Okay, guys, I need your help.
I did this pinup of Poison Ivy, toned it with a combo of warm and cool grey markers and with some gel pen highlights (and bleed corrections). That's the first one of the three. When I scanned it, I did some colorization experiments, first doing the whole thing green, then adding a red tone to the hair and apple. I’m putting them here for comparison: tell me which one you prefer, or if you have any suggestions for colour toning. This will be an available print at FanExpo.
Thanks for your input!

The one on the left looks like her appearance in Batman: The Animated Series, more human than plant. The one on the right looks like her remade version, more plant than human. Personally, I like the one on the left, but I think it's a matter of taste.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go mop up some drool. :)

I really like the greyscale one. The one with the red highlights looks nice too, but her costume blends in too much with her skin tone. It needs to be a slightly different shade/brightness of green.
Or another option would be to put the red highlights onto the greyscale pic. I like the idea of it being her in the winter.

I'm actually really liking the one on the left ( the cool-toned one). Although that color scheme doesn't really read "Ivy", more like a generic babe with a plant theme to her. The middle one is bland and boring. The one on the right is more true to Ivy and people can recognize her bang on as Poison Ivy. It would be nice if perhaps, the background on the right had a bit more of a contrast to make her pop out rather than blend too much with her, since she's entirely green. Perhaps change the tone in the BG? In either case, nice work! I'm sure you'll make a good decision :)
Thanks for the input!
I've tried changing the background colour but it got to a point where the whole purpose of the monochrome picture was getting lost and it started to look too busy (plus I couldn't get a good colour match there). I ultimately went with prints of the first and third pictures.
