Professor Vertex

So, I want people's opinion on my color scheme. Her name is Emberfrost. She is a member of Canterlot's upperclass who also teaches offensive/destructive magic at a magic school. So, my question is. Does she look better with leg gradients? https://static.f-list.net/images/charimage/1787316.png Or without them https://static.f-list.net/images/charimage/1787315.png
