Overall the illustration is nicely done.
I actually think the second version with the goggles fits better with the design. My suggestion is to use the larger circle as and eye and remove the strap. The strap is goofy, but using it as a large eye would work well. It probably would be better if it was a little smaller, but I like the style of it.
I might also try giving the flames a bit of dimension. It looks like they are flat color. Try adding in some darker/lighter parts of it too. It's really the only part of the illustration that doesn't have some texture/dimension.
Keep the jet pack/rockets from the first design. There's too much of it in the second.

PreferenceI prefer the first one with less exhaust because it allows for the silhouette of the whale to better show through. | |
Overall, I really like the texture, the subdued colors and the overall style. Very fresh. This seems really big for a header image.

CoolI like this style, the first one is def better, the whale is cute and adding too many reactors to it ruins it. The flame need work though, everything else has a gradient/texture but the flames are just plain. | |
I think the first image is the better of the two, its simplier and has a better initial impact.
Overall fantastic illustration, that some crazy imagination you have, astronaut riding a jet pack powered whale. Awesome

FlamesFirst set of flames are better | |
Square image layout?How will this be integrated into the website? It stands alone quite well, but I'm curious how this looks with the rest of the website. | |

SimplicityI like the simplicity of the first one, the second is starting to get too busy - nice work! | |
both are greate, but i like 2-nd, because whale looks like a pilot :)
I prefer to use the first one because the second is like its blind........and first one looks attractive

PreferenceWithout the goggles. If you've managed to put a whale in space, it probably doesn't need goggles. Just if you were in a story it probably wouldn't be something that you would add into the narrative. | |
Love this ! Additional details on the second image are unnecessary.
