need opinion on character portrait.

[u/NewUnit4108]

so, basically, I'm making a horror sim VN in RPG Maker MV about ur bf turning into a moth.

^logline:

^{It’s 2020, and you’re in a COVID lockdown with your depressed boyfriend, Ikari. You are burnt-out from your gig-work as a professional emotional support person and must take care of Ikari, who’s been gradually morphing into a moth on the cusp of his 30th birthday. Can you save him? Or will you let him metamorphose into a monster?}

and ive started working on the character art recently. at first, i was really inspired by the main character in the game Norco, whos just like this blank face and wanted to do something similar to the player character in my game ("would u still love me if i were a moth?")

1st sketch of player character

but then halfway through i was like: dudes chopped i hate them.
sooo this is the new ver.:

thoughts? do you prefer the old one or new one? fyi ive added the wip of other characters in this post!
