In this case it is far too busy, and the difference in styles of the original wall and the CG's you've used gives an overall amateur look to the wall. To start off, a simple wall is going to look better than a complex one until you get a handle different techniques and effects in your image program (Tutorials are goldmines here, go through as many as you can and you'll pick up all sorts of handy tricks).
- While it's nice that you considered what would be cut off by the task bar, 1280x1024 is only one of many resolutions people use. it would be nice to see a 4:3 or 16:10 version, as that gap only makes this even more ghastly.
- Text is difficult to use effectively in walls. You're best off not using it at all. Generally when people use wallpapers based on an anime series, they're already familiar with the characters. We don't need to be reminded who 'That Gold Guy' is every time we look at the desktop.
- The wallpaper is already riddled with artifacts so saving it in PNG is a waste of space. Just play with the jpeg compression until you get a good balance between artifacts and filesize.
