XTREME SPORTS PAPER COVER

So this weekly sports paper asked me for 2 illustrations on 2 Mexican national soccer team players from Tamaulipas (Mx). Apparently they liked them so much they used'em for the cover as well. So regardless, what I didn't like was that they flipped my characters and stretched one offem. Also what's with their reds?
I'm not a GD but if you are, please, PLEASE do NOT do this. It is not professional at all and it doesn't speak well of you.

These are the two original illustrations. Can you tell what's different?

If you wanna see some sketches and part of the process on these illustrations, go CHECK ME OUT ON BEHANCE

A red hair smile

I was experimenting while painting this red haired hottie over here:

So, what do you think? Wanna see what I did with her?... I mean, while painting? *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* OK, here it goes:

1) sketch and color palette
2) skin color block in
3) shadows
4) details
5) hair
6) clothes and light. White BG
7) copy that in a new layer above, desaturate it, levels and overlay.
8) got it's opacity down a bit
9) painted some white stroke for glows
10) that's how the white stroke would look like. Then I give it some blur, overlay and opacity

Any doubts? It's kinda simple if you follow my process, isn't it?
