First Impressions: [5/10]
at first glance what i thought (sometimes unedited thoughts
and how my mind works when i first look)
my first impression of it is thats is ok. 
nothing really special.
 

Technique: [12/20]
how masterful are you at blending/cutting
the blending needs work. i can see the lines from the circle cutting into his head.
top guy's shoulder looks like its been erased too much.
and then on the right theres a whole section of not sure what. 
and the bottom guy i can see the whole outline of his original background.
heres a tutorial in blending that i wrote,
there might be some useful tips even if you dont use this method of blending

Resources: [13/20]
does your images/stocks/brushes/textures enhance the poster
the images themselves are good quality.
the top guy is good, and gives a vampy vibe, if he is a vamp i would have liked to see that emphasized
i think it would have been perfect if there was blood dripping from his mouth and him wiping it away.
i hate the picture of the guy on the bottom. i think thats a really weird postilion.
and his puffy jacket is all i see when i look at the poster. 
it looks like he is showing the jacket off. his face also doesnt match the mood.
he seems too happy. maybe cause he got a new jacket.
i would have liked to see skintones matching. 
Unless the bottom dude is suppose to be pale.. doing the whole.. twilight pale vamp thing...
if not then i strongly suggest matching them for a more cohesive piece.
try using curves, and levels to see if they match.
another thing is the white circle. is that suppose to be a moon?
i think an actual moon stock would enhance the poster more.
it would be more obvious that its a moon.
other resources like more stocks would be nice to enhance the poster and give it more meaning
stocks can help give the viewers a greater sense of what the story is about.
the textures are good and sort of looks familiar lol.
i would like to see some more color variation though. some more contrast.
dark posters can use some more bold and adventurous textures
compared to romantic posters so i think trying some new things can work.
maybe some torn/ripped paper edges, or some bloo

Chapter 50: Sorry for the late comment bb! Thank you for the review! I wasn't too sure on this one, and I started doubting myself after I sent it in, but I guess I should be more confident because you thought it was interesting ^^
I do admit I oversharpenined this a bit more than I should XD The pictures used were fuzzy after I resized and I overcompensated by sharpening too much OTL
