Well, that Mai HiMe wallpaper of mine didn't really work, so here is another one. I think this is pretty good right now, but would this be good enough for the gallery here?
Any suggestions, how could I improve that? (don't say too difficult stuff, because I'm such a n00b heh)

It's really late here, so I can't sit down and look over it right this minute, but I did notice that you are missing the first p in "wallpaper" down in the lower left corner.
I think you went overboard with the filters. It's too "loud" and "extreme", thus distracting the viewer from the characters.
As for the characters, you should make them larger. Ban's head should be closer to the top of the wallpaper while it is preferable that Ginji takes up more than half the wallpaper height. And I think you ought to brighten the characters more by adjusting the levels (Ctrl+L).
Color-wise, the colors kind of clashes against the characters because of the explosions of white, turqoise and neon blue versus the characters' green, yellow and brown. I would prefer if the background use darker colors like black and dark purple but then, it's just my own personal preference.
PS: The lightnings around Ginji's arm should be white with blue glows instead of green.

The background is waaaaaaaay to chaotic. theres so much going on you don't notice anything else. the background should either push emphasis on the characters, or blend all together with them.
otherwise just follow everything dias said. i just wanted to repeat that fact since it's crucial. that, and the characters should definitly be bigger.

Too much filters is used here and it makes the background looks way too busy. The color of the background have tones of blue while the characters has brown, yellow, and green colors. Maybe if the background is darker and have shades of dark green, that would fit more. Right now, the text style isn't quite working. The text is green while the background is blue. It would be better if take away the reflection of the "Backers" text. And that you should use text that are not cursive-like for the rest of the text, since it kinda' clashes with the font of "Backers". Brighten up the characters a little bit. Other than that, your wallpaper is good but just needs some tweaking to it.
Think you got what it takes to be part of The Paper People?
Okay, my 2nd try is here.
The characters are now a bit bigger and the background has differnet color and is darker. Also the characters are brighter and the lightings are now blue :) I think it looks a little better now... What do you think?

Ban's lightning shouldn't be blended so you can see him through it. It should be opaque. You can always duplicate the layer and blur it for glow or something...

I think that your second try is better but your background still is a bit too chaotic which confuses the whole wall. try make the background less distinct by using simpler, darker colours. you should also try take out some of the detail by reducing noise, bluring or by using some simplifying brush filter on the background.
Keep up the good work.....

I'd loose the text altogether to reduce clutter and simplify things. Possibly keep but simplify the 'getbackers'.
I'd also fiddle about with the levels for the background and pull it down in brightness but try to retaine some elements of brightness and tonal variation. But that's more of a personal one.

Hereis my new try. I tried more simple background, but I'm not sure if it fits with the characters. What do you think?

I think the new background is a lot better. The scan looks kinda grainey, so I'd think abotu cleaning that up.
The text is still too much and too complicated, though. I mean, how many layer effects have you got going on there? :/
Text looks better when it's either quite plane or has been custom designed. You should check out some of tatekane's walls for excellent use of text.

The main problem with the text is that they don't flow together. You are using two different fonts that comes from different categories (i.e. serif font and scribble font) that doesn't go well together. Either choose fonts that look good together or stick to one font.
Placement of text is too "convenient". It's like being there just for the sake of being there. Not many wallpapers have texts on the top left area. It just doesn't look good to the eye. My suggestion would be to take a look at other wallpapers and see how they place their texts and the fonts that they use.

Well, I edited it a little. Any better?
