I am trying to look for a good picture of Alexander from Final Fantasy IX (which forces me to narrow my search to an FMA where Alexander protects Alexandria from Bahamut). However, most of the pictures I find won't crop to fit Pojo's signature image size (or roughly thereabout) without looking bad. Or rather, without me making it look bad.

So, here's a challange. This is the best image I could find (all found on Google):

http://www.ffshrine.org/ff9/fmvshots-disc3/03-alexandersaves/00006.jpg (Picture 2A)
http://ahmynelson.tripod.com/alexander1.jpg (Picture 3A)

Now some of these are quite large and I apologize, but they seem to be the best quality.

What I'd like is a 70x450 (or close) banner depicting this character.
In a church-like font (since he is holy) I would like "Holy Judgment" and in dark, difficult to see text I'd like to see "Alexander".
I want the font to look like the carving on a church, sort of like Times New Roman.

Also, I would like the wings and the castle/machine to be the main focus. In the first three there is a dragon. I'd like to be removed or somehow made less noticable. Keep the background if it helps (I tried just smudging things to give emphasis to Alexander) and make an extention if need be.

I greatly appreciate any effort put into this and I would like something high quality (if that means extra time, I'll be glad to wait). The only caveat I give is that you give yourself credit somewhere on the banner (that doesn't interfer with the image).

PMs and IMs are acceptable methods of communication for more specific details.

Edit: the first time images here (http://ahmynelson.tripod.com/summons.html) are of Alexander. Might give some extra help, maybe.

The two below it are the same thing, just different qualities.
