i DEF like the silver one more, the blue one lacks contrast, and is too bright...
Background is nice, although personally i hate really crowded WP bg's...
A logo might look good on the right to fill the bg, instead of the brushing...
Also, why are most of the WP i see so small?? you guys really still work with 800x600?
multicoloring this render would be awesome, some silver metal stuff, red ribbons&finishings and a brown cloth...
Good job bfg.

Need to have different colours to give more contrast and depth, try adding a gradient on top with vivid colours, its a common but effective technique: http://img36.echo.cx/img36/2307/silvercopy3ja.jpg
Also you could try inverting the render to really give it that silver effect, obviosuly you can do more with it than me because you have the original psd. so there is no excuse lol.
Using some of those techinques you can turn repetitive into unique. I have millions more techniques to show but dont wanna fill the page with pics.
Hope this helps.

2nd one has very intense colours. It fits the pose of the samurai. Like rage boiling up, the inverse looking colours at the head are like an aura of concentration before striking...
(yeah, i know, too much imagination here :lol: )

meh, its ok, but i dont really like it. It is all just premade brushes arranged by you. If you made everything in that exept the render by yourself than i would like it more.
