2 and 3 are the only impressive ones here. People need to work on their color composition and palette, sheet is washed out or uninspiring.

3 gmv, usually having a person laying down takes up a lot of canvas space and makes the focal look too big, but there's some really nice texture and depth here to mitigate that

What's wrong with 6?

 5 doesn't even look like they have any effects around it and I have no clue how to even look at 4

 

1 is too dark and there' isn't much going on, it just looks like "hey, it's shadowy!"

 

2 is amazing, vibrant, coloful, shiny, the character looks good in the picture, the background looks great, the lighting is fantastic, etc.

 

3 is a mastapeece, great concept, great shiny lights, the pose is good, it's like an art drawing from a museum or something.

 

6 is too dark and like 1 is also just "hey, shadows!". There's also nothing going on at all that I like, even just making the eye look shiny red would've made the picture better.

 

So 3 >= 2 > 1 > 6 > 4 > 5

 

I really like 2 tho it's so much more sprightly

Voted for 3.

 

2 was a close second, but the lighting kinda washes the focal a bit. Cool colors and elements, though.

 

4 sucks. The rest look okay.

2 gmv. 

 

Wow. This is amazing. The composition and colors work very well. The wireframes give pretty good feeling of depth as well and the way the shadows are executed while having a bright bg is really nice. This is some inspirational stuff. Would appreciate the creator sharing the psd if you're willing :D

 

Also shout out to 1. The shapes and color scheme are quite nice. It's just the highlights aren't bright enough so it looks undercontrasted. The piece has a lot of potential though and I would be interested to see it developed further.
