Do a barrel roll!
I'd have to vote Helios, EVEN though it's at best high novice.
Good List:
Good colors
Good blending
Somewhat good flow
Bad List:
There's some random stuff that cuts off the flow, causing the image to become worse.
Very very bad lighting: Where is it coming from? What lighting? Where?
The blending on the left knee, look closely. It's looks like it was pasted on it.
The style you chose had lots of potential, and so does this piece. But you don't have enough C4D's to put in from of him, you just put it in back. Some are in front, but barely enough to give this a passing grade.
The render itself was cut out badly.
Overall, you could use some more work.
My second favorite would be the second one.
Good List:
Not bad lighting
semi-okay effects
Creative text
Bad List:
Too much contrast, it just gives the illusion of a good picture. But for a GFXer like myself, I disagree. It instead creates the opposite, makes it worse.
At first look, the effects are pretty nice. At second look, it looks like you just figured out how to use the liquify tool.
The text. As a novice, I'd say you did pretty well. The text is creative, looks very trippy and neat. On the other hand, there's only one problem. IT'S IN A CORNER. Never put text in a corner. There are two things that putting text in a corner would do. It would be ignored because it isn't visible enough, or it takes the concentration from the focal, to the text. I recommend putting it nearer to the focal.
The lighting... as I said before on the other guy, Helios. I cannot see where the light source starts from. There's too many going on, and too little where the light sources originate.
And for those other voters, here's a tip.

What to Consider when Giving CnC/Voting
- How is the quality of the render. Does it feel in proportion? Is the quality just not fitting. Is the render placed properly? Is it blended, too much, too little, or none at all.
- How is the lighting if any? Is the lighting minimal? Is there a light source but no light on the render? Or vice-versa.
- Is there depth to the work? Or was the concept just ignored? What could add more depth?
- How is the flow? Did the artist just slap the render and other pieces together with no certain direction of movement? Or did they think it through and add flow to the work?
- Is the background matching with the render? Do they blend together? Or does the render/background stand out?
- How is the brushing? If any, does it flow with the work, or feel out of place. Does it blend?
- How is the C4D usage? Are the c4d's properly placed and blended? Do they match the flow of the work?
-Is the text placed properly, or does it feel out of place and not part of the render? Is the font choice appropriate?
-Do the overall colors match the portrayed mood of the work? Or are they out of the appropriate spectrum?
- How is the usage of the various adjustment layers? Gradient maps, exposure etc. Are they used effectively or sloppily placed on with no predetermined effect desired?
-How is the contrast? Is the work going all over the light and dark spectrum, or does it maintain a constant theme?
-Is the work over-sharpened, blurred, or just right?
- How is the smudging, if any? Is it overdone? Does it follow the flow of the rest of the work? Or is it just placed on for the sake of it being there?
- Is the work aesthetically pleasing? Is it nice too look at, a work can be composed right, but because of how it formed, it becomes unattractive.
