Thanks to Mithrandir's mad coding skills, I have a brand-spankin'-new Eirewolf Creations gallery! This is my professional gallery, and much spiffier than my Elfwood gallery which you may have seen already.
Please tell me what you think -- the good, the bad, and the ugly! Let me know if you have any problems with it (and what browser you're using if you have a problem). Thanks! Happy viewing!
Also, please tell me what you think of my banner (below). I can work on it if it needs workin' on.
Eirewolf's professional art gallery!

The banner is very nice. Simple effective and shows what you do. The website is very nice also. Easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye, and also quick to load. The only thing I'm not so sure about are the warped text links at the top, something about them doesn't look quite right to me. Everything seems uniform and there aren't too many graphics and too much text to bother viewing, which is always good.
Great stuff! Well done and also to Mithrandir!

Thanks very much for the review! I appreciate it.
Do the text links look much different than this, other than some of the words being blue? If so, would you mind describing it? Is it not lining up properly, perhaps? Thanks!

No problem.
Yes, those are the text links I'm reffering too. They are all lined up, but I think I'm just not used to warped text and it gives me the illusion of motion sickness. Everything else is great! You can keep the text like that. It would be a good idea to get other people's opinions before listening to me. (lol)
God Bless!

Very cool. I'm glad that I found this thread - I had followed the link on your sig and I really liked being able to see all your art in one place (your Elfwood gallery is awesome, but it's nice to be able to see some of your non-fantasy artwork as well ^_^).
Your artwork is fantastic and the site is well-designed: clean and easy to navigate.

Thanks CreatureArt! I appreciate your compliments. I'm glad the site is easy to navigate. I can thank Mithrandir for that. 
W4J, thanks for the response! I sure didn't mean to give anyone motion sickness... sorry 'bout that.
I just had to do something "different" with the links, instead of regular text. Is it readable, in spite of its movement?

I was finally able to look over your site! 
It looks really nice, Eire. There were a bunch of pieces I hadn't seen before. "Scribble Skull" just has an awesome name. I mean, I see a story in that. 
Anyway, the banner looks really good too. I can't think of any helpful critiques I can give, other than I was so happy to finally see your new site. ^_______^
EDIT: BTW, did you see the poem Donna wrote down there in my sig? v

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Thanks Val! I'm glad you were able to see it.
So you see a story in Scribble Skull, eh? WRITE IT!!! WRITE IT!!!
I did see Donna's poem, only I didn't know it was Donna's! It's very cool.

Oo, it's such a beautiful gallery! I must agree with the others, the banner is awesome and I quite like the warped links. Overall the layout is working really well. I like the format for the gallery too, the navigation is excellent.
The text links at the bottom seem a wee bit big perhaps, but it's nothing major. I have a bad habit of always making things so small that people complain about difficulty in finding them, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about that kind of thing
I'm not a pro or anything when it comes to web design, but I've been to a large number of artist's websites and I definitely think that yours easily measures up. I've already added it to my favorites ^_^

Thanks very much!
I kinda' agree with you about the quick links. They could be a wee bit smaller, and take up less real estate.
