Your style is absolutely amazing, the effects that you use are superb, you cannot possibly fault them in my opinion. However, there are still hints of This Is My Life here, his style is being used far too much, and you've used it on more than one occasion. You cannot fault your talent, however part of talent is having the originality to come up with new designs, and I feel that you're slightly lacking in that area. :/

It's basically the whole concept. Sure, This Is My Life wasn't the first person to do that sort of design, but he put his stamp on it. You need to make your mark. ^_^

This is the skin that your .mt is similar to. *edit* Well, maybe not that one. I can't quite find the link to one similar. That was what another one of your .mt's was similar to. Sawwy.

how is it?

For a dark skin I think the highlights are actually a little too light. Otherwise it's smooth, and nice. Plus... yay someone stayed away from using pure white and a mid grey in a gradient ( >_> )

Sure, TIML did a similar style, but for christs sake guys, when was the last time anyone actually did something new with that extremely huge space of 750x30 where the maintitle goes... along with a space for a decent sized forum name or topic title?

The only unique thing you can do with skins these days is make nice graphics for them, or bloat the thing with javascript and change everything everwhere and add erotic candlelight in the background or something weird like that.

Style... who cares, as long as the skin and colours are decent, as long as it has flow... and doesn't look like what I feed my dog at 6pm every day.

EVERYONE copies EVERYONE these days. Seriously.

True, but most of the people that copy have no talent. Jimmy does have talent, and he could be fantastic if he uses it correctly.

Sure, I used to be unoriginal, but please, I'm over that now. :ermm:

You need to have talent to copy things. You can't just make something from looking at it. You need to know what has been done to the shapes to copy something, and that requires knowledge, and skill to execute it.
REAL talent is doing something new.

I like it! What does it matter if he copied someone elses style? (If he did) It was still made by Jimmy! That's all the reason I need! ^_^
