You've done a lovely job on this, especially with the different color-usage so that it doesn't come off as too plain or too extravagant with the simplistic style you went with ~ . I really love it ^-^.

I dig how clean the look came out! It's obviously not that simple a skin (unf sexy features), but it looks so cleeeean.

This is amazing! I always love skins that are very "website" looking.
Great work, as always!

Fantastic design! I really like the subtleness of the skyline at the top, and (as always) you have a great eye for colour and neat design. I think this skin looks nicely balanced too, with the author's name etc. in the pink/red side bar at the top left, then the 'X Comments' part in the teal bar at the bottom right.

Thank you! Tried to do something a little different from my usual designs, and I think it paid off.

Very very nice skin!
I found a small issue though:
Some usernames (like mine) don't quite fit in the box, so I have to change the font size so it fits. I don't know if it's just my screen, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

I tried forever to see if I could fix the issue with the usernames, but unless I make the left column annoyingly large, there's no way to make it better.

First that lovely gallery skin and now this? Wow you're turning out quite a lot of nice things for us to use. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Haha, I love providing resources for folks to use. There's nothing quite like going to people's profiles, only to realize that they used a whole bunch of your skins.

I know how you feel kinda. Just yesterday(I think) I came across a video on youtube that featured one of my creations as this guy's #2 best evil character ever. So it was a great feeling knowing someone thinks that highly of my work. People tell me often that my MOCs(MOC is an acronym for My Own Creation) inspired them to start building as well, and that amazes me every time.
This is the creation I made, its spawned many drawings , a sculpture and most recently, a plushie, . When I joined DA I started posting my MOCs just cause I didn't have anything else artistic to provide, so I figured "eh these are just my stupid little lego robots, no one's gonna give a shit about these." Man was I wrong! I never though I'd get the kind of reaction I have here. And nothing else online compares to it. DA is just an amazing freakin place for artists. So I can definitely relate to having things you created being appreciated, used, or emulated, or just taken inspiration from. I'd love to get into CSS, but that stuff just frustrates the crap out of me. I hate tutorials cause they never help when something goes wrong and in CSS literally a space in the wrong place can mess it up and I don't know what's wrong. It also doesn't help that I have vision problems, and reading text is the most effected thing because of it. Its why I don't read books much anymore. I needs me a tablet so I can read but on a screen that's backlit and can zoom. While the feel of a paper book is nice, they haven't figured out how to add those features yet.

" I was on a roll for maybe five minutes while creating the header, and then I got completely stuck."
That's how it is for me all the time
You open PS and are like "I WILL MAKE THE MOST EPIC SKIN EVER" and already while getting started you totally get bored or distracted or find any other reason to just do whatever you did before.
Really like the look of this, just not sure about the bevelled borders. Somehow it interrupts the overall flow for me D:
What i really love is how you added the avatar/name and especially the symbol. That's pretty sexy!

Really? You have such lovely designs though!
Thank you, just trying out some different and new ideas.

Thank you, nice of you to say. But i am not happy with 90% of the skins i do lol
That's always good. These days i am rarely motivated to do so, but it's nice when you have fresh ideas and it totally works out the way it was planned.
Haha
