I think you have a very fine site so far! I don't know how much is expected - if in other words you just need a site that is clean for critique or a professional work in progress leading to say, sales or a full online portfolio - but I like the colors used!
The gallery is quite cool. There is so much vividness and detail in your art pieces that I don't see why anyone wouldn't be shocked.
All links seem to work fine but it could use some more text to help fill the palette in.
This will sounds silly, but when someone hovers over your main links, they turn grey on that dark red and become hard to read, you may want to change that so people can continue to see what they are hovering over to a more see able color.
The Gallery is good while still a small collection of your work, you may want to shrink the preview icons by a few pixels as you add more works to prevent your page from growing overly long or add sub categories once you post more art.
Guest books can be a positive and negative touch to a web site, you may want to turn that private in the future just to have as a more or less simple input box for your site.
Over all the site design is simple and it works. The colors are a bit white but not overly bright. That is a good contrast on the eyes.
ooh and Twitter, again to remember if your keeping the site professional that you watch on what you connect to it in this aspect but still. *follows you on Twitter*
twitter? I blame my teacher, she also suggests we keep facebook, twitter and the like on our page... I think it's odd too, but I will keep it there until I'm done with the class at least xDD;
I see what you mean about the hovering links, I didn't notice till now, I will also see if I can change the thumbnails to a smaller size too.
An Illustrator of 22 years, I continue my love of drawing with the same confidence I had when I first picked up a crayon in diapers. I can tell you nothing made me happier than that markered paper plate I made in kindergarten, adorned with garish/gaudy lime green ribbon - sloppily-glued macaroni scattered about, and glitter in every crease. To this day, I look at all of my work with just as much enthusiasm.
Drawing in many styles and mediums, I've learned to appreciate all forms of art by trying many techniques. The years I spend practicing and enjoying my work give me the strength to create some meaningful pieces I hope one day everyone will come to appreciate.
haha I love it too, thanks hiimdaisy for the awesome metal gear comics xDD I think the way she draws expressions is amazing pfff I had to make at least one icon
I'm really super loving the slightly tweaked gallery layout. =) It was fine before, but I enjoy the simplicity of a grid system even more than the previous where you had to scroll side to side. I truly think it looks great.
And I wouldn't worry about "sprucing up" your bio. I mean, my professors required ours to be in the third person xD So I think different teachers just have different ideas of what works ok.
