Love the BW. Really skillful use of the brush, to the delight of all the brush wielding folk. We can appreciate the skill it takes to do that so effectively. I can see you whipping through the painting like a band leader with baton.
Good value selection as well.
I think there must be great value (speaking of values) in knowing your subject so well that you can virtually snap your fingers and have them materialize fully formed like a Genie from a lamp. Really cool.
Love the skull necklace detail. Hahah. A subtle hint of the genre flavor. Interestingly, all the subliminal advertisers in magazines selling cigarettes and alcohol (it is said) used to slip in, as a "second read", skulls and sexy a goodly amount because there is some part of us that is pulled in by those images. . . I know it's sort of iconic these days of metal and goth paraphernalia and all that, but it's both seduction and at the same time a badge for the vampire club. . . and other dark characters. BWWWWAAAaahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

And as to the second one revisited, it's really a pleasure to see. But I can appreciate your considering it a little bit of a chore copying someone else's work. But you did it really well none the less.

As for the second one, I think that the poor old devil trying to invite the witch is far too old fashion looking (too masculine, no baby face, no tattooes, clumsy with smarphones, not extremely trasgressive and without the proper pills fior the rave). So no hope too attract her.
but what is the Stiff Style ?? STATTE BBUONO Si.....Si

Anyway here we go (14 hours, no tracing):
