Okay I just need some comments to make sure my walls are good enough.
Here my list...

For this wall. I do need some pointers for better text.
Red Moon:

I'm currently trying to rework some clouds but I kinda forgot the process on how I did the clouds on the bottom. My clouds now aren't really the same... If it seem too blank I might add some stuff.
FLCL - Haruko:

Is it too similar to the scan it came from: http://img271.imageshack.us/img271/7452/11128630288995mh.jpg ?
Well that all that I'm planning to submit.
Now for my problematic WIP...

Tips would be really helpful.
What the best way to do the water? I want it to look kinda real anime-ish look.
Thanks. I hope it really not a handful to help me. ^_^'

They all look really amazing. The FLCL one does look a lot like the scan but it really works for it. The first one is really good and so it the second one. They're probably be accepted for sure. As for the Disgaea one I really have no clue about things like water. I could use some tips on them myself actually ^^;;;
My fav in what you have shown is the FLCL one...try adding more detail like a plane or somethin, birds maybe?
I'm a fan of yours from MT, and I'm sad to see you don't wanna submit Mai, your Harada wall. It's my fav :)
But next to those, the disgea one is nice but you need to redo the moon...it is poorly done and the glow doesn't work well. If the clouds HAVE to be redone just move onto the new style you have...maybe add a traditional dojo roof at the bottom, since she's in a kimono.
As for the WIP try adding more texture, it''s very plain.
Have a nice day!

Thanks for the comments. ^_^
Can do. ^^
The problem in my current cloud style are that they look soild. -_-
I'll shall work on Red Moon. Alot. ^_^
(Never knew I had a fan... ^_^')
About the Mai wall. I can rework it so I could submit it in the future.
Thanks. ^_^

My Passion: Try a calligraphic font? As for the foliage, I like the brush texture you used. But the bushes look flat, especially since you have quite realistic shading on the stone wall. Try using rounded strokes around the lower right hand side of the bushes to build up shadow and make it look rounded rather than flat, rather than just indistinct shading on the lower half of them. Also smooth out the gradient on the sky, it looks strange... look at real sunset pics and you'll see the colour change is quite subtle yet easy to notice at the same time. You can always add in a reddish or yellow radial glow just behind the trees for the sun.
Red Moon: Probably my favourite :P The clouds could be whiter where they're lit by the moon, which itself also needs a bigger soft glow around the edges. You can enhance the clouds with a light brush, set blend more to screen with a low opacity and build up the highlighting gently. The moon shouldn't have its cratering so visible, it makes it look less like a looming orb and more like a big rock O_o I don't think a slightly stronger gradient for the sky would go amiss, either.
Haruko: Not bad, the smoke, if that's what it is, looks a little indistinct. It could be more grey, try adding a subtle dusty texture to it.
The Etna beach wall.. It looks like you've only just started it. You could always vector trace Etna so her colours are nice and clean and bold, then work in a simple beach scene using bold flat colour and some gradients. Look Shuei's Yohko wall in the featured section, go for a bright simple style like that, it could work. Etna would need some colour correction though, she looks quite dark and a bit too much on the red side at the moment for a bright sunlit scene.

The only major thing that i notice about all your wallpapers is that they all are really simple, not much to them.
My Passon: Ummm, the cicle things look a little odd. they are just (somehow) balancing there. put some kind of stone or something to hold it up. the bushes/ trees look odd against the sky, like they don't belong there. same goes for the hill thing in the bg.
Red Moon: my favorite too. still a little too simple, but getting closer. there should be more clouds in the upper left hand corner. more stars too. and something in the uppper right coner (maybe more clouds?). it just looks too blank.
FLCL: bg and scan go together nicely, just add more things to the bg. give it more depth.
Beach wall: uh . . . . . everything looks really plain. maybe adding more to sand & water (texture) and sky (birdies or something). also, perhaps a couple little things in the sand (like little bits of grass every so often, like real beaches). but the only thing is that nothing really seems to catch your eye. it's mostly solid colors.
