Bleach Baboon King

Third revision. I worked a bit on Renji's eye. The first scan I vectored had very LQ, but I found a cleaner version and played a bit with some details and gradients. I think it looks better now. I also made Renji and Zabimaru sharper (just increased opacity, actually) I'm not sure if it looks better this way. I tried to do something for the background, but I haven't found a texture that blends good enough with the color, so I'll work some more on that. I didn't have time to fix the text, I'll do so for the next revision. Advice is always appreciated

Fourth revision I really appreciate your comments. I've been working on the background, and I'm not sure if this is what everyone meant on the grunginess, but I think it looks tons better. I'm thinking of getting rid of the text, but I'm not sure yet. As you can see, I made a huge change on the sword's shape. I was toggling with layer visibility and I thought Renji looked awesome against the blood-red BG, so I played a bit with merging effect and this is the result. I like it better this way, but what do you guys think? Now the fire or glow thing is a no-no. It doesn't fit what I'm trying to get here. I'm aiming for something simplistic. And I know how to upload a new revision, thanks for your concern, but if I do press the "upload new revision", the wall won't go back to "first" on the list, and less people will see it, which is what I want to prevent. And Jon1vi I have no idea of what you tried to say.

Fifth Revision Love all your comments! Thank you. I played a bit with layers and only brought up Hihio Zabimaru because the low opacity didn't match the sharpness of the rest. On my part, I'm pretty satisfied with the new one, and I might as well upload it as it is now, but I want to hear your opinions before.

PS. Thumbs looks awful and blurry. Check full-view please
