As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

They should have said you in a Personnal Message why they reject your paper ...

But, When I look you paper, I think it's probably because of extraction problem ... I mean, it seems there are white point in the girl's hair.

Try to apply an anistropic fliter on your paper to reduce the creaneling effect visible on the characters and then, post your revision here ...

We'll see if it's better ...

Did you lower the image quality of that scan? because it looks a bit fuzzy to me - and I'm looking at the revised one. I like the burn effects you placed on the the characters! That was a lovely finishing touch. I'm not liking the text at all. The font definitely doesn't go and the capital letters sort of ruins it, or it could just be the spacing between the letters...Also I would also suggest changing the word, because Shin looks more sad at this moment, not very angry.

I think it's because of the text in the front. In general, I find it's best to minimize the use of font. I'd get rid of the large font alltogether.

Also, I'm not a big fan of the car..thing you added on the left. It looked fine previously without it.

The scan looks sort of like a cutout. Try to absorb it more with the rest of the wallpaper.

Looks good! :)

Um, get rid of the cars please. =/ they are not exactly relevant and they don't add anything to the wall. after all, gundam seed destiny is a show having much more to do with gundams/mobile suits than with cars. if you want to add ruined buildings or the remains of stellar's destroy gundam (just like at the place where stellar died), go ahead, but just not cars.

and maybe add some sparks to the fire? i don't know. overall, the fire is not particularly amazing, although it's decent. but i just don't feel that it has that look of a roaring, blazing release of heat and light energy.

i would remove the text altogether. vengeance is what shinn seeks after stellar dies, but it doesn't fit a scene of him carrying her. that choice of word would better fit a scene of shinn and kira together or something. as well, the font is not a fitting choice -- too many flourishes. fancy capitalized text looks bad. and another as well on top of that, you've got the default glow...here's a little caution: stay away from default text effects until absolutely necessary.

and the scan looks noisy on stellar's head and legs. why's that? remember: do everything in your power to make every part of your wall look high quality! ;] as well, if you want to do lighting effects, do it yourself. never ever use the lighting filter so directly without some serious additons/modifications. it comes out looking...not good and a little cheap. ^^; you can darken the outside of the wall by adding a layer of some black-to-transparent gradients over all your other layers. use black fill + mask + gaussian blur for a nice even look.

good luck.

You should try and make mistakes...That is a good way of learning new stuffs...That is how I learned...
It's actually difficult for someone to compromise and teach you so you should (must!) learn by yourself
Keep the good work...
I have notice that in someway people dislike big texts so..try to avoid them...I like the first wall you had...the second one is just too messy, but then the second one makes more sense to the background..what you could do is blur the scratches and bruises so they don't overcome the whole wall and take away some scratches they are just too many I think. And about the Mobile suit...You should look for a scan or any image with the specific mobile suit you like and take it out of wherever it is...Make it yours...
Clean it very well and dont let it look like it is just a copy paste o.k?
Combine it with the Background.

Before I even comment on the wallpaper... ZOMG! Your signature is huge!! Lolz!

Anyway back on topic...

If you want a good font try dafont.com, it's an awesome website for free fonts. I think you should go for something plainer than what you have already used. I also agree with the lovely asa01 that the title "Vengance" doesn't work. If I'm totally honest you could get away without having any text on there at all ^_^

Also I know this hasn't been mentioned before but you need to clean up the extraction esspecially between Shinn's arm and torso, you can still see white in there. Also just try to smooth it out a bit, it looks very jaggedy at the moment. Smoothing it out will help it fit with the background better.

Definatly look at putting some layer blends over the fire too, as like asa01 says it doesn't look very hot/spectacular. By adding a layer blend (maybe on overlay) you can make the fire seem brighter and like it's giving out heat, as willing the sparks asa01 suggested.

Keep up the hard work, you will get there soon ^_^ Just remember practise makes perfect!

Good luck!

As everyone had already pointed out...
The text in front looks really bad, imho.
It's just a plain black font with an outer glow.

And the background with the fire and cars doesn't seem to go together with your scan.
You have to make your image 'blend in' in order for it to look good.

I'm pretty surprised that you were able to submit over 40+ walllpapers, yet you can't seem to determine what's wrong with this one. =\
It's not that hard, really, just give it some thought and make use of the tools you know in photoshop
