Hi there..

I am no pro using Photoshop. Thats why when I made this wallpaper it took me several days to get it done. To make a long story short, It got rejected, ah..
After finishing it, I knew its not amazing, but I could not know why could it be rejected. Its not flawless but I think it was acceptable..
The rejection notification suggested that I post it at session zero.. Well, here I am.. And I am wide open to suggestions.
The only reason driving me into making this wallpaper was when I found out that there is no single wallpaper for City Hunter ort Angel Heart!!

Thanks a lot for your help.. your ideas and criticism is much appreciated.

The Scan:

Well lets see , the extraction could use some cleaning up , there appears to be a thin line around the characters . Also it seems to be too plain with just the faint city bacdrop . Just keep working on it , and it has potential .

Ah, The line surrounding the characters is my "outer glow" effect... As for the scan, I will do try cleaning it some more, though I dont think I can do any better.. thanks a lot..

Try to lighten up a bit the characters, I'd say...(you can duplicating the layer with the characters, and put it in "overlay" mode.
and if you want, add more brushes, because the bg looks a bit simple...

good luck!·

Any more ideas .. I'd love to hear some.

First of all, I don't recommend having an outer glow on stocks. Then I think you should make the wallpaper 1024x768px instead of 800x640px. The background doesn't really suit the images used (that's my opinion though). Overall your wallpaper is a little too simple.

Well, you can try having a background like... they're in a dark alley or in the city streets. Though I think dark alley would work better with this kind of picture. Also a grundge style would work nicely with this.
