I've been working on this for about 2 or so hours now, and I'm super tired, it's 4:10 here, so I'm just posting this as a WIP to get some good criticism. I really want to know what to do better, so give honest opinions. This is my first template btw.

if you have a dA, comment on there please.

there's gonna be a shitload im changing, and btw, I just realized i wrote, "halomega. duh" on the banner. and that was just a placeholder.
shows how tired i am.

If you use the same grain and colours as in the header around the dges instead of that cyan, it'd look much better.

you have your own unique style in everything i do, and thats why i <3 you so uch, but a template needs to be someting that appeals to everyone, and i just feel the template is a bit quirky.

the fonts are kinda big and "childish" if you get what i mean. cute, but see what other people think. the banner is uber boring tbh, need a bit more detail. well, a lot more.

i think theres other stuff people will tell you to add but thats my 0,000002 cents.

and i kno its work in progress so some of what i said is stupid but w/e its too earlier and im hung over.

I kinda hate the cyan and gray..maybe switch up the gray to lemony green and the darker grays to brown or something..ya'know..make a fruity layout.

The header is a tad bit to big, I think max height would be around 120.
Add some layerstyles to the buttons, they look so boring right now.
The log in part's (the "username [name here]" part) are to big, just crop them from an existing forum to get the right sizes, same as the HUGE "remember me" button.

But I know you are going to change a lot, so keep up the good work, it'll come together.

I don't like the colors. I think darker skins fit us better.

Yeah, I'm going to change alot probably.
the banner was just a placeholder i said, i just put it there for reference or something.

i wanted to make a really simple, aesthetically pleasing skin, and so far i think im doing that.

It looks alright, I just don't like the all Lower caps text and I know that occured because 'Swatch it' is a All Lower text font. Look's decent though.
