Any Geud?

I'm not expecting this to be some great work of art, I only spent about three-four hours total on it. This is the picture I used for the background on my Xanga (http://www.xanga.com/jaegolooloo). Since I only have one person who actually visits my page...I thought I'd get more feedback from you guys, considering I actually value your opinions.
So, anything I can improve upon? Or anything?

(The file it probably huge, if it is, I'll edit it and make it smaller)

EDIT1: Added a second picture, some of my earlier work. And by earlier I mean later. And by later I mean three seconds ago.
EDIT2: Wow, this post hasn't been up for more than an hour and I've already editted it twice! Anyway, thought I'd put in the original sketch that forced me to re-draw a Photoshopable version.
EDIT3: Make that THREE. Well, I don't think this is really what Aron meant, but at my current level of skill, I think this is alright. Besides, I wanted to add a shadow...so...pick your favorite.

I R A nite!!!11 OMFG!!!L!OLOLOL!!!!1111!!!

Classic AIM wording, classic. Nice pictures, the effect on the first one is pretty good. You should try to emboss the image to give it some depth.

Oh poo, you're right. I was planning on putting in a shadow...must have fo-gotten. I'll go check that out. Emboss...emboss...

The original has understated ochre shades that not only induce psychological relaxation, but look more natural. The embossed one looks more stark, and although it has depth, the figure seems more two dimensional against the light.

Nice work.

That's what I thought, but not in so many words. I wanted to basically just put a shadow on the first picture...but...I had to flatten the image and get rid of the layers, so that was out. So I had to start over.

Ahh....a original

I like. How'd you come up with something like that?

I'm glad you asked (nice avatar, btw). I got them from some screenshots from the upcoming Silent Hill 4.

I got the idea for the formation of the chains from this: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/silenthill4theroom/screens.html?page=22

Then the idea for him being attached to the wall from this: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/silenthill4theroom/screens.html?page=25

And this one helped for some reason: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/silenthill4theroom/screens.html?page=11
