Thank you everyone for your suggestions, they are much appreciated. I made a new version and I tried my best to redraw his hair (coz the original image had it cut off) hopefully that's ok.

I'm not too sure, coz in my opinion I rather liked that gradient, but since many disagreed, I created strong vertical lines instead. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thnx!

In my opninion that blend from orange to white on the left side kinda draws the eye away from Ichigo.

I agree with Setsunaku that the orange & white gradient draws away the eye from Ichigo. You may consider switching the gradient around, so it draws the eye in the other direction towards Ichigo.

I like the vertical lines, but not how one cuts off his bangs. If the original pic was like that see if you can just fill out the rest of his hair & move the lines over. It just seems like you're trying to squash him off the screen a little. Also, if keeping the gradient doesn't work try using more vertical lines, perhaps in varying size, of white & oranges to give the empty space some depth. Just keep playing with it & you'll find what you're looking for.

Yes i also agree you need to do something about the white gradient, and the left side looks bit empty, i understand if you want to keep the space for icons and stuff which is fine. problem is the wallpaper looks cut off in the middle, i would suggest you to add few more brushes, lines whatever you think its fit for the wallpaper from right to left as it will draws the eye from right to left. if you don't know what i am talking about , take look thisand this for example. hope i make sense to u...looking forward to see you finish this wallpaper!!
