Move to Creativity (not saying it's creative, though).
Taking sprites and backgrounds and putting them together is something anyone can do so I don't really know what to say.
Oh well.
When you do such things (whyever you would), please don't use different pixel sizes. It looks weird how you have these 2x scaled Sonic and Girl on the first picture and then those weird "glow blur" (which could have been done better without emphasizing the pixel steps; it looks really blocky).
Your borders look awful as they're just gradients going from the outside to the inside... No point in making borders with no effort when you could just as well not use any and it wouldn't make much of a difference to the piece of "work" you have there.
These scenes you made have a lot of "empty" space. The falling Sonics in the second one for example could go with much less bare rock surface towards the bottom of the picture (as in, cut the height). Same for the third where you have a lot of blank wall and only little space taken up by characters.
Maybe someone else has more to say about how you could improve the genral layout and add more action and tension between characters or whatnot.
Now that last one you just edited in is something that should've went into Spriting & Pixel art in a seperate topic.
The first one, I didn't know how to make glow effects outside of MSpaint, so there's that. The differing sizes do look strange, though.
More compact, that makes sense. In the second it's supposed to emphasize how far she's falling, but I guess I failed.
The borders, you're right, they are lazy. I don't know about outright ugly, but they could be better.
I guess the fourth is fine, then? And thank you for the split, I'm noobish, sorry.
