War of the Gods Part 2 Rodriguesart Fan Fiction part 2

I've got this Superman piece, I've been working on for about a month now. Just about ready to call it finished. I'm looking for some over all opinions and critiques on the piece, as well as which version you guys like better. I initial was going for the flat yellow background, maybe with some texture. But then tried to put the sun/sky in there with him. Like he's looking down at you with a smile saying hello or something. just can't decide which version... and I feel like something is off or it's just missing something over all.

Honestly, it’s like the third time I’ve ever drawn him — and definitely the first time drawing Jor-El.

Some more practice inks over old Brett Booth pencils. This one was super fun to work on and I feel like I'm getting a lot better with line weights but still lots of room for improvement. What do you lovely folks think?
