Woah! You are absolutely fantastic at CGing!

Would you mind telling how you do that gradient-style shading? Please? Nobody will tell me.

Hey, you like all the bands and singers I like. TobyMac, RelientK, Newsboys (listenin' to them now), Chris Rice, Weird Al, Apologetix, Switchfoot, Jump5... Must...stop...

You think you could add some space beneath that scroll menu. It may be just me, but I'm kind of uncomfortable about having to read something when I'm not able to move it to the center of my screen.

I really like your banner, though. You did a good job cutting out your character, and I like that shadow you gave him. How did you do that?

Of course! But just so you know, things will be explained asuming you use Photoshop. Anyway, I just color each part a basic color I want, then I use the "burn" tool to darken areas, and the "dodge" tool to lighten areas.

Awsome!

Yeah, I'm working on that. I'm going to get rid of the small scroll area. I just need to change a few things on each page to do that. But don't worry, It'll be fixed!

I just copied him, made the copy darker, blured it a little, moved the copy under the original, diplaced it a little, gave it 25% transparency, and there you go! A shadow! It's a lot simpler than it sounds though.
