Please help with your comments so I can improve and submit.

Thanks,

Ichigo´s scan it´s too blurry, you need to find a better scan or clean the one you already have, about the sand looks fine, besides that, you need to work on blending Ichigo with the sand, gives the impression that Ichi is not there. About the text, you can find a better font ^^

The blending is a little off, try cleaning up the scan. Um, can you try making the sky a little more a live? It looks a little dull and maybe try a different font colour to fit the background, instead of standing out.

I would agree with the sky, and I'm not sure i like what you did with the text either. The shadow thing should probably go.

As for the sky, you might wash it out some, perhaps, with only a tint of blue, or add clouds, or something.

It could be better, try changing the font.

Blur the sandstorm a little theirs lines in it (not the ones on the dune that show through) hit that layer with a guassian or some such other blur

Any tips on how to clean up the scan? It's actually a cut out from the manga, I can't find another like it. =| Please give tips on how to clean up the scan..

As for the fonts in the wall, I've tried not to work with them just yet, I was focusing more on getting the picture part right before moving onto the font...

Thank you for the comments however, I will repost with a revision. =D

Hi there..
well first your sign is way too big... you need to get it smaller so that it can be easily hiden under the windows task bar..
The tittle is not matching... i think that you should get rid of the horizontal line behind.. and try another kind of font..
Also you need to clean the scan..
And you need to change a bit the composition cause it looks untidy.. as if you had randomly added the sand...
goodluck!!
kisses...

Here's a revision to it:

Please comment..

You should really get another scan coz with a scan like this your wall will never get accepted in the gallery. If you are trying to achieve a nighttime look then the sands should be much darker even black in some areas. The sky never looks like that. The black cloudy stuff all over the wall doesn't look good. I can't figure out what you were trying with that. But I think that the concept of the background of a nighttime desert look is good and I don't think I have seen any bleach/anime walls with that concept. The advice I can give you is to look at a few walls here at AP to get an idea of how the sky looks during night. And probably search for stock images with night time desert look. And get another scan with a bit more detail or get a ready made vector or vector a screencap/scan. I hope it helps.
