Help me pick a design!

[TayloredExotics]

I figure at some point I should start using a logo or something, since I want to take this hobby up a level. I go to local reptile shows, and keep being asked about a website/business card/Facebook (all of which I lack ). I think a logo would be a good place to start, so I spent the day drawing/editing and narrowed it down to these two; basically the only difference is saturation and vibrance. Which do you all think is better (or how can I make them better)? Any design critiques or advise are also welcome!

I prefer one, it's brighter and clearer

Can you share them other than pdf downloads ?

Here ya go! I'm terrible with technology (and trying to do this all on my phone), so these are literally just screenshots zoomed in on the PDFs

Yeah, I was going for a misty/foggy look with 2, but I think I missed the mark. Just looks out of focus

I. Like 1

I like no.1 it just needs a bit f of fine tuning ,it's a bit psychedelic and I think it's resembles a bit of the kaleidoscopic eye of a cham

They're both great, and you're super talented, I just preferred the 1st one. I like @Flick boy 's idea, too!

I like paisley

I'm not sure what paisley is? I always thought it was the old-timey flower designs

Thank you! Although I'm not sure what direction to go for fine-tuning I'll probably look at it tomorrow and see an entirely different image; I've spent a few too many hours looking at this one, and can't really SEE it anymore

Oh my goodness, yes! Fresh eyes after staring at an art project for too long are much needed!

I appreciate the offer! I always struggle to simplify things and end up with more detail than I'd like. Any tips to help my brain smooth things out?

To smooth ur drawing out I would either do one of these options
If ur on digital then create a new layer and make your drawinn into simple shapes then slowly add little details.

or

there’s some great videos on clean line art on yt that I recommend to create clean line art be confident in ur strokes don’t make alot of little strokes.

this ones my favorite when ever you try/make something again it’s 90% always better. So just erase everything and redo it and have the mindset less details just the key ones that make a chameleon a chameleon: the feet :the eyes : the tail: the crest etc

or you got a really good one to start with

sorry I suck at tips wish u luck
