'This is where I rule...'

got to agree with the 1st one, to an extent... liked the scale of the 1st piece better.

Although this is a V. good work... the first seemed to have 'more' somehow.

I also feel that the proportions of this image diminish the needed sense of scale and perspective that you have masterfully gained with the first.

Maybe create a 3rd piece so they work as a a triptych (no one really does those these days - I miss Heronimous Bosch) think if done right (I'm sure you're able to rise to it) that each work would support the others and become greater than the sum of their parts...
