The current site is www.sofaweb.f2s.com
The design is old as the street, so I thought I would make a new design. I'm still collecting ideas, so you could help me out a little.

I think i'm going in the direction of pixel art. Those drawings where made by the guitarplayer of the band (i draw better but different style). I colored them, it's my first airbrushing I ever did. Comments on that plz.

Ow yea, check out the movies in the photo section, so you have an idea what they play.

And my brother is the one with the hat and bass-guitar

I like the second one , best, The colors of the first one seem so 'normal', while the second one is kind of mysterious, fascinating...


Nice airbrushing, do you use a wacom or something like that?...


Greetz, CyberoX

thx for the comment.
I did the airbrushing with the mouse.
Yea I thought that to, the highlights show so much better.

I made an very first version of the interface, a lot is going to change.

I put the faces of the drawing in the little square. But they already have a new member that's not on the drawing so I had to draw it. I don't know if i'm gonna keep the faces though.

your interface is going real nice...

really original with those sofas as link items...

I am looking forward to seeing the definitive site;..

Maybe I could suggest one thing..In the middle you have those lines to separate the link part... well those l ines aren't always in the same angle (evenwijdig) if you know what I mean....



CyberoX

Ow thx for noticing, it's supposed to be "evenwijdig"

(What's the english word anyway, linear?)

Yeah, no you mention it, I also think 'linear' is the english word for it..it was at the top of my tong, but I couldn't come up with the good word...

That guestbook item really adds something to your navbar, just like those two little bars on the bottom...

If you've got time, could you explain how you made that effect, it's like it's pixelated or something..how do you draw in photoshop with that much detail??
