Review
First impression [3/5] : Honestly, my first impression about this graphic is not as good as what I expected. The size is not a concrete/standard dimention such as 700x800 or 900x600 px, however, there's still a lot room of improvement since you are new!
Font [6.5/10] : In good hands, these fonts can look pretty good, actually. I still feel like the typography is still too plain like you merely typed it on the poster without doing any further edits or modifications. Also, the size isn't really screaming 'title'. I'm not sure to focus on 'karma' or 'of the shattered'. The quote is real hard to be read, I suggest you to use another font for the quote.
Mood [9/15] : I do not feel any 'violence, abuse, just all around dark and unpleasant' mood. The poster somehow feels too plain, although putting the gun screams 'violence'.
Coloring [7/10] : Matching the color schemes of the characters in a poster is a must, since not every pictures we use in a picture come from the same certain photoshoot of the idols that have the same color balance etc. Their skintone looks really different and they don't really fit each other. Also, it still feels like 'a separated picture' with the background. I suggest you to use PSD colorings that you can get from deviantart.com.
Placement [5.5/10] : The quote placement bugs me the most, since it's too much towards the corner. Not going to say a lot, just you can really improve this field.
Blending [5/15] : Jimin and Jin are deleted real messily, since they don't seem to even blend with the background. Also, did you try to make their opacity lower? It doesn't seem to help either, since the background is all plain and there's really nothing to blend.
Resources [5/20] : No texture used, I cannot say anything. You can get textures in deviantart.com, again. The pictures picked are good, since they sorta fit the genre.
Overall look [6/15]
Total score: 3+6.5+9+7+5.5+5+5 = 41/100
Personal comment: First of all, I am sorry if it is too harsh or it's an inaccurate review o/ There is still a lot room of improvement, especially after you figure out textures/colorings! I would suggest you vanessax17 for textures and marioantonio23 for PSD colorings. It is already pretty cool for a person who just starts doing graphic. Good luck and do well! -asdfghjm15
