I just used the brush to draw it myself. Took the opacity to 50 then added a blur and so i added the GLOW effect.

It would be hard to make the backround glow as you would have to first have only the characters then add the backround in a diffrent layers.

And i have never used AE before but i can try make one

I dunno about outsourcing work to others when you still have much to learn. This is one of your first wallpapers right? I'm gonna be blunt: it needs improvement. And that's okay, because then you can start making better stuff.

Here are the issues:

• Text distracts the entire composition. It doesn't have much need to be there either if it's going to be a wallpaper. If you wanted to know who made it, make an insignia/signature on the bottom right
• The wallpaper is just way too simple, as Marten Studios said. Add bigger and better scenery, or make it capture something with more value.
• Change the lighting from the defaults. The default lighting will not separate your wallpaper from the others well enough to stand on it's own.
• Don't try to use any AE until you can make a good wallpaper without it. Not to say it can't be used, but if it looks plain/bland without AE, then your wallpaper held no value from the start.

Hope those tips help you get started.

I selected the brush, and made a new layer then i just drew rough in and around the eye then i lowered the opacity after that i selected the blur.
