Hi guys, I just finished my new site. I would really appreciate if you visited and maybe gave me some feedback. I also made it so everyone could quickly, easily, leave comments about my art...so do that, thanks. Also I am kind of lacking a title, any ideas?

I only see 2 issues with the site itself: 1. the font ( stuff in red ) is terrible, hard to read, ( i work in outdoor so I consider myself an expert on readability ) 2. The color, its like a maroon with about 35% white added to it, I dont think it stands out well, but then again it could be that awful font you are using. other then those 2 things, the rest of it is your style and I really cant judge someones style.

Conversely, I actually dig the colors you used. They're different, daring, and they're not entirely out of the realm of working together. I think you pushed the envelope and did something unique quite well.
I remember your style from the other board, and that sprite you made of Cedric from At The Drive-In. You had a darker pallette for most pieces, so I have a pretty good idea of your style. The link buttons you have for your site look interesting, but I wouldn't mind seeing them on a different color background to see how they truly work. Overall, good job. I'm a fan of it's design. It's not redundant and beaten like most other sites.

illeven, You sir, are the coolest person in the history of the world. Yeah, you look farmiliar from the board too (I used to be 'coppertop' also). Anywho, I'm so glad you said what you did, it was exactly what I was going for when I made the site. Also I tried a new text, tell me which one you guys prefer. 209.123.150.41/~patrick/aboutcosmic.shtmlor 209.123.150.41/~patrick/about.shtml

dont get me wrong i love this guys pixel stuff anyway, the font i was talking about was the graphic stuff, not the actual content in your site, the stuff in the linkbar. but If i were to choose anything, a 8 point verdana would probably look very nice on that site.

I won't go that far, but which do you like better out of the two I posted. I like the second, but the general concensus is that the first one (what I have right now) is the one to use.

Nice stuff you got there. About site itself: True, red font is strange and hard to tread. it also looks strange when put on the border of plain brown colour and backgroudn image. looks strange and is almost impossible to read. anyway nice pixelart you've got there

for a personal website i would not be too worried about the red text, i can read it easily enough, and i sit about 3-4 feet away from my monitor. I would personally change the white text to an off white colour, like biege , it'll be easier on the eyes and fit in better with the brown. At the end of the day it's a site about you, and is supposed to reflect you, so you just do what you feel comfortable with.

No problem man. -_e I have nothing but respect for artists who do things uniquely and are honest about what they truly want to bring out with their creativity. I had ATDI playing when I came to this topic, so now every time I see your name I think of them. Ha ha ha. They rock.

wouldn't work for me, and yes the red that sits on the border looks funky, readability is a concern if you want people navigating your website, I can read it, but it's not pretty, just cause of that line.
