Sorry guys, can't do anything about the lips--was like that to begin with. I can show you the original too, here:

Not bad. Subjective opinions aside, the only thing I can critique is the logo cropping. Actually, for a first time, it's pretty good. Most people do worse on their first go but watch the aliasing. That jagged edge around the logo is a no-no. Photoshop has the polygon mask tool with the anit-alias option you can check off. A bit of work but well worth the results.

Also, when you crop watch for highlights and shading that may have come along by mistake. For example, the lower parts of the logo have a lot of white around them. Even with anit-aliasing on you may get a little of that. You have to touch it up. Doing it manually with the eraser/brush is usually best.

You sir are a good critiquer (not OP)

In given situations I don't mind the white border on logos. Sometimes it bugs me and some people might be bugged always, but in this case I wouldn't give it a second thought.

The black was a clever way to hide calender elements, but I'm not sure it matches the character/picture.

I also think it's too much black in this case and I'd probably have shifted Rei to the left rather than have her centered.

I understand the anon who gives bonus points for wide, but really you have to have the right items, extra black is just eh.

Much kudos to all the criticisms--definitely helped; I actually didn't notice the logo until you mentioned it. I was more or less fooling around with PS to see what I could do.

As for the black, yeah, definitely excessive. I thought that too ;] But, it wasn't used to hide the calendar elements. I actually went through the trouble of cleaning up the image before working on it, just kind of ended up that way. Not satisified with the wallpaper myself, but have a ways to go before learning all the intricacies.
