An excellent choice of background; it fits very well with the render of Mewtwo. What I don’t like, though, is what looks like lens flare over its arm and the little black lines behind its arms and legs. Lens flare in general is a bad idea, because, as I feel, it cheapens anything that is not photography. Where there are the little circularly arranged black lines, I think, would be better to have miniature explosion, like the lens flare over its arm, except not as monotonous. Text could also use some improvement. Perhaps, a bevel effect to give it a metallic shine to be more alike the Mewtwo render.
xDamon
The jerky, pixellated lines of the render really ruin the picture, and the colour scheme is very unappealing; dark browns and yellows create a very gloomy and dirty atmosphere, which may be what was intended, as there is rain in the background, it just doesn’t do justice to the image. Also, despite Zapdos seemingly emanating lightning, there is a huge dark spot taking up a great portion of the image, which could be, in my opinion, improved by making that part slightly lighter. Text doesn’t seem fit to the overall setting, because it’s very clean, too clean, as if it were for a jewellery advertisement. Although, it may just be its placement that bothers me, because on the left side there’s a very bright, nearly solid white colour, whilst on the right there’s an very dark brown colour, thus with such extremely contrasting background, text becomes uneasy to read.

Whilst the render used here has pixellated outline, it is consistent throughout the whole render, which is good. Text on the left is great; mimicking the render’s colour scheme, in this case, instantly makes it fit the image. The background, on the other hand, is very disappointing. On the left there is a faint hexagonal pattern on top of which there’s a supposedly bright light (causing lens flare) coming out of nowhere, then what looks like smoke. Honestly, that looks like effects were taken at random and slapped on there without a care of what it looks like, and the left part of the background – same story. Also, SOTW at the lower-right corner... that’s just lazy.

It does look good, but it feels too bright; that way at first sight the head appears to blend in with the background, and its body being the focal point. That could possibly be solved by making the centre of the back background a little darker. I can’t find any flaws, but it’s just lacking the wow factor. Really, that’s all there is to say about this.

This is just excellent. The background is amazing. The little dirt splatters going round the right part of the render are a little confusing at first, but that’s how mud should be. Also, looking closely there are little white spots around the left part of the render’s contour, which if removed would make the image perfect.
Canaris
The water theme is incorporated into the background very well; I couldn’t find any quirks or flaws there. However, I believe, it would be better off if the render were sharper. Text, well, it is too simple; styles of the background and text feel so contrasting that there’s no harmony amongst them. Maybe it would look better if the text had a dark outline to separate it from the rest.
