You don't have much flow, it's just a bunch of stuff flying around.

Black border would look fine in this piece.

Also, it looks a bit over contrasted, might want to tone down whatever you used for that.

Not bad, kinda like Vicious Zen's style.

I'll cut you some slack since you're new and its understandable.

However there is no sense of flow and text could be worked on. There are many over contrasted areas that you might wanna tone down on.

I suggest you read up on some tutorials on this site.
Edit-Sorry if I sound kinda mean.

It's not mean hes here to learn like the rest of us an DR if thats mean I want your kinda mean all the time for every crit <3

Is this style called Vector?

I also agree with the prev comments

I would like to give some advice seems how like you I tend to pick "posing renders" and that can be hard to find the flow of the image, like your eminem and this beauty here, rotate them just a little in the edit tool to the left or right and BOOM you have a flow going on :D

Hope I helped ^^

I'm gonna clear the air right now. Vector, is not a style, it is a digital medium.
Short version:
You guys all know what a raster is, right? It's a flat image, made up of pixels. A vector, however, is a path, made from an algorithm, which allows that path to be filled up with pixels. This means that it can be resized, without any loss of quality. The only reason it has developed into a "style" is because vectors often end up being flat, and 2D, however, it's very capable of producing full on 3D images. Check out deviant arts gallery, you'll see a lot of 3D looking images, thanks to Illustrators awesome gradient mesh tool.

NOW, onto the tag.

Serious lack of flow. Have your elements coordinate with one another, and have them play off each other to guide the eye around your piece. Have them coming from your focal point, and heading in a line (curved, straight, whatever, it's your call) Dunno about the colors either, they're not bad, but they don't really have a sense of unity. It feels like you have a different set of colors in every corner of your piece. Overall, too chaotic, and needs to be brought together. The effects ARE nice however, they just need to have more thought put into how you execute them, where you put them, and how your color scheme works together.
