Agreeing with Illusore. Also, um, not trying to be rude or accusative or anything, but I just recall that the third one is a wallpaper from Minitokyo and perhaps Animepaper...
Spoiler:
Are we allowed to crop from wallpapers like that? Cause I feel like most of the credit should go to the original maker if all you did was crop from it and put text on it.

I agree with Haladfire .. Participating in an art competition of sorts with image where all you did was add text on it seems a bit .. you know. With that said, I began to wonder if the first image is a crop too.
The third image would be nice if you actually had done it .. Though the text on the right, I like it .. while the text on the left I don't. The SOTM text is so different from the Byakuya that it just looks weird.

The first sig has the background cropped which then I changed and added some effects, brushes etc. The figures were more put at the first plan then (with some changes). Like I said to Illu, I suck a text Trough not always

Well I think the problem is that at least I personally can't see what has been changed when I compare the source and the signature you made. When people make signatures from pictures, they usually change it so drastically that it can actually be called something else than just a cropped picture. Like change background / different color etc. But maybe it is just me that I can't see the difference since I'm not a sig maker. For text, like I said I like the text on the right side, so I feel the SOTM text should be something like it even if not with the same font. Two completely different looking fonts just look weird.

... just my two cents. I hope I'm not being rude, and we're probably getting off-topic. I'll stop here and leave it for the organizers to handle... Edit: Ver. 2. Not sure if anyone would understand the text, especially without the context, but I also touched up on the edges and stuff Spoiler for ver. 1 for comparison:

So, I started with this, but I can't seem to find a good lighting effect/stock bg to work with to make the backlight. Part of the problem is not finding anything I like and part of the problem is the black grunge brushing around the edges has white around ITS edges. I could scrap the brushing around the edges, though...but
any suggestions for the backlighting?

Although then the backlight will show through on the highlights of the render. If that's a problem, maybe if you duplicate the render, remove the brushing from the top copy and set the bottom copy to multiply that will do the trick. Or something. I dunno, you can experiment with it. tl;dr: try messing around with multiply

I did the grunge brushes. Though now I've gotten rid of the ones around the edges and just used them to silhouette her out. I don't know about the background, I'm willing to do either. I'm looking for suggestions actually suggestions/ideas...?

A stock of what? i really don't know, but i would suggest using a anime stock, they go well with Silhouettes for some reason >_> The theme made it really hard for me to make a "homemade" BG, so i gave up and used a stock |
