Well, I don't really care much for pixies, but I'm torn between 1 and 2. (By the way, you may want to number them or something.)

Why? Well, the third looks too... calm and peaceful.
Number two has a touch of malevolence in the eyes. It's also the most unfinished which means that it has the most potential for turning into the style of art that I do care for (dark and disturbing.)
Number one seems to exude an air of "just fucked" that calls to me for some reason. But, it also might be a "just ate too much" or "just drank too much" (especially with the upheld goblet). More of a gluttony than lustful satiation.

So, number two.
Make her evil. Maybe throw in a skull and a bit of hellfire. Some demonology or something.

Um, neither are finished, but one has to be by Monday. That's why suggestions are welcomed but have to come quick....

errr...you could do better. All 3 look weird and out of shape (as in they have no coherent form.) If I have to spend more than 2 seconds to figure out what they are than you have lost me as a potential customer.

The second is most interesting to me. The lines are fluid and self contained, giving the picture a more etherial sense. And the sprite's pose and facial expression are most interesting on that one.

"All 3 look weird and out of shape (as in they have no coherent form."

Precisely their charm. Go look at Georgia O'Keefe's paintings.

Yeah, I know that that none are finished. But, number two is the most unfinished. However, I don't think that my tastes are what you're looking for in way of advice.

I'd say you need to ask yourself what it is that your teacher would like to see and choose from that.

I'm going to guess number one would likely appeal to the type that I am envisioning as your teacher. Gluttony and hedonism usually appeals to remnants of the 60's. Am I wrong on my guess?

You know what number one reminds me of? The ghost of christmas past. The whole aspect of gluttony is what does it. I think that I might have seen a painting with almost that exact pose which is also sparking the feeling.

Let me look again.

Yeah. I still like number two. The touch of malevolence. The touch of coquetishness. The possibility for it to become the type of art that I like. Unfinished art is so full of possibility.

But, go with what will get you the grade.

You should also draw that which appeals to you. Which are you most attached to?

Just what I was about to say. Well, not the Georgia O'Keefe part. But definitely the part about charm. Pixies aren't real anyway.

Although, Sarge does have a point. If this is for some type of advertising, then the intent of the advertising or client should be considered.

Hahah, professor told us to do four drawings of somethng. So, he's going to get four drawings of somethings. He liked them, and left it to my intuition to pick the best ones (MY INTUITION?!). They just have to have the same theme; I satisfy that requirement.

Looks like you have your answer.

What do you think intuition is?

It's also apparent because number 3 is the most clear and concise image. The features are the ones you spent the most time on. Number 3 is your choice so go with your intuition.

I still find it too peaceful and sleepy, but you're the artist here.

DEFINITELY mumber 3. not only because you can really see bold features of the pixie's face, but also case it's the first time a pixie has turned me on...he's well horny!

I believe they are suppose to be shadows, not pixies.

Shadows? As in shadowy creatures from the negative material plane that drain levels by touch?

Hmmm.

Gayest shadows I've ever seen then. No self respecting shadow would hang out on flowers. And they don't eat or drink (except for life force) so the goblet in the first image is misleading. Unless it's full of the essence of life.
