Hi guys, I didn't have my Archan Veiko up for nomination because I figured something like this was going to happen, but two years ago a few people suggested I open her up for nomination so they could nominate her, so I did. She was in the queue for a year and a half before getting rejected in December 2016 because there wasn't any credit on her page, so I added at the bottom that I wrote her story and drew the picture and everything. Today, I got a message saying she was rejected again because of 'coding errors' and 'aesthetics-image placement' but I have no idea what that means and why it was only brought up just now and not back in December. Is this subeta team's way of saying 'we don't like it please stop trying' or is it actually something does the HA just need to be moved or something?

Hm. I'm not sure what's meant by image placement; the HA might need to be moved, I really don't know. You could always align it to the left or right to make it sit a bit better with the story.

My own thoughts in terms of aesthetics/etc:

  • The box around the pet image breaks things up oddly, especially given the custom overlay.
  • The familiar's color scheme only really fits stuff in the HA, nothing else in the profile. Maybe make it an overlay to be more consistent with the rest of the profile?
  • The background's a bit busy on the eyes. Maybe mute it/tone it down a little, make it a little less opaque?
  • The story's not bad, but between the large paragraphs and how close the text's color is to the background/accent colors, it's hard to read. Maybe break up the paragraphs a bit more, change the color a bit, or use bold/italics/underline/etc to make it pop...?

Thanks for your response. I took the border off of the overlay, added spaces between the paragraphs, and centered the HA. I'm not sure what to do about the minion though, I just chose that one because it was cute. I'd rather just switch minions rather than make another overlay, but I'm not entirely sure what minion would work better.

- this is MUCH better, great improvements :) (I'm one of the spotlight judges) - I would suggest crediting where you got the background image from!
