I agree, I know how difficult is to extract an image ( specially if it comes from a blurry and low res jpeg )
About your signature, you can also make it 25% transparent so it will be blend a little more with the background. Keep trying. By the way, how can i post my wallpapers in the forum before I submit them? I ask you this because I made a few errors and they fined me with 100 papers. At this rate, I'll never gonna be able to download anything anymore ¬¬U

Great idea. ^__^

He looks like the doesn't fit into the picture, tho..
Maybe you could try placing him inside a square.
Also, try making his color look a little closer to the other tans and browns.

Like keep it on a squareish basis. :P
and remove those circle thingies as well..
Just an idea. ^__^

Happy walling!

if the scan is so low quality then why is it on this site

I have checked the scan. It is of decent quality. The image is crisp and sharp. All that is required is to clean up the graininess and maybe some level adjustment. However, you downgraded the quality by leaps and bounds through application of excessive blur filtering and application of stroke effects.

And scans all require cleaning up depending on the paper quality the image was printed on (unless the scan source permits perfect image quality like pencil board or calendar scans). You can't escape from that reality.

Issues not yet brought up:
01. Anti-aliasing problems are clearly evident.
02. Diversification of style. You need to try out different wallpaper concepts. Your current wallpaper style is not so much different from your KG and Galaxy Angel wallpaper. Both employ the use of effects achievable through distort filters (polar coordinates and twirl).
03. Border design is bland, mismatched and generic. It does not break new design concepts. Never use emboss effects on borders as it only emphasises it's cheesiness.
