Alright, this will be a loading screen for my next game, but I just wanted to get some critiques from the pros here before I finalize it.

It looks great, but you could add some more eye-candy into it.


e.g, maybe a compass in the corner

Adding a bit more stuff to the border would look great too, just make sure it isn't too cluttered up

Don't add any moer. That would make it to busy. I would suggest moving the names off the edge. Also change "is" with "are" in the paragraph. Correct grammar.

I had a compass, but later replaced it with the naga. There's really no place to put it, plus I can't figure out where I'd put north/south facing.. xD

And I'll see what I can do about the border (maybe make some parts look more frozen/white than others? cracks?).
thanks

>move the names off the edge
like completely off the ice? I see how it doesn't look right there, but I cant find a good spot to put it (maybe i'll just take it out and give in-game credits)

and thanks for the grammar check, the paragraph flows better now.

Looks pretty nice. Way better than my early loading screens :)

I agree with what the others said, but I'd like to add that those red eyes on the naga really isn't fitting in. I'd remove them completely. You might also want to try lowering the saturation on the icey border in order to make it blend better.

Cheers;

again, dont add anymore.

for the text just put it ontop of the map and put it as overlay layer and make it blend in and also look good.

Try making the naga's eyes glow blue / green. Red stands out too much.

I think fading the red eyes out to something similar to the X mark at the centre would be better, or maybe a bit lesser. It still looks fine the way it is, though.

There's also something about the text (description) I just can't put my finger on. It looks decent, doesn't interfere or disrupt the image. But it doesn't really fit in with the rest.

The blue border is also too saturated for my liking. Should be changed, or removed altogether.

I think the red eyes are okay, they represent the scary evilness well.
It's fine. The text with the thanks is eh, and also kinda hard to read.
But overall cool.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    If you are new to the site please check out the Recipe and Food Forum https://www.thehelper.net/forums/recipes-and-food.220/
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
