@HappyTatoBooks I think the yellow has better contrast, but the pink harmonizes w your existing color palette (I like the glasses, too). Maybe add more color variation in the background of the yellow version (it's pretty limited palette) or a bit more intensity/lighten the pink character?

@JenniferLMeyer These are beautiful, and do really evoke the mood of Earle.
