Thanks  Idk the over all quality isn't good for me i was going for a legit look but i need a tut or help making shapes. Basically i really need to learn how to use that d*mn pen tool.

I don't know what techniques you used, but it looks like a masking job. Which, if it is, is a very well done masking job. :] I think all of the individual elements in this look very good, but I think what be causing your dislike is the actual design of how everything is put together. The trainer and darkrai in the foreground are a good focus, but the pokemon in the background look a lil mushed together, and this makes the whole thing look very busy; especially on a white background. The "Ez" part also looks a little thrown together. The transparent effect and gradient are very well done, but the placement seems a little off to me. Maybe if it were lower and a tad more to the left?
Sorry if this is a harsh critique, but if you need help, especially with the pen tool, let me know. ^^;;

What do you think of my new one?

[Annafu]

That new one looks much better! My only pet peeve is that it looks like the grey boxes are falling off the left side xD This happens when there isn't a border, but if you don't want to add a border you can also just move the pokemon over to the right a little bit. Maybe line up the left pokemon with the E of Ez?
But like I said, just a personal thing. xD Overall, fantasticly better. :]
