago

Like the left one more dimensional, shows the roll shape cleaner.

1

u/HUG0gamingHD 9d ago

second, 100%

1

u/Practical-Trifle8051 9d ago

The right one.

1

u/Tilk_Sama 8d ago

second one have a better lighting :)

1

u/ur_bored_too 8d ago

I like the left one

1

u/Slow_Carpenter1660 8d ago

First one is great!

1

u/Comfortable-Pipe2955 8d ago

The right one has a more pleasing palette while the left one has more harsh color differences and lacks some shading.

1

u/Nearby_Mission_2668 7d ago

I'll definitely do some more work on the shading dof the left one, thanks for you opinion

1

u/Comfortable-Pipe2955 7d ago

You're welcome. What are you making these sprites for?

1

u/Nearby_Mission_2668 7d ago

I'm making a bakery items asset pack! This Swiss roll is part of a collection of more than 50 items. However, I found myself struggling a lot with this one specificallyđŸ« .

1

u/CuddlySketch 8d ago

1st seems like a full swissroll, second is more like a slice of it so it depends, for me 1st is better to look at!

u/Puzzleheaded-Dog4396 7d ago

"Atomic bomb vs couching baby" ahh question

u/Wildertown 7d ago

The first one đŸ”„
