Okay, to explain why it's light and why the clouds are claw like:
1) It was light because my original idea was supposed to be a girl in a snowstorm, but i'm both bad at girls and 3/4 view stuff for the most part, so it changed into a side view. I want to keep it light, but i will also attempt to darken it to be more readable all around
2) As for the clouds being claw like, I wanted them to look swirly and all monstrous and whatnot, which is why i had them come back to face the girl.
So I still need help on the top one. Thanks again for taking a look.
