Good work. Looks smooth, nice color scheme, actually a winning one, so i use it myself^^
As a blog it's very easy to navigate, but as myself, I find real webpages more serious.

ps. nice illustrations

I really like your illustrations.
I love black and white pencil illustrations so yours just easily won my favor :) . I like your latest "Are you lost yet?" work too - very nice :D

About your blog: your header/logo image (WINTER artwork + graphic design) is a .gif anyway. Why don't you make it with a transparent background instead of black? Thus the border of the image will not be so obvious and it will not cut off the background skulls as it does now. Just a suggestion.

I love your logo and choice of colors. Your illustrations are well done and you have a unique style -- great work! I think your online portfolio would be easier to navigate if visitors didn't have to scroll down the front page to view your work. I don't have a blog so maybe you are limited in the design of the front page. Have you thought of incorporating a link on the home page that will take visitors to a portfolio page where the art is organized better?

Thank you all for your feedback...I really appreciate it!

I've been trying to do that but it doesn't seem to work on blogger :confused:

I find real webpages more serious.

currently trying to brush up my web skill before I launch my own site

@ KHDZN - yeah the navigation on blogger isn't the best that's why I'm trying to make my own blog script

I agree with DreamSky. The header banner will look better with transparent background. That's not a problem of blogger (I've seen your CSS and those divs have transparent background), the problem is the picture has a black background.

Anyway, great job!

The header is more than ok! Now to think of it, tiled background is quite unnecessary. It simply cheapens the whole concept. IMHO :)

I LOVE the Mages logo! LOVE it!

The header or main graphic is so vertically tall that I missed the content underneath my first few clicks. Thought the site was broke at first. But I've only had a little coffee so far!

Kudos!
Blessings,
Nancy

Your vector work is very nice, love your style! Would be interesting to see your progress from start to beginning on them.
Reminds me of the vector versions of one of my favorite videogame character designers, Tetsuya Nomura, with Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. :)
