First Impression I am greeted by a site with pleasing colors, and it looks like there is a lot of content. Visually, I am given a good first impression, but there are some things that bothered me as I looked deeper.

Design Let's start with the boring checks. Your site works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. It also looks fine in 800x600 and above. Good work with these.

I really like the colors you have chosen. They go together well and give off a sense of elegance. I also like the editing you have done with the banner. It's nice how you gave the character on the right focus by making her the only thing in color. The fading out on the left side is an interesting way of doing it, and I think it looks good like that.

...

Final Impression Graphics-wise, I think you do well. I enjoyed looking at your most recent wallpapers and layouts, and as mentioned, I would consider them high quality. Graphics about a year old, they're still okay. Any older than that seems to show a large quality drop, and they are much lower quality.

Your site also has a lot of writing, especially for a graphics site. That's fine and dandy, but not when the writing is a mess. There are spelling and grammar issues everywhere. When I read your Rants, your wording was either confusing or I felt you didn't get your point across that well. You tend to ramble, which I noticed on other pages as well.

The graphics skills are there, but the site doesn't seem to showcase them properly. You're on the right track though, and I hope you continue to work on it.

Total: 37/60 = 62%

First Impression

I've been to your site several times already and there's this particular thing about your style that makes it unique to all the other layouts I had seen. This layout is so far, my favorite.

Lets talk about your layout now. I like the different shades (dark to light, left to right respectively) on the layout. The brown boxes and the layout don't seem to blend in to me, but they don't make the layout look bad or anything.

I don't have much to say about your layout. At least it doesn't make me go blind...so that's a good thing! Your site looks very organized and so far, I have no problems with your site. The only thing I don't like is how you put all the contest banners under the updates because there's just a huge space at the end of the layout.

Your layout is viewable in Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0. As for other browsers, I have absolutely no idea.

...

Overall Conclusion

Overall, I think you did a good job on maintaining your site. You have decent content that struck out to me (plus, they're all new types that I haven't seen much). Your site is pleasing to browse through and all those good stuff. I hope that your site will continue to grow with more content.

Loading time/First Impression
Your site loaded somewhere in the middle of slow and fast, but more towards the slow side. Layout is not very appealing for me, I’ll discuss it on the layout section.

Navigation & Layout

Navigation is very organized and laid out. I suggest that you use other styles of bullets for your navigation to make it look better. Layout is very nicely done, it’s just the top portion of the layout that doesn’t impress me. In my opinion you overused your swirl brushes and made the images of the characters look bad. The rest of the images and brushes blended well though; overall, that’s the only mistake I see on your layout.

...

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Your site is original, organized, and I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it. You seem to be extremely dedicated to your site, and show the potential of improving. To make your site load a bit faster, I suggest you search for a code that allows the visitor to choose the ’skin’ that they would like to view your site with.
