Graphic Constructive Criticism

(click the picture to go to my request shop)

I’ve never had constructive criticism on any of my graphics before, and I think it’s about time I get some.
This is a remake of my old Request Shop poster, which was made quite quickly by simply sticking two pictures together. This was made with a bit more thought about what I wanted it to look like and I’m honestly happier about the way it turned out.

But what do you think? What can I improve on?

Edit:
After reading some criticism, I reedited the picture

Both are good, to be honest, but I don't really know about poster's art. Sorry for not helping instead of just my opinion. ^^

I like the pastel-colors and the simplicity. Oh yeah, I'm a big fan of blended images!

(Just some thought that I need to speak of:) I tend to think that amateurs go on the path of too much flickering thingys is better and oh yeah more color will catch the eye and some sprinkle of randomness will definitely get me some viewers... but to be honest that's just way too much and I actually dislike the work.

But on with you now.
Ritsu is right: all pink (though different shades <still a good thing) makes the main point of the image fade away.

Maybe a darker background? Like lilac/purple... or blue? If you use contrasting colors then the image will pop up. Have you noticed how well lilac things are noticeable in a yellow background?

Font is good. But always remember to use a font which is classy and easily readable.

The color matching is good, but I think there's a bit too much pink-y colors you know? Maybe add some contrasting colors like black. When you erase the picture, make sure not to erase part of the arm so you can see the pattern underneath. Um..I think this is personal reference, but use a chic-er font that's thin and simple.

I altered it a bit :D Like with clothes, don't use too much of one color
