Drawing: I need advice

Honor system! DO NOT LOOK AT THIS IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN

Below are excerpts from the two versions of my WIP Mother's Day card, and a poll.

#1:

#2:

[Poll #2042017]

I realized that the way I cropped it, it isn't obvious that the larger lady is a hobbit, if that info matters.

(Also, I need an idea for the Father's Day card.)

I think they both are lovely. I voted for the second because the fairies are sized more like how I imagine fairies to be.

I like the size proportion in the second one better!

Echoing the above comments: I prefer the size proportions of the second one. However: I like that the first one shows greater detail in the little figures, because they're adorable and bright and delicate.

On the second one the larger fairy appears concerned, rather than joyful, because of the loss of detail in their faces. So I prefer drawing #1.

Since the wings seem more dragonfly-ish than bird-ish, they ought to be more dragonfly-sized, at least in my head.

the first one looks like the fairies are approaching her, the second like they're waving goodbye as they leave
