The one I'm leaning too is the middle. I tried to think where my Skeleton Mummy Boss Man would hid out or live, he floats around with his body just dangling there...so I thought somewhere impossible high, that would be good for sneak attacking Kirby. And it had to be a decrepit gothic looking old castle he is a monster after all.

I'm going to comment about your character and environment in this post. Where were you last class? Are you all right?
A summary of comments:
- Make the head of the character bigger!
- I think he needs to be brighter. Try making his wrap or body multiple colors, but if that doesn't work, stick to bright, flat, solid colors.
- Try mixing your first and second environments together, see what happens.
Scroll further if you want more detailed comments on the above list.
About the character:
I wonder if you need to have some bright accents on your skeleton. Kirby enemies (and the Kirby world) has lots of bright, flat colors. Even enemies with a pale color (khaki, white, light pink, etc) have bright accents, or really colorful shadows. I know some of the older Kirby games are kind of dull, but let's say you're working for a remake of the game. Maybe you could make his bandages or bones multi-colored. Try that out and see if it works.
Also, the head should be bigger. I think Sean mentioned this last class I saw you in. Are you feeling okay?
About the environment:
In the first one, is that an upside-down castle? Because that would be kind of cool for Kirby to explore, and it wouldn't be a problem for your character, as he floats. The middle does have more of the "Kirby" aesthetic...try mixing those ideas and see if you can get something out of it. I know it's just a sketch, but make sure the perspective of your castle can work. Even if it'll be turned into pixel art (you're doing a GB/A game, right?) the game artists have to know how it can exist in real life before they can break physics for a game.

I think the middle environemnt is probably the right way to go. I think maybe the supports that the castle is on could be a bit thicker/more substaintial. Also, do a little bit of research on castles to explore some interesting tower shapes. I knwo Kirby is a pretty simple/cartoony style, but it still helps to gather up reference.
