Title Now I behold thy lovely body. Version 8. Created in Photoshop CS. Best viewed at any resolution, any browser. In use since March 18, 2010. The brushes are my own. The textures are my own. The stocks are from here, here, and my own collection.

This is my webhost. Surprise!
Gah, an enter sign. Really, these are pointless unless you site is offered in different languages or layouts.
What a strange header.
Navigation
There are only three navigation links, off to the far right in a small box. The site link leads to a page with ~ 10 links, but as the
links are alphabetized it is easy to navigate, though I personally think some of thes pages should have a link in the navigation, such as
staff and affiliates.
Header
Um. In all honesty, one of the strangest headers I've seen. The kitten is cute, but it is completely out of place. Honestly if the cat wasn't there this
header wouldn't be so odd. The font chosen for the site's name is hard to read and pixely. The rest of the header is pretty blury; I would obstain from
blurring your graphics intentionally. I would also vary the color of the brushes, instead of using black for the cluster of brushes.
Coding
In regards to the appearance, I think the coding is nice. Different fonts and effects are used, but there should be more color. I wouldn't
use colors from the kitten, but maybe varying shades of green to make the coding more interesting.
The actuall CSS is highly incorrect. No head, HTML, or body tags and the style tag is wrong.
Content
Note This site's content is for Neopets.
Camy's Graphics
Userlookups Is this really one word? This site is obessed with kittens, I think. Anyway, I like the first and the last one
but the rest I do not find well-made. The two I do like are burred and pixelated and have badly applied text on them. I highly suggest saving images
at the highest quality and using images that are not blurred or pixely to begin with. The coding is also very boring and basic. Also, the
previews should open in a new window.
Warriors Guild Layouts So many cats. The previews for these are not blurry/pixelated, so I assume the actual layouts aren't. These
also show use of brushes, and the concept is interesting for most, but I still find these graphics boring. They could benefit from blending techniques
and textures. These should also open in a new window.
Wolf Guid Layouts The first layout is very interesting. The wolf superimposed ont he moon is nice, and I think the brushes work well with
the image. However, I can see the coding is still bland (lack of color, font, and effect variation). The second one is complete random, however. It's
a worlf PSD pasted over some random green brushes. It too has bland coding.
Dog Guild Layouts There is one with a dog (Corgy?) PSD random pasted on a cluster of white brushes. It too had bland coding, and is
completely random.
Pet Page Layouts The one with the cat +sigh+ is an improvement. It uses brushes of differeing colors and it's not just a randomly pasted
cat PSD, either. The coding, of course, is still bland. It appears to be black Tahoma only when there are a ton of colors that could
be used from the header. The header image might be blurred and pixelated, but
I can't tell because there are no live previews. The second is not as good, and the colors (red and fuschia) burn the eyes.
Enter Signs There are only two, but the are better than the enter sign the site uses. The "shocker" one uses interesting text effects.
Guild Logos These are basicaly 100 X 100 avatars. They are blurred and pixelated, have badly applied text, no image editing what-so-ever,
weird phrases on them. I can't see these being used.
Blazeh's Graphics
Warriors Guild Layouts This one layout is not that bad at all. It uses bright colors and differeing brush colors that match the
main image. There are still too many brushes, and the coding still needs to be "spiced" up.
Wolf Guild Layouts There is one here and it's not nearly as good as the cat layout. The image is a pasted wold PSD on a lake background that
is too sturated... and there is a huge cluster of brushes around it that are really unnecessary.
Summary
I wasn't very impressed with this site, especially the uncohesiveness of the animal graphics. I really don't knwo what else to say.
Suggestions
Use sharp images and save your images at the highest quality so they don't come out pixely or blurry.
Read tutorials on how to use textures, brushes, and text in your images.
Use more colors, effects and fonts in your CSS - both on yoru site and on your content.
Warriors = cats? What? Rename those to Cat layouts, because that's what they are.
Blend your images in your graphics. Don't make a cluster of brushes and then paste a PSD of an animal on it.
