I'm far from finished with this. Anyway, which one of them looks the best? And what should I change/do now? Lastly, does it work? (The white smudges outside of the border are not supposed to be there.)
I would get rid of the black border around the edges. Also try and make the background colour the same colour as Ichigo's auro around him. If you make it the same colour it'll blend in more. Also remove that small black smudge in the middle of the tag. Other than that its a good starting point. If you are smudging i would recommend trying out different smudge setting, search it in google. Good Job!
Yeah, the border just kind of looks out of place in all the blue. I wouldn't go with the second one because the black is a bit to blotchy for me and the entirety of the blue on the first one works. I wouldn't try to span out all the fuzziness too much outwards though. The liquidation in the far back looks pretty good, but I wouldn't use black for it... Other than that, you've got a good basicality going on. (:
