Ooh, nice, like the colors. What effect did you use for that background? don't know how to describe it...burn? ripple...? is it a brush?
Uhh, were you talking about the pixely stuff? That was a star stock....or the smudged stuff behind Saber? That's a stock that I smudged with some weird settings. If neither of these were what you were talking about, then could you please clarify? Lol..
The tag isn't bad. It's an improvement, definitely. The purple is a little overpowering, and everything looks like it's been dodged a little too much. Text could be better, but I like that you added the star brush in the background. It makes it look like she's in space or something, lol. I'd suggest adding some C4D's going in the \ direction around the stock.
