1st

v1, hmm dont know if I like it or not cant really put my hand on it but somthing bugs me

render is good but grimey/dirty, could do with more light or clening up, gets repetitive because you are using clipping masks with the render

IMO

It's too dark and the background is very repetitive. The text is horrid too, low opacity text is not good and the eye circle i'm not a fan of :\

Needs more work imo.

I would say the text on v2, simply because it groups your focal points together, instead of making eyes wander back and forth like v1.
